The military regime in Algiers has no other major concerns than countering and weakening, without success, the regional power of Morocco, by exploiting weak partners such as the Tunisian president, Kaïs Saïed, a thurifer in the pay of the corporals of Algiers, estimates the political scientist, Tajeddine El Husseini.
“While he is facing serious political and economic problems internally, the Tunisian president negotiated with Algiers the modest financial compensation to commit his deliberate and provocative act with regard to Morocco,” Tajeddine said. El Husseini, in an interview with Le360.
This transaction was haggled over by Algiers and Tunis with the aim of “weakening Morocco”. “It is a strategy of the Algerian regime known for a long time and which consists in reducing the diplomatic, economic and military power of Morocco on the regional and international levels”, he hammered.
By receiving with great fanfare in Tunis, the leader of the separatists, the Tunisian president knew “perfectly that through his hostile gesture, he was going to deeply affect the feelings of 40 million Moroccans”, recalls the political scientist. Tajeddine El Husseini believes that Kaïs Saïed was also aware of the fact that “the regime of corporals in Algiers exploited him as part of its strategy which consists not only of harming Morocco, but of reducing the diplomatic isolation of Algiers. in Africa and in the world”.
The expert shared the previous failures suffered by Algiers: in Libya, Mali and the Sahel. Among the other excesses are, according to the political scientist, the diplomatic successes achieved by Morocco in the defense of its territorial integrity with African, European, American and Asian countries.
Tajeddine El Husseini, professor of international law at Mohammed VI University in Rabat, also noted another attempt to destabilize the region by Algiers. He thus accused the Algerian regime of wanting to affect “the interests of Egypt”, as well as those of many Arab countries.
According to him, the military regime in Algiers has always acted once morest “the union, stability and prosperity of Morocco”. He recalled the old claims of Algiers on the Moroccan Sahara to create a state in its pay, as well as the various operations to weaken the Kingdom in the past through the complicity of senior officials in Libya, Tunisia and Mauritania. . All these attempts, according to the geopolitical expert, have failed on “a powerful, united and stable Morocco”.
Tajeddine El Husseini, on the other hand, evoked the many Moroccan territories amputated from the Kingdom and ceded to the Algiers regime following the independence of Morocco. “We must abrogate this agreement as well as that of 1972 under which Algiers had been associated with the exploitation with Morocco of the iron mine of Gara Jebilat, an area located near Tindouf”.
This agreement for the joint exploitation of this important mine was signed on June 15, 1972 by the late Algerian President Houari Boumediene and the late King Hassan II”, recalled the political scientist, stressing that “these territories have always been Moroccan”. It should also be noted that the Algiers regime unilaterally signed an agreement in 2021 with a Chinese company to operate “alone the Jebilat iron mine”.
