The continuation of the rotten positions of the military gang in Algeria to oppose the Moroccan initiative!!

In a premature step, the bad neighbor quickly took the decision to stop loans that it had previously granted to mostly poor African countries, according to what was announced in the latest issue of the Official State Gazette, and to return the allocated funds to the state treasury without providing further details or explaining the reasons for the decision.
The Official Gazette stated that the closure of foreign countries’ loan accounts includes “Mauritania, Mali, Guinea, Niger, the People’s Republic of Congo, then Tanzania and Benin.” As is clear, the list included the majority of countries that had approached the Moroccan recently, and their representatives even attended a preparatory meeting for an economic initiative announced by the King of Morocco last November.
Observers believe that, contrary to what the Algerian military regime claims, the decision to stop loans is nothing more than a sovereign decision for Algeria in light of the diplomatic tensions on the African continent, as well as in view of the financial and economic conditions that Algeria is going through… However, despite the flimsy justifications, it has been concretely confirmed that The bad neighbor’s waving of the loan card came as a result of the royal decision to have the Sahel countries join the Atlantic Initiative launched by Morocco to facilitate the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic Ocean. It is an economic initiative through which the Kingdom seeks to strengthen its economic presence in the region, as Algeria’s decision revealed, It came as a reaction to the positions of these countries regarding the Moroccan initiative and even the positions of these countries on the Moroccan Sahara issue.
In the context of the events taking place in the Sahel region, the “priests of the Mouradia Palace” rushed to put pressure on some countries, including the State of Niger, after Ahmed Attaf, the Foreign Minister of Algeria, insisted on the Nigerien Foreign Minister, Bakary Yawu Sangari, to come urgently to the capital, a visit that raised a group of questions. Especially since it came directly after the participation of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Niger, in the ministerial coordination meeting on the royal initiative for the access of the Sahel countries to the Atlantic interface, which was hosted by the city of Marrakesh last weekend, where the head of diplomacy praised this initiative, stressing his country’s full support for it..
Because the hatred of the “Karaghla” towards the Kingdom of Morocco has no end, the “Tebboune” group sent an official invitation to Julius Maada Bio, President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, to Algeria, to visit Algeria, extending from January 2 to 4, 2024, a visit that concluded with the issuance of a statement between the two parties, In it, they reviewed the status of cooperation relations between both brotherly countries in various fields, and on major regional and international issues of common interest. The issue of the Moroccan Sahara was addressed, and the joint statement stressed the need for the parties to the conflict – including Algeria – to resume negotiations under the supervision of the Secretary-General. United Nations in order to reach a just and lasting political solution.
It seems that President Tebboune, in his meeting with the President of the Republic of Sierra Leone, forgot that the president he was talking to was neither bought nor sold, because the President of Sierra Leone knows with certainty where the Little Republic of Tindouf is located. Likewise, Tebboune forgot that the representative of Sierra Leone is At the United Nations, she said, during the annual meeting of the Committee of 24, held in New York, on June 17, 2023, that her country “supports the Moroccan initiative for autonomy, which the Security Council considers serious and credible, in its successive resolutions since 2007,” describing it as a The “consensus-based solution” to settle this artificial regional dispute, and highlighted that the Moroccan plan is in line with international law, the United Nations Charter, and the resolutions of the Security Council and the United Nations General Assembly, especially with regard to delegating authority to the local population.
It may also be that President Tebboune forgot or forgot that Sierra Leone had officially joined, since 2021, the ranks of the African and Arab countries that opened consulates general in the desert regions, which were distributed between the cities of Dakhla and Laayoune. Just to remind the “Karaghla”, there is currently a consulate general for the Republic of Sierra Leone. In the city of Dakhla, headed by Zainab Kandi, her country’s Consul General in the city.
