African Union: Algeria Triumphs, Morocco Stumbles… and Whines!

Ah, Morocco… A country that has spent so much time looking at itself in a distorted mirror that it actually started believing it weighs more than a grain of couscous in African geopolitics. Unfortunately for Rabat, reality is stubborn, and the recent elections within the African Union (AU) delivered a brutal wake-up call, bringing the kingdom back to its true size: that of a minor player in a continent where Algeria asserts itself as a heavyweight. A Diplomatic Earthquake… and a Nervous Breakdown in Rabat Morocco’s crushing defeats in the race for the AU Commission presidency and the Peace and Security Council have triggered a political earthquake within the kingdom. The confusion has reached such absurd levels that a pro-regime media outlet went as far as announcing King Mohammed VI’s death—before swiftly retracting the news under pressure from intelligence services! We knew the king had been missing for weeks, but declaring him "out of service" that fast? That alone speaks ...

Diplomatic Defeat for Morocco at the African Union: A Shameful Concealment of a Crushing Failure Against Algeria

Morocco has just experienced a significant setback within the African Union (AU), yet a palpable unease surrounds this diplomatic episode. Why this clumsy attempt to conceal a fact known to all? In the election for a seat on the AU's Peace and Security Council (PSC), Morocco was soundly defeated by Algeria, which secured 30 votes compared to only 17 for the Cherifian Kingdom. A Diplomatic Blow Dealt by Algeria Despite sustained efforts and an expensive diplomatic campaign, Morocco faced a massive rejection. The sixth round of voting was decisive: Algeria, backed by its historical commitment and influence in Africa, won hands down.

Far from being a driving force for unity and progress in Africa, Morocco has focused its efforts on one obsession: countering Algeria.
