At the height of the Ceuta crisis, José Manuel Albares and Nasser Bourita exchanged messages and spoke as many as 27 times in a single day. Morocco denied any responsibility for the mass arrivals, while Madrid now rules out the possibility that Rabat was issuing a warning.
The president of Algeria’s Council of the Nation, Azouz Nasri, launched a fierce attack on Morocco, accusing the “Moroccan Makhzen” of pursuing a project of “settler colonialism” in the region and harboring “expansionist ambitions.”
Facing recent diplomatic setbacks and growing international support for Morocco’s autonomy plan, Brahim Ghali calls for general mobilization. The leader denounces a coordinated offensive aimed at undermining the population’s right to self-determination.
The head of the Polisario Front sent a letter to the UN Secretary-General this Sunday. Brahim Ghali defends the recent attacks against Moroccan bases in Smara, invoking the right to "self-defense".
Returning to the arrival in Spain in April 2021 of Brahim Ghali , the leader of the Polisario, which had triggered a serious diplomatic crisis with Morocco, the former Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha González Laya, stated that Spain had only welcomed a "Spanish citizen" who needed treatment against Covid-19.
The 2021 stay of Brahim Ghali , the leader of the Polisario Front, at the San Pedro de Logroño hospital in Spain cost the sum of 45,658 euros. An unpaid bill to this day, according to the authorities of La Rioja.
Brahim Ghali, leader of the Polisario, takes a dim view of the support the United Arab Emirates are providing to Morocco on several fronts, including military and economic.
Mohamed El Ouali Akeik, the highest military chief of the Polisario Front, is currently in the Basque Country in Spain to undergo medical treatment. Unlike the 2021 hospitalization in Spain of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Sahrawi independence movement, the stay of the military leader does not seem to irritate Morocco.
President Pedro Sanchez dismissed former Foreign Minister Arancha Gonzales Laya a week after Moroccan authorities requested it on July 2, 2021. The diplomat was seen by the kingdom as responsible for the entry into Spain of Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, under a false identity.
The leader of the Polisario Front, Brahim Ghali, seized the occasion of the opening of the movement’s congress to denounce "once again the illegal decision of Pedro Sanchez to support the Moroccan autonomy plan" for the Sahara, forgetting his welcome in Spain in April 2021 to be treated for Covid-19.
Abdelilah Benkirane, former head of government and secretary general of the Justice and Development Party (PJD), confides that King Mohammed VI has always asked him to help Tunisia, which today is the source of a diplomatic crisis between the two countries following the invitation of Polisario leader Brahim Ghali to Tunis .
The Polisario Front believes that Spain’s decision to support Morocco’s autonomy plan for the Sahara "complicates everything," in the sense that it does not contribute to a solution to the conflict.
