Moroccans in Algeria threatened?

Algeria never intended to expel Moroccans residing on its territory, Algerian President Abdelamdjid Tebboune affirmed in a recent statement, stressing however that he would not tolerate them entering “labyrinths” . A barely veiled threat, say Algerian observers.

As usual, Algeria will undoubtedly bring false accusations of espionage against Moroccans residing on its territory to justify their expulsion. “The justifications presented by Abdelmadjid Tebboune for imposing visas on Moroccans continue to promote the existence of an external plot aimed at undermining Algerian national security, the same plot on which the regime had bet and which it had strongly disseminated before the last elections to encourage voters to participate and divert attention from the high rate of boycotts of these elections,” Oualid Kebir, an Algerian opposition journalist, explained to Hespress.
