At the origin of the problem between Algeria and Morocco. Why Algeria and Morocco cannot live together?

Since 1975 (the year of Moroccan colonization of Western Sahara), Morocco has spent billions of dollars on lobbying, public relations and bribing foreign politicians to spread its lies about Western Sahara. Morocco's objective has always been to give the colonization of Western Sahara a regional character: to deny the existence of the Sahrawi people and to make the international community believe that Algeria has expansionist designs on Western Sahara, and that the conflict there is a regional conflict between Algeria and Morocco. So much so that the Moroccan media systematically associate the problems between Algeria and Morocco with the Western Sahara issue, as if there were no problems between Morocco and Algeria before 1975?

The reality is quite different, the only problem between Algeria and Morocco is its policy in the region. This expansionist policy has its origins in the concept of Greater Morocco, developed by the laboratories of the SDEC (French secret service - former name of the DGSE) between 1950 and 1960. The aim was for France to poison relations between the states of North Africa, in order to make any regional integration impossible, and consequently to establish French domination in the region. The agent of the SDEC who was in charge of implementing this Machiavellian plan was Horma Ould Babana, an executive of the Istiqlal party and former deputy of Mauritania, who declared that the southern limit of Morocco was in Saint-Louis, Senegal, and that the present Morocco represented only one fifth of what would be the great Morocco.

In this article, we will not address the historical relevance of this concept of Greater Morocco. However, we can say with certainty that it is factually inaccurate to associate the Almoravid empire with present-day Morocco, because this empire originated in the Western Sahara (Sanhadjas tribe of Algerian origin). It is the same for the Almohad empire which is a Zenet empire (Algerian tribe).

Morocco, which complains about the closure of the borders and the tension that reigns between the Moroccan and Algerian peoples, would do better to question itself. It is the only one responsible for this situation. Indeed, when one builds one's national novel on an expansionist myth, and adapts school textbooks accordingly. It is quite normal to create generations of Moroccans who believe that Algeria occupies Moroccan territories.  This belief generates a hatred that we unfortunately see every day in social networks.

In conclusion, as long as Morocco continues to spread these messages of hatred, the tension will continue to grow and increase.

The Fall of the Rafale: A Russian Report Unveils Pakistan’s Silent Aerial Supremacy

A recently released Russian report sheds critical light on the underlying causes of the Indian Air Force’s setback in a high-stakes aerial encounter with Pakistan. At the heart of this analysis lies a stark conclusion: Pakistan’s integration of advanced airborne surveillance and missile systems—particularly the Saab 2000 Erieye—enabled it to outmaneuver and ambush Indian Rafale jets without warning, and with surgical precision. Saab 2000 Erieye: The Eye That Sees All At the core of Pakistan’s aerial strategy is the Saab 2000 Erieye, an airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft of Swedish origin. Pakistan currently operates a fleet of nine such aircraft, equipped with the Erieye AESA radar—a cutting-edge system with a detection range of up to 450 kilometers, a combat radius of 3,700 kilometers, and an endurance of nearly 9.5 hours. This high-altitude sentinel offers a formidable command-and-control platform, allowing Pakistan to orchestrate engagements from a distance, wit...

Origin of the Caftan: Algeria Responds in the Language of Heritage

Avoiding direct polemics or loud declarations, Algeria has opted for heritage diplomacy and UNESCO procedure to respond—indirectly—to Moroccan claims over the origin of the caftan. At the 20th session of the Intergovernmental Committee for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (New Delhi, 8–13 December), Algiers emphasized confirmations and updates to elements inscribed since 2012, reinforcing its reading: the caftan is an authentic element of Algerian cultural identity, recognized within UNESCO’s framework. A Procedural Argument Elevated to Cultural Diplomacy In a statement published on 11 December via official channels, the Ministry of Culture and the Arts hailed “a new victory” for Algerian cultural diplomacy . Without departing from institutional sobriety, its communication stressed two core points: Inscription precedents : According to Algiers, the caftan appears in national files recorded since 2012, notably within the recognition of Tlemcen’s traditional herit...

Madrid, February 2026: A negotiating sequence that further complicates Rabat’s hand

The consultations held in Madrid on the Western Sahara dossier—under direct U.S. stewardship—signal a qualitative shift in how the file is being managed: Washington is increasingly setting the pace while the United Nations recedes to an observer role, according to convergent coverage from Spanish, regional, and international outlets.  1) An unprecedented framework: Washington “leads,” the UN observes Multiple reputable outlets report that on February 8, 2026 , a closed‑door meeting took place inside the U.S. Embassy in Madrid, gathering four high‑level delegations—Morocco, Algeria, Mauritania, and the Polisario Front—with UN envoy Staffan de Mistura present more as an observer than as the driver, while U.S. officials Massad Boulos (special representative for Africa) and Michael Waltz (U.S. ambassador to the UN) ran point. The Madrid session followed a first, secret 48‑hour contact in Washington roughly two weeks earlier—an unmistakable sign that the U.S. has moved from “facilitator...
