Water, new episode in Algeria’s victim playing

Water has been added to Algeria’s media circus, in yet a new episode of uncorroborated accusations against Morocco, as Algerian officials and media accuse their western neighbor of engaging in a “water war”.

At the heart of the new Algerian victim hood propaganda is the small kadoussa dam built on the seasonal river Oued Guir near the borders with Algeria.

Algerians accuse Morocco of building a dam that reduced the water flow to another dam that they built to supply the city of Bechar.

Algeria’s water minister has been citing the dam as evidence of what he called “an act to dry the Bechar dam”.

Last week, an Algerian propagandist on France 24 repeated the same accusations, calling on Morocco to negotiate shared rivers.

These voices calling on Morocco to negotiate are coming from mouthpieces of a regime that unilaterally cut ties with Morocco, imposed visa on Moroccans, banned all the Kingdom’s aircrafts from crossing its air space, cut the flow of gas, shot dead Moroccan tourists after being lost at sea, backs a separatist militia to attack Moroccan forces, and engages in daily warmongering.

Meanwhile, the same regime indulges in a victim hood putting forward uncorroborated accusations against a neighbor whose supreme leadership has been calling for normal ties for decades.

When Algeria built its dam in Bechar, had it consulted Morocco?
