Four weeks before the 31st summit of the African Union, Brahim Ghali visits South Africa to better prepare for the regional gathering.
In May, the Polisario Front has been trying to boost its diplomatic ties with countries, backing its stance in Africa. After sending its «foreign Minister» to Zimbabwe, South Africa and Namibia, Brahim Ghali is on a visit to Windhoek.
The Tindouf camps are witnessing a new altercation between Brahim Ghali and his main opponent, Mohamed Lamine El Bouhali.
The Polisario front claims that responding to a letter sent by Brahim Ghali, the UN Secretary General is allegedly sharing the same opinion with the separatist movement on several topics. Meanwhile, Guterres’ spokesman denied the fact that said letter was answered by the UN top official.
After months of silence, the Polisario Front is again complaining about the Moroccan presence in the Guerguerate area. In a letter sent to the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Brahim Ghali, urged the organization to change the situation in the buffer zone. However, the Polisario Front claimed in the past that it has scored a much-publicized victory regarding the same issue.
