Algeria, protector of the Polisario, makes a new gesture of hostility once morest Rabat. She authorized a pseudo Rif National Party (PNR), known for its desire for independence for the Rif in Morocco, to inaugurate its official representation in the beautiful districts of Algiers, in Poirson, in a villa belonging to the authorities.
Formed in Belgium in September 2023, the Rif National Party, described as a “separatist group” in Morocco, now has an office in Algeria. On Saturday, its official representation was inaugurated in the beautiful districts of Algiers, in Poirson, in a villa belonging to the Algerian authorities. By welcoming this party to its soil, Algeria is showing once once more that it continues to support separatist groups. Its unwavering support for the Polisario, which proclaimed a “Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR)” and calls for a self-determination referendum, has not weakened.

Algeria therefore supports the Rif National Party. The latter had also requested its support the day following its creation. “I ask Algeria to recognize the Rif Republic as soon as possible,” declared Jaber El Ghadioui, the representative of the Rif hirak. On the web, he added: “We want Algeria to open its training centers to us so that we can learn how to use weapons. We want Algeria to treat us like other liberation movements, old and new.”

Algiers’ welcoming of the Rif national party provokes reactions. This sponsorship is a “serious provocation”, denounces the Algerian journalist in exile, Hichem Aboud on the Atalayar website. “Is it the near end of the Polisario which encourages the hawks of Algiers to look for a replacement for this movement? Or is it a desire to push Moroccans to recognize the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylia [MAK, classé terroriste en Algérie] and therefore prepare the ground for an escalation of tension between the two countries? », he asks.
