Algeria’s endorsement of separatism, a regional destabilizing act- Moroccan FM

Morocco has reiterated its condemnation of Algeria’s support for the separatist Polisario militia as a regional destabilization act.

“A Neighboring country continues to fuel separatism and to divert the resources of its people to fund regional destabilization acts,” Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita said via videoconference at the summit of the Non Aligned Movement contact group.

Bourita deplored Algeria’s hostility at this particular context in which Morocco is calling for further global cooperation to counter the pandemic.

“Instead of using its resources to improve the precarious conditions of its people at the context of Covid-19 pandemic, this country is diverting them to fuel regional destabilization,” he said in response to Algeria’s attacks on Morocco’s territorial integrity during the meeting.

As the noose tightens around the neck of the Algerian regime due to the collapse of oil prices, the Algerian President vowed in a populist comment not to seek foreign debt because that would undermine his country’s support for the Polisario separatists.
