After a delegation from the Front was received by the Irish President in Dublin, Brahim Ghali and two of the Polisario’s members flew to Iceland. In Reykjavik, the separatist movement’s leader was received by the Icelandic Prime Minister.
Brahim Ghali is planning to get «reelected» as leader of the Polisario. The committee in charge of preparing for the Front’s upcoming congress is composed of influential members from Ghali’s tribe, Rguibates.
In February 2017, a retired Algerian general played the role of a mediator between Brahim Ghali and Ould El Bouhali. Two years later, another Algerian general is tasked with the same mission.
In Addis Ababa, Brahim Ghali held talks with the Front’s classical allies on the sidelines of the African Union extraordinary session. Days later, officials from the Polisario said that they feel positive about the upcoming Geneva meeting.
