The leader of the separatist Polisario Front, Ibrahim Ghali, returned to the Tindouf camps on Saturday, more than 5 months after he left for Spain through Algeria.

Ghali was hospitalized at Logrono hospital in Spain early in May due to Covid-19 complications.

Sources close to Ghali in Algiers told Efe news agency that the Polisario head was scheduled to land at Tindouf airport on Saturday, but landed at Houari Boumediene airport instead before heading to the camps.

Ghali left Tindouf for Algiers last April due to Covid-19 complications before he left for Spain using fake documentation.

The incident triggered a severe diplomatic rift between Rabat and Madrid.
