As for a propaganda site for Polisario mercenaries loyal to the Algerian military regime, it did not find any alternative but to acknowledge the strength of the honorable Kingdom of Morocco and the strong shock received by the mercenaries and its godfathers, the generals of the Algerian military, and the mockery of Algeria, whose representative appeared dwarfed and lost at the African football party organized by the Football Association in Kigali, the capital of Rwanda, and described the event as The following: “The scenes of the African football party organized by the Football Association of the Black Continent under the auspices and presence of the President of the “FIFA” organization, “Gianni Infantino”, who runs an organization whose budget is equal to that of the European Union combined, left in our hearts feelings of bitterness as Sahrawis after the evening seemed to be dedicated to celebrating Morocco His achievements and marketing to the world as a European model within Africa, a scene that was confirmed during the message of the King of Morocco, which was read by the Moroccan Minister of Education, “Shakib Ben Moussa”, and its content was sane, trustworthy, accurate and very mature, imposed on us and the audience to listen carefully to it, because we were waiting To carry something related to our Algerian ally, and we did not notice until we heard the applause of those present with the announcement of the official candidacy of Morocco, accompanied by its two Iberian neighbors, the Spaniards. Oh, and Portugal, to host the World Cup in 2030, which is expected to witness the participation of 48 teams, and will play in 12 cities, and the number of matches will reach 104, spanning 39 days … and will be broadcast across the globe.
He described the hatred of the Algerian military regime as follows: “And we return to understand the impact of the event on the Mouradia Palace, which did not succeed, and it invested above and below the ground in order to prevent Rabat from organizing the African Cup for the year 2025, and it faced a greater challenge and a more severe task to prevent Rabat, accompanied by the Iberians, from organizing The global event and the promotion of the map of Morocco, which includes the Western Sahara, thus opening the door to globalization in front of the Moroccan heritage in conflict with Algeria… Here we open the bracket that the Algerian war was wrong from the beginning, because it did not focus on obstructing the policy of the Moroccan state, although that is almost impossible, but rather fought a man One, “Fawzi Lakjaa”, the head of the federation. »
And the Polisarian website increased with a kind of denial and contempt: “During the Kigali meeting, and after those scenes that we saw from “Leggaa” accompanied by the presidents of “FIFA” and “CAF”, it became clear that one man defeated the entire state of Algeria, and that the campaign that the Mouradia Palace tried to demonize him with, His reputation served a lot and turned him into the “Robin Hood” of African football, who fights the rich “FIFA” and the savage institutions that embrace and sponsor the game of the poor, in order to blacken the eyes of the disadvantaged in the African jungle. »
The site concluded its article with regret and anguish: “I wished that Algeria would be remembered at this ceremony, even by referring to it after organizing the “Al-Shan” championship, with the amulet of the wax fox, which turned into a popular mustel in Oran and the capital, Algeria, or that the defeated president of its federation, “Jahid Zvizif,” would be summoned. He is honored, even with a simple word of courtesy… But wishes do not make glory, especially since we have all seen and heard the speech of the Rwandan president, the man who led his country to become a model in development, and he repeats the position of the Nigerian president a few days ago, and he honors Morocco and describes it as a country that is experiencing an economic and sports revolution … He praises the Moroccan regime and the king, and calls on everyone to follow the example of Rabat and work to reach the level I have reached, as if I were talking about Germany or Britain. »
It must be recalled that the stupid and foolish Algerian military regime, whose bitterness exploded with hatred, envy and rancor, resorted to a fictitious association that only exists in his imagination. He described it as the “Portuguese Friendship Association and Western Sahara”, and he expressed through its tongue what touches their infected chests and minds afflicted with all mental and mental illnesses, He begged, pleading with the President of the Portuguese Football Association, Fernando Gomez, to “reconsider Morocco’s participation in organizing the 2030 World Cup.” There is no doubt that this cacophony regime will not stop with these absurdities, trivialities and foolishness that are laughable and cynical, and will find greatness in allocating, in the future, dozens of Millions of dollars and euros, from the sustenance of the poor and hungry Algerian people who spend most of their days in queues looking for half a liter of milk, a liter of oil, a kilo of semolina, etc., to buy debts with the aim of sowing confusion and confusion like a leper and mangy fox…
