Rabat – As Algeria continues its crusade against Morocco, an Algerian Minister was seen recently lashing out at Saudi Investors for showing a map of Morocco with the Western Sahara region.
A video of the Algerian Minister of the Pharmaceutical Industry, Ali Aoun, lashing out at Saudi pharmaceutical company Tabuc has been causing a stir on the internet.
During the business conference that was set to hold an announcement from Tabuc on its new investment plan in Algeria, Aoun delivered a commentary in a threatening tone, saying that the company “should quickly take down the map” and “correct it.”
The Algerian minister then went on to criticize the pharmaceutical company, threatening to turn down its offer to invest in Algeria.
As the Algerian regime takes its obsession with Morocco to the next level, it has been seizing all possible chances to attack Morocco’s territorial integrity.
During the opening ceremony of the African Nations Championship (CHAN) last week, Algeria invited the grandson of Nelson Mandela, Zwelivelile Mandela, to deliver a highly politicized speech that bluntly attacked Morocco’s territorial integrity.
Algeria has long contested Morocco’s claim over the Western Sahara region, financing and arming the separatist Polisario Front. While the country faces major economic hurdles, its military leadership continues to sponsor the separatist group’s “independence war” in southern Morocco.
Given the recent diplomatic gains Morocco has made on the Sahara question, Algeria has over the past few weeks been upgrading its diplomatic activism in support of Polisario’s separatist agenda.
Many observers have maintained that Algeria has likely been frustrated by the advances Moroccan diplomacy has made in recent years.
Over the past three years, a long list of countries has recognized Morocco’s sovereignty, including the US in 2020.
