ALGERIAN PATRIOTS - ENGLISH

Bouteflika has methodically organized and steered the total destruction of Algeria's competent and valuable political class, in order to lock up the political game.  We have noted, with much regret, a deterioration in the quality of policies and the dignity of political practice. We have also witnessed the advent of several phenomena such as :   1. Decline in the quality of political players The emergence of unqualified, opportunistic or ill-intentioned politicians. Instead of serving the general interest, these players are often motivated by personal or financial interests, or by the quest for power. 2. Populism and demagoguery The rise of populism is another aspect of this deterioration. Populist politicians exploit citizens' fears and frustrations by promising simplistic solutions to complex problems, often based on emotional rhetoric rather than facts and rigorous analysis. 3. Weakening of democratic institutions The hobgoblinization of politics is also reflected in t...

In a desperate attempt to soften Algerian public opinion, Benkirane chose social networks to address Algerians. He used religious “arguments” to call for reconciliation and union between Morocco and Algeria, in order to face together the geostrategic challenges facing our region, particularly since Russia's war against NATO in Ukraine. Benkirane's message was neither sincere nor serious, since it never referred to the real causes of the crisis between Algeria and Morocco. As usual, Morocco posed as the victim of an Algerian regime that was “immature” and had an unjustified hatred of Morocco. Benkirane has also repeatedly disrespected the Algerian people, portraying them as eternally vassals of foreign powers (France and Turkey), in contrast to Morocco's age-old empire. As long as Morocco continues with this unjustified arrogance and lack of respect towards Algeria and its people, there will be no prospect of reconciliation on the horizon, because the prerequisite for any re...

On the sidelines of the President of the Republic's trip to the city of Sidi Abdellah, in order to inaugurate new university centers on the occasion of Student Day, Senator Abdelouahab Benzaïm declared: “The Moroccans who come have two caps: Israeli and Moroccan”. Benzaïm is the first Algerian political leader to mention the need to impose a visa on Moroccan nationals for security considerations. Abdelouahab Benzaïm talks about the many Israelis who can now travel to Morocco. “An Israeli cannot obtain a visa to enter Algeria, but if he requests it on behalf of Morocco, he could obtain it,” he clarified. While adding that “all those who return to Algeria from Morocco must be mentioned in a red box”, because according to him, “the Moroccans who come wear two hats: Israeli and Moroccan”. The request from Senator Abdelouahab Benzaïm indeed seems coherent and legitimate, but what seems more urgent to us than the visa request is the immediate expulsion of illegal Moroccans in Algeria. In...

The media war between Morocco and Algeria has just reached its climax, following the latest outing by MEDI1TV, which has been summoned by the Moroccan regime to serve the Moroccan people with an argument, in order to keep the Moroccan people in ignorance and above all in the belief that Algeria is a backward country that produces nothing and imports everything. In a MEDI1TV broadcast, the Moroccan TV channel falsely accused Algerian TV of using artificial intelligence to create a “propaganda” video about the wheat harvest in the Algerian Sahara.  Very quickly, we saw on social networks dozens of videos of citizens filming the same sequence from several angles, which made it possible to affirm with certainty that the Moroccan allegations were false. Despite this irrefutable evidence, MEDI1TV did not see fit to apologize or correct the fake news broadcast. The informed observer was not surprised by this umpteenth piece of fake news about Algeria in the Moroccan media. Morocco's aim i...
