Following border closures, Polisario sends delegation to Mauritania
«A few hours after the phone conversation between Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his Mauritanian counterpart Mohamed Ould El Ghazouani, a Polisario delegation was swiftly dispatched to Nouakchott», a well-informed source told Yabiladi. «The members of this delegation landed last night at Algiers Airport. Led by Sahrawi Parliament President Hamma Salama, accompanied by a military commander, the mission's goal is to persuade Mauritanian authorities to reverse their decision prohibiting Polisario members from illegally entering Mauritania to carry out armed attacks against Morocco, particularly from the Lebriga region near the Algerian border», the source added. Last week, the Mauritanian army declared the Lebriga area «off-limits to civilians», followed by a troop deployment along the border with Algeria. On Tuesday, May 27, Mauritanian soldiers reportedly blocked Polisario members attempting to cross into the zone, forcing them to turn back towards the Tindouf camps. The Polisario delegation is hoping to secure an audience with the Mauritanian president. In Nouakchott, they also plan to meet with political party representatives and the President of the Mauritanian Parliament, who has family ties with his Polisario counterpart. It's worth noting that following a phone call from Abdelmadjid Tebboune, President Ould El Ghazouani agreed to invite Brahim Ghali to his inauguration ceremony, scheduled for August 1, 2024, marking the start of his second term.
