Madrid satisfied with release of Sahrawi woman held captive in Tindouf

Madrid - The Spanish foreign affairs ministry voiced, on Wednesday, its satisfaction with the release of young Sahrawi woman Mahjouba Mohamed Hamdidaf, held captive since last summer in the camps of Tindouf (south-western Algeria).

A spokesperson of the Spanish ministry, quoted by "Europapress" news agency, said he was glad of the happy ending of this woman's story.

Mahjouba is currently in Algiers waiting to be brought home to Spain, said the news agency.

The young Sahrawi woman, who has been working for the London-based "Marie Curie Foundation Care" and intended to pursue her studies in the British capital, visited last summer the camps of Tindouf in order to see her biological parents.
