On March 23, 2026, in Shaheed El Hafed, a significant leadership transition took place within the Sahrawi People’s Liberation Army (SPLA) as Mr. Brahim Ghali, the President of the Republic, Secretary-General of the Polisario Front, and Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces, officially welcomed the newly appointed Chief of the General Staff, Hamma Salama. This meeting also included the outgoing Chief of Staff, Mohamed El-Wali Akeik, signaling a pivotal moment for the military institution.
The discussions during this meeting were centered around critical issues affecting the military organization and the strategic direction that Hamma Salama will undertake as he steps into his new role. With a presidential decree already in place, which outlined the changes within the military framework, the appointment of Hamma Salama marks a significant shift in leadership, aimed at enhancing the operational effectiveness of the SPLA.
This transition not only underscores the commitment of the Polisario leadership to adapt and evolve but also highlights the importance of continuity and strategic planning in achieving the goals of the Sahrawi people. As the new Chief of Staff, Hamma Salama is expected to bring fresh perspectives and renewed vigor to the military operations, paving the way for future developments within the armed forces.
