Did the Axis use Villa Cisneros during WW2 for contact with South America?

The link you offer right up front says LATI ceased operations to South America in December 1941:
"LATI (Linee Aeree Transcontinentali Italiane) LATI began service to South America in December 1939 and ceased operations in December 1941."
Actually LATI was banned from operating by the Brazilians on 27 December 1941.
Also, one might note that in July 1941 the USN was operating out of the port of Recife and by mid-1943 was operating patrol aircraft from a naval air station at Ibura Field near Recife. Probably would have cramped LATI's operations after the Italians declared war on the US. Additional bases were at Santa Cruz, Sao Luis, and Parnamirim, so access from the east was fairly well covered.
