The leader of the group fighting for independence in disputed Western Sahara departed Spain after his presence ignited the country’s most serious diplomatic and migration crisis with Morocco in two decades.
Polisario Front chief Brahim Ghali was set to fly out from a small airport in the northern city of Pamplona, Spain’s Foreign Ministry said late Tuesday, adding that Morocco had been informed. Spanish online newspaper elDiario.es reported he left on a plane bound for Algeria.
