Polisario urges Mauritania to «work together against shared threats»
The leader of the Polisario Front has called on the Mauritanian president to «strengthen cooperation, consultation, and coordination to confront the risks and challenges facing our region». In a message of congratulations sent on the occasion of Eid al-Adha to Mohamed Ould Cheikh El Ghazouani, Brahim Ghali suggested that such cooperation could help «our two peoples, and the peoples of the region, live in peace, security, stability, and good neighborliness». Ghali also emphasized «the shared destiny that binds the Sahrawi people to their brothers in the Islamic Republic of Mauritania». Relations between the Polisario and Nouakchott have remained cold, if not outright frozen, largely due to the Mauritanian army's decision to close the Lebriga region, a corridor previously used by Polisario fighters to launch attacks against Morocco. Brahim Ghali is known for leveraging religious, national, and even partisan occasions to appeal to heads of state and prime ministers. Examples include his message to Keir Starmer following the British Labour Party's victory in the snap elections on July 4, 2024, and his letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin dated May 7.
