A Moroccan prisoner of war (POW), released last October from the prison of Polisario movement, has recently married his fiancée who waited him during the 24 years of his detention.
According to MAP, Abderrahim and Bahia celebrated their engagement in 1979 shortly before he was sent on duty to the Moroccan southern provinces, the Sahara, where he was captured during the war before being imprisoned in Tindouf (southwestern Algeria) by this movement.
After six years of detention, Bahia received the first letter from Abderrahim via the Red Cross, to inform her he was still alive.
Abderrahman was amongst a group of 300 POWs who were recently released after a mediation of Libyan president, colonel Muammar Gaddhafi.
