President and Secretary-General of SADR
This mixes up two different offices. Ghali was elected President of the SADR and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, not Secretary-General of the SADR.
Full reasoning
The phrase "President and Secretary-General of SADR" is institutionally incorrect.
Sources describing Ghali's 2016 election consistently state that he became:
- President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (RASD/SADR), and
- Secretary-General of the Polisario Front.
For example:
- Radio Algérienne reported that he was elected "secrétaire général du Front et président de la RASD".
- Granma likewise says he was elected "Secretario General del Frente Polisario y Presidente de la RASD".
- The official Sahara Press Service still identifies him as "The President of the Republic, Secretary-General of the Polisario Front".
So the article's wording is wrong because it assigns the secretary-general role to the SADR, instead of to the Polisario Front.

president and Secretary-General of SADR
This again assigns the wrong institution to the secretary-general role. Ghali was re-elected President of the SADR and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front.
Full reasoning
This phrase repeats the same institutional error found earlier in the article.
When Ghali was re-elected in 2023, sources describe him as:
- President of the Sahrawi Republic / SADR, and
- Secretary-General of the Polisario Front.
The secretary-general title belongs to the Polisario Front, not to the SADR itself. Official SPS reporting consistently uses the formula "President of the Republic and Secretary-General of the Polisario Front". The article's wording is therefore inaccurate because it calls him Secretary-General of SADR.
