Narrative:

I sat in the observers seat behind the captain on left side of the aircraft for taxi; T/O; and climb to cruise for this flight. All was normal for these phases. I was assigned to be relief first officer on the return flight. I spent most of this flight in rest. Again I occupied the observers seat for the descent; approach; and landing. I arrived in the cockpit approximately 15 minutes before the descent. All appeared to normal. During the approach briefing there was concern expressed to a couple of facts. One; runway xx was in use due to the weather had changed and blowing sand was now happening reducing visibility; and two; concern to stay out of [foreign] airspace 15 [nm] to the east. The current visibility was such to where the airport could be and was acquired visually. The blowing dust was not as bad as reported. I saw the airport at 7 DME from the end of the runway. As did the pilot monitoring; and the pilot observer in the center seat. All appeared to be normal until about a 3 mile final. I ask the observer in the center seat; does it look like he (the captain; pilot flying) is lined up with the runway? No. We agreed. I immediately said 'captain you need to turn right and line up with the runway.' to my dismay he said; 'I can't see the runway.' I immediately told the pilot monitoring take the airplane and turn right to the runway and land. 1.5 mile final. Both the other observer and myself said loudly go-around. The captain then corrected the airplane saying 'I have it; I have it; I have it' and successfully landed the airplane. Then taxied to the parking stand without further ado.
