Algeria and Morocco: The Illusion of Mediation and the Strength of Sovereignty

Recently, American businessman Steve Witkoff claimed in an interview with 60 Minutes Overtime that he was working on a supposed “peace agreement” between Morocco and Algeria, suggesting that a deal could be reached within 60 days. Standing beside him, Jared Kushner—known for promoting the Israeli-Moroccan agenda—positions himself as a mediator. For Algeria, this initiative is nothing short of a complete illusion.

I. Morocco: A Weakened and Hostile Neighbor

Since independence, Morocco has consistently adopted a hostile and opportunistic stance toward Algeria:

  • The Sand War in 1963,
  • The unilateral severance of the Maghreb-Europe Gas Pipeline,
  • Interference in Algerian internal affairs, including support for terrorist groups.

Today, Algeria’s strategy of isolating Morocco is beginning to bear fruit. The kingdom faces an unprecedented social crisis, soaring public debt, and an economy on the brink of collapse. In such conditions, Algeria has no interest in engaging in dialogue or mediation that would solely benefit Rabat and its foreign allies.

II. Zionist Puppets and Their Delusions

Witkoff and Kushner may speak of 60-day negotiations, but their ambitions serve Israeli-Moroccan interests—not Algeria’s.

These so-called mediators:

  • Ignore the historical and geopolitical realities of the region,
  • Underestimate the vigilance and strategic depth of the Algerian state,
  • Attempt to impose a timeline that disregards Algeria’s sovereignty and priorities.

Algeria has never been, is not, and will never be party to a bilateral agreement crafted in the salons of Tel Aviv or New York. Its diplomacy is guided by state reason and respect for international principles.

III. The Sahrawi Issue: A Matter of Peoples’ Rights, Not Bilateral Bargaining

Western Sahara is not an Algerian-Moroccan dispute. It is a non-self-governing territory listed by the UN, whose people await the opportunity to exercise their right to self-determination.

Algeria supports the Polisario Front and calls for a free and fair referendum under international supervision. No foreign-imposed timeline can override this fundamental principle.

IV. Why Algeria Has No Interest in Restoring Dialogue with Rabat

Morocco is currently:

  • Economically weakened, with rising public debt and a fragile economy,
  • Socially unstable, facing massive internal tensions,
  • Dependent on external support, unable to pursue its ambitions without foreign intermediaries.

Faced with a morally, economically, and politically bankrupt neighbor, Algeria has every reason to maintain a firm stance. Restoring diplomatic relations would be a needless and dangerous concession, legitimizing a regime that refuses to respect Algerian sovereignty.

V. A Coordinated Influence Operation Disguised as Mediation

Witkoff’s statement is part of a broader influence operation orchestrated by the U.S., France, and the U.K. at the UN Security Council. These powers aim to:

  • Legitimize the occupation of Western Sahara,
  • Reframe the Sahrawi issue as a mere Algerian-Moroccan dispute,
  • Offer the Sahrawi people a diluted form of autonomy without their consent.

France, the intellectual and material architect of the “Moroccan autonomy plan,” is actively working to make it readable—modeled after New Caledonia. The U.K., once a defender of self-determination, is now caught in its own contradictions. Gibraltar, a historically Spanish territory listed by the UN since 1946, should logically benefit from this shift in British doctrine.

Meanwhile, the U.S. is deploying its full weight to present the Sahrawi issue as a bargaining chip in Algerian-Moroccan normalization. It seeks to stabilize its Moroccan ally, offer the Polisario a fragmented autonomy, and counter growing Russian and Chinese influence in Africa—especially in the Sahel, a region marked by instability and terrorist threats.

VI. Conclusion: Algeria Stands Sovereign and Resolute

Algeria does not trade its sovereignty—nor that of other peoples. It possesses:

  • A strong and capable army,
  • A committed youth,
  • A strategic diplomatic vision,
  • An uncontested sovereignty.

Foreign mediators and their illusions cannot obscure the truth: without direct, unconditional negotiations under UN auspices between Morocco and the Polisario Front, there can be no just, lasting, or definitive solution to the Sahrawi question.

History sides with dignified nations—not with failing feudal regimes and the Zionist puppets that support them.

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...
