23 questions for Algeria's political leaders and those who think the situation is under control

In June 2023, I posed 23 direct questions to Algerian political leaders and those who believe the situation is under control. Our nation stands at a critical crossroads, and it is imperative that our political officials take full responsibility for the decisions they make.

The experience of governance under President Bouteflika has shown us the dangers of accountability lapses. Today, the situation is alarming and requires immediate action.



I would like to clarify that our goal is not to sow discord or call for protests. We are aware of the significant challenges facing our country, especially with the approaching elections in September 2024. Our aim is to urge the president's team to wake up and take responsibility for the concerns raised through our 23 questions.

We call on all citizens who care about the future of our nation to join us in demanding transparency and accountability from our leaders. Together, we can build a better future for Algeria.

1. Can the movements of 1.2 million Moroccans in Algeria be monitored?
2. Why doesn't the state require visas for Moroccans?
3. Why does the state tolerate illegal employment of Moroccans in Algeria: no taxes paid, no social security contributions paid, and a lot of hard currency leaving Algeria?
4. Who ensures us that Moroccans in Algeria do not communicate with Mossad for spying on Algeria?
5. How can we say that the Moroccan people are brothers while they believe that Bechar and Tindouf are Moroccan territories?
6. Does Morocco exploit its citizens in Algeria to implement its Machiavellian schemes against us?
7. Morocco does not pay its bills, with unpaid arrears amounting to several billion dollars. Why doesn't Algeria terminate the electricity contract?
8. What is the benefit of closing borders while facilitating the entry of Moroccans into national territory?
9. Why was the gas pipeline suspended while electricity supply to Morocco continues at a highly competitive price?
10. Morocco aided terrorists during the Black Decade. Why has Algeria never retaliated?
11. Why doesn't Algeria arm the Polisario?
12. Why doesn't Algeria declare the border area with Morocco a military zone?
13. Why does Algeria continue to work with foreign companies investing in Morocco, considering Algeria only as a market?
14. Why doesn't Algeria bomb Indian hemp fields in Morocco?
15. Why does Algeria allow Moroccan intelligence to operate freely in the coastal and desert regions?
16. Morocco has established the Al Magharibia channel, which works to destabilize Algeria. What is the Algerian state's response to this hostile action?
17. Morocco intervenes in Algerian domestic politics, such as during the Hirak. Where is the Algerian state's response?
18. Who froze the giant El Hamdania port project?
19. What is Algeria's strategy in the Sahel and the Sahara?
20. Why doesn't Algeria deploy its armed forces beyond its borders to defend its vital interests?
21. Why doesn't Algeria make Tamanrasset a regional development center?
22. Why doesn't Algeria pay Mauritania to sign a defense agreement securing the Tindouf-Zouerate route?
23. Why doesn't Algeria impose an air embargo on Western Sahara to support the Polisario?

These questions reflect serious concerns and require deep consideration from our leaders to ensure a stable and prosperous future for Algeria.

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...

Morocco’s Obsession with the Algerian President: Between Fascination and Diversion

While the Algerian president has taken a summer break, logically suspending his official activities, an unusual stir can be observed on the other side of the border. Many Moroccans, amplified by countless live streams and comments on social media, are eager to know: “Where is the Algerian president?” A question that might seem trivial at first glance, but in reality reveals deep political and psychological dynamics. A Revealing Paradox What stands out first is the paradox. The King of Morocco himself is often absent—whether for health reasons or extended vacations abroad—to the point that his prolonged absences have become a constant feature of Moroccan political life. Yet, despite this, the attention of many Moroccans is not focused on the management of their own internal affairs, but rather on the presence or absence of Algeria’s head of state. At the same time, Morocco is grappling with multiple crises: economic, with mounting debt; social, with poverty affecting millions of citizen...
