Algeria refuses to hand over the body of a Moroccan

Since the beginning of last April, the body of Zakaria Radouane, a young man of 25, has been resting in a morgue in Algeria, the country where he was found after the native of M’diq tried to swim to Sebta. The Algerian authorities are in the process of authorizing his repatriation to Morocco.

Zakaria Radouane left his native M’diq on March 9, 2024 to join the Spanish enclave in order to build a better future. Unfortunately, he will never reach his destination. “Instead of reaching the Spanish coast, it was the bottom of the sea that welcomed it. His body was found washed up on the beaches of Algeria, in Aïn Témouchent, on April 1, 2024, after waiting for around twenty days,” confides his brother.
