Mohamed Abdelaziz's son continues to rise within the Polisario leadership. Brahim Ghali has appointed him as head of the «reserve army», according to media based in the Tindouf camps on Saturday. Lahbib Mohamed Abdelaziz replaces Mohamed Lamine Ould El Bouhali, who initially established the unit in 2017, following his dismissal in January 2016 by Mohamed Abdelaziz from the «Ministry of Defense».
Since the 16th Congress held in January 2023 at the «Dakhla camp» in Algerian territory, Lahbib Abdelaziz has received multiple promotions. He now serves on the Front's General Secretariat with 27 others and holds a position on the influential Defense Committee that reports to this body.
In October 2013, Mohamed Abdelaziz appointed his son Lahbib as commander of a gendarmerie unit, considered the Polisario's elite forces, equipped with more resources than other militias.
