The Polisario Front has appointed a new «ambassador» to Algeria. Brahim Ghali chose Khatri Adouh, one of his closest allies, for this important role. Until Saturday, May 24, Adouh served as the «Minister of Education». This change is part of a political reshuffle, as he is replaced by Abdelkader Taleb Omar, who was previously the Polisario's representative in Algiers. Adouh, a member of the separatist movement's old guard, led the Front's delegations at the two Geneva round-table talks held in December 2018 and March 2019. These discussions, organized by Horst Köhler, the former UN Secretary-General's personal envoy for Western Sahara, involved Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Polisario. The new Polisario representative in Algiers met with Algerian Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf on Monday, May 26. It is worth noting that the Tindouf camps, where Polisario leaders reside, are located in Algeria. Leadership changes have become frequent recently, following several diplomatic and military setbacks. On April 4, the Polisario appointed a new «Minister of Foreign Affairs».
