The Polisario declares a general mobilisation. It does not say what changes.
On the evening of 10 November 2026, the Polisario called a general mobilisation. It accuses Morocco of massing troops along the wall. The statement gives neither a place nor a figure. No independent source has confirmed it.

What the statement says
On the evening of 10 November 2026, the Polisario national secretariat met. Brahim Ghali chaired it. The SPS agency, which speaks for the movement, published the statement from the camps, at Shaheed El Hafed.
The text declares a general mobilisation. It accuses Morocco of gathering troops, weapons and equipment along the wall, and in areas it calls contested. It says this contradicts Rabat’s statements on the ceasefire.
It calls on Sahrawis to stand ready. It asks the UN and the African Union to step in. It warns of an escalation.
SPS also presents Brahim Ghali as president of the SADR. Morocco does not recognise that republic.
In plain words it is a call. It is not an account of what moved on the ground.
What the text does not say
No unit name. No precise place. No figure. No timetable for an operation. The statement stops at the accusation and the call.
As of 12 November, no independent observer has confirmed these movements. The UN has not said, in a press briefing, that it saw them. Since midnight on 31 October, MINURSO no longer monitors the ceasefire. There is therefore no longer anyone, on the ground, tasked by the UN with checking this kind of announcement.
What Morocco says
No Moroccan statement, since 10 November, has confirmed a reinforcement along the wall. On 4 November, the Royal Cabinet recalled that the Kingdom remains attached to the ceasefire. That is the last official sentence on this point.
The Polisario, for its part, has said since November 2020 that the 1991 ceasefire is broken, after Guerguerat. The two readings do not meet.
What it does not change
The declared mobilisation does not bring the observers back. The mission’s liquidation continues. The secretary-general already asked, on 1 November, for maximum restraint. This statement does not answer that request. Nor does it prove that Morocco moved.
