Madrid: Polisario Front leader Brahim Ghali, who has been receiving treatment in a Spanish hospital for more than a month, has left the hospital and is returning to Algeria “safe and sound”, Polisario Front’s spokesman Jalil Mohamed said late on Tuesday.

Ghali has already left Spain, taking a flight from the airport of Pamplona, El Pais newspaper reported.

The admittance in April of the Western Sahara independence movement leader in the northern city of Logrono triggered a diplomatic row with Morocco. Western Sahara is Morrocan territory.
