ALGERIAN PATRIOTS - ENGLISH

The recent declassification of a CIA document dated August 23, 1957, sheds new light on French intentions regarding oil fields in Algeria and plans for post-independence Algeria. This document provides valuable details on French economic and political strategies, as well as the geopolitical dynamics of the era. French Intentions for the Algerian Sahara According to the document, France intended to retain the Algerian Sahara at all costs, planning to divide it into two separate departments. This decision reflects the strategic importance of this resource-rich region for France. The Sahara, with its vast oil and gas reserves, represented a major economic stake. Infrastructure Strategy and Cooperation with Spain France did not plan to build pipelines to the north of Algeria to avoid any energy dependence on an independent Algeria. Instead, discussions were underway with Spain to evacuate oil and gas via Western Sahara, then under Spanish control. The Spanish authorities, enthusiastic abou...

  After the imaginary Nigeria-Morocco gas pipeline project , Morocco recently embarked on a new pipe dream entitled: access for Sahelian countries to the Atlantic Ocean. The only thing serious about these projects, whose feasibility and financing are still unclear, are the Pharaonic means of communication used by Morocco to hammer home its fallacious and intellectually dishonest messages.  We should also note the diplomatic efforts made by the Moroccans to organize colloquia in Marrakech with African leaders of dubious morality and mediocre intellectual level, in order to present a project with vague outlines and objectives.  We can legitimately wonder why the foreign ministers of the Sahel countries decided to travel to Marrakech, as the project to give the Sahel countries access to the Atlantic is far from being an easily achievable project, as it faces a number of geopolitical, geostrategic and financial challenges: Was Mauritania consulted (it did not take part in the...

  As a North African country, Algeria is geographically close to a number of drug trafficking hotspots, notably the Sahel and Maghreb regions. Although Algeria is not often considered a major drug trafficking hub on a global scale, it is not immune to the challenges associated with the illicit circulation of narcotic substances. Some of the factors contributing to drug trafficking in Algeria could include geographical proximity to producer countries or transit zones, economic problems, poverty, and possible loopholes in security arrangements. The Algerian authorities have put in place measures to combat this phenomenon, by reinforcing border controls, collaborating with international organizations and strengthening the capabilities of their security forces. It is important to note that the fight against drug trafficking is a global challenge, and every country must work closely with the international community to tackle this complex problem.  Impact of Morocco's drug trade on ...

The Moroccan monarchy's natural propensity for treachery is nothing new, as evidenced by an article in the New York Times in February 1873, which stated that Emir Abdelkader's defeat was "not due to the prowess of French arms", but to the treachery he suffered at the hands of the Moroccan sultan, Abderrahmane, who allied himself with France to encircle him.  The purpose of this article is not to enumerate the long list of Moroccan betrayals, which began with Bocchus' betrayal of King Jugurtha, via the betrayal of Emir Abdelkader, to the role of Moroccans in the May 8, 1945 massacres in Setif, Guelma and Kherrata, not forgetting the FLN plane that was hijacked on October 22, 1956, or the shameful use of the Algerian revolution by Sultan Mohamed V to put pressure on France to gain advantages for Morocco. All the betrayals mentioned above are not taught to Algerian children in Algerian schools, because Algerian leaders wanted to preserve a brotherhood that never exis...

Since Morocco's interdependence in 1956 (cf. the La Celle-Saint-Cloud interdependence agreements of November 6, 1955, *), Hassan II has constructed a Moroccan national narrative out of odds and ends, by appropriating the history of the region's peoples. According to this Moroccan national novel, Morocco is an empire spanning more than 12 centuries, dating back to 789. The problem with this national narrative is that it's not coherent, because there's no continuity between the different states or dynasties that have succeeded one another, and even worse: all these states were created by foreigners who have no connection with Morocco: Youssef Ibn Tachfine's Almoravids arrived from Mauritania. The Almohads of Abdelmoumen, who are Algerian Zenets. The Marinids and Wattassids were also Algerian Zenets. The Saadians and Alawites came from Saudi Arabia. Moreover, it's surprising to hear talk of an empire when we know that the authority of the Alaouite sultans did not e...

Since Algeria's independence, we've always been more royalist than the king, sometimes to the detriment of our nation's supreme interests. Algeria has been at the forefront of all the Arab nation's battles (taking part in all the Arab-Israeli wars since 1967), and this overzealousness even led us to break off diplomatic relations with the United States in 1967 in protest at the Americans' unconditional support for the Israelis. We can say with certainty that Algeria's radical stance on the Palestinian question has been the source of all our problems since December 2, 1977. Indeed, following the Camp David Accords, Algeria and sister Libya initiated the creation of the Front de la Resistance (Resistance Front) in the face of Egypt's normalization with the Zionist entity: Libya, Syria, Iraq, Palestine, and the People's Republic of Yemen. This front ceased to exist after the start of the Iran-Iraq war on September 22, 1980, which was encouraged by the Unite...

In a recent development, several fake news items have emerged, involving a mysterious independence movement in southern Algeria (MLSA - mouvement de libération du sud de l'Algérie), which claims to be operating in Algeria and even announces that it has killed sixteen Algerian soldiers and several other mercenaries from the Wagner group in several operations between the localities of Timiaouine and Bordj Badji Mokhtar. To ascertain the credibility of this movement (MLSA - mouvement de libération du sud de l'Algérie), we first contacted citizens of the wilaya of Bordj Badji Mokhtar to find out if they had heard of this mysterious movement. Nobody knows anything about this movement! The second step was to call in Algerian cybersecurity experts to find out the origin of the Twitter account used by this movement. The analysis of the Algerian experts is implacable: the account in question was created in April 2023 and uses a Moroccan telephone number for double Twitter authentication...
