The welcome of the Polisario leader Brahim Ghali at the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) which ended this Sunday, August 28 in Tunis continues to provoke reactions. Moncef Marzouki, former Tunisian president, denounces the attitude of the current Tunisian leader Kaïs Saïed, and expresses his support for Morocco.
The invitation of the Polisario leader Brahim Ghali to the Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD) taking place on August 27 and 28 in Tunis is not to the liking of Samia Zouari, former Tunisian ambassador to Athens. She deplores "a cold shower that has hit us like a sledgehammer with this serious diplomatic incident with our brother Morocco".
The day after Tunisia’s invitation of the Polisario leader, Brahim Ghali, the National Rally of Independents (RNI) reacted, condemning the "immature and hostile" approach of Tunisian President Kaïs Saïed.
The rapprochement between Algeria and Tunisia is being confirmed. After the invitation by the country of Kaïs Saïed of the Polisario leader, Brahim Ghali, Morocco has decided to recall its ambassador to Tunisia.
Polisario leader El Bachir Mustapha Sayed holds Brahim Ghali and Algeria responsible for the failure of the separatist movement in the "war" against Morocco.
The judge of the National High Court, Santiago Pedraz, has extended the investigation against the Polisario Front leader, Brahim Ghali, accused of torture by the Spanish Sahrawi activist, Fadel Breica, by six months.
Judge Santiago Pedraz in charge of the Ghali case at the National High Court has rejected the defense’s request of the Polisario Front leader to take into account the two reports from the National Intelligence Center (CNI) that would prove the "fallacious" nature of the torture complaint by Fadel Breica against Brahim Ghali.
The prosecution of the National High Court does not wish the National Intelligence Center (CNI) to transmit to the court a copy of the confidential reports on Morocco and Brahim Ghali, as requested by the defense of the Polisario Front leader.
Brahim Ghali’s lawyer, Manuel Ollé, has asked the National High Court to provide him with the two reports from the Spanish intelligence services (CNI) from May and June 2021, in which it is allegedly indicated that the complaints filed against the Sahrawi leader for alleged crimes of torture and kidnapping come from Moroccan intelligence services.
The judicial investigation into the Ghali affair will remain open for at least another six months. This is the decision of the investigating judge of the Saragossa court, Rafael Lasala, after the provisional dismissal pronounced with regard to the former minister, Arancha González Laya.
Swept away last July by the Ghali affair which provoked a serious diplomatic crisis with Morocco, the former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Arancha Gonzales Laya, mentions "telephone tappings, complaints, campaigns, including press campaigns" which have "served to blur this humanitarian aid" provided to the Polisario leader, Brahim Ghali.
The Spanish justice system has "closed" the case Brahim Ghali , the head of the Polisario, who entered Spain on April 18, 2021, under a false identity bearing the name Mohamed Ben Battouche. A case that had strained diplomatic relations between Rabat and Madrid.
