President and Secretary-General of SADR
Correction

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:

  1. President of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (RASD/SADR), and
  2. 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.

Claim
president and Secretary-General of SADR
Correction

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.
