Tebboune’s Algeria, four years of conspiracy theories
The civilian facet of the Algerian military regime, president Abdelmadjid Tebboune, has excessively deployed conspiracy theories, reflecting the state of an Algerian diplomacy, economy, and social peace in disarray.
During his multiple interviews, Tebboune has evoked conspiracy theories to justify his country’s failure to meet the aspirations of the Algerian people to diplomatic aura and to social and economic development.
In the latest episode of Algeria’s conspiracy drama, Algerian radio said Morocco and the UAE have joined forces to undermine Algeria’s image in Mali and Niger!
The self-inflicted diplomatic demise of Algiers in the Sahel is now easily blamed on all-powerful Morocco, whom Algeria previously blamed for weakening Algeria diplomatically and economically, going as far as blaming Rabat for climate change-related issues such as wildfires.
The report on the Algerian radio is part of a diatribe campaign launched by the military regime after Rabat and Abu Dhabi fostered their strategic partnership with deals at all economic fields.
The Algerian radio is saying that Algerians should brace for tough time in the Shael as the Algerian diplomacy takes the backseat, partly because it is perceived by Sahel states as incredible and a self-serving nation who only cares about keeping the insurgent threat far away from its borders.
The Algerian media, whose strings are pulled by men in uniform, has indulged in conspiracy theories that plagued sports analysts. Ennahar TV, for example, said Morocco’s inroads in African football were all thanks to drug money! Few days later, FIFA published a report on Morocco’s football miracle, citing the decade-long hard work and investments in infrastructure and in the younger generation.
As he prepares to run for the next elections without any tangible achievements to offer, Tebboune is expected to scale up his conspiracy theories, hitting new lows again in a country where the youth queues for milk and other basic foodstuff.
