MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Rabat demands "satisfactory and convincing answer" from the Spanish government concerning its decision to allow Brahim Ghali, leader of the pro-independence Polisario Front in Western Sahara, to receive COVID-19 treatment on its territory, Efe news agency reported on Saturday citing Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
On April 20, Spanish Foreign Ministry and the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, the self-declared government led by Ghali, announced that the 73-year-old separatist chief was recovering from COVID-19 in a Spanish hospital. The African media speculated that Ghali, who had been previously investigated by Spain for crimes of genocide and terrorism, was hospitalized under a false identity.
