A recent so-called “academic” meeting in Tindouf between senior Iranian officials and Polisario separatists has lifted the veil on the troubling reality of ties in the open between the Polisario, Iran, and Hezbollah forged in full connivance with Algeria. But can a drowning man save another from sinking? This question looms large as the Maghreb […]
The Algerian regime’s hypocrisy has been exposed worldwide. Its fancy rhetoric of heroic battles against colonialism, over-inflated exceptionalism, and propaganda for Palestinian cause are just empty words. No more than political manipulations used to serve their own agenda. Algeria, which arms, funds and shelters the Polisario separatist group threatening Morocco’s stability, has voted lately at […]
The government of Mauritania has refused a request from the Algeria-backed Polisario militias to establish a consulate or embassy in Nouakchott, dealing another hard blow to the separatist group and its Algerian supporters, according to press reports. Mauritania, which adopts a neutral position regarding the Sahara regional conflict, has always been cautious in its ties […]
On November 6, the Polisario Front once again claimed to have launched attacks on Moroccan troops along the berm in the Sahara territory.

The US-sponsored resolution passed with 11 votes in favour, while Russia, China and Pakistan abstained and Algeria, which supports the independence-seeking nationalist […]
As the United Nations Security Council prepared to vote on a pivotal resolution endorsing Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, Algeria launched a last-minute diplomatic offensive to alter the language of the U.S.-drafted text. The resolution, which framed Morocco’s autonomy initiative as basis for negotiations was met with unprecedented activism by Algiers which proposed amendments […]
Algeria’s shaky regime grips Tunisia like a lifeline, preferring a compliant neighbour to a competitive one; it now treats the country as a de facto wilaya and backs Kaïs Saïed’s tenure to keep Tunis under its influence, says the NY-based Geopolitics magazine. Algeria is locked in an archaic rent-seeking system nurtured by anti-Moroccan nationalism. It […]
