The French newspaper “Le Monde” is currently promoting for Algiers “an international conference” on the Moroccan Sahara, to get the Algiers military junta out of the impasse in which it is plunged, for lack of an alternative to its theses. well-worn at the level of the Security Council and the international community.
The French newspaper endorses the Algerian thesis, according to which the process of settling the Sahara issue is blocked and that neither Morocco nor Algeria emerged triumphant after five decades of conflict and that, consequently, it would be appropriate to convene an international conference under the aegis of Paris (the promoter of the project), sponsored by “Moroccans”, hostile to their country.
The French president, whose country is gradually being driven out of the African continent, who rejects French colonial paternalism, pushes very far the cap of his hostility to the ancestral Kingdom of Morocco and his strategic alliance with the military junta. In addition to the activation of his pawns in the European parliament, to discredit the Chérifien Kingdom (Pegasus, lobbying, corruption), here he is engaged to save face from a corrupt military junta, which massacred more than 200,000 Algerians, to s to oppose the democratization of the country, now that all the lights are red on the register of its management of the Sahara conflict.
The Security Council is today called, after two successive resolutions, to designate the party which is blocking the peace process, which refuses the implementation of the recommendations of the Security Council, for the relaunch of the talks in Geneva (Round tables) . It was at this precise moment that Paris extended the pole to the military junta in Algiers, suggesting that it convene an international conference, to replace the UN process, which puts Algeria and Algerian propaganda at the foot of the wall, after 50 years of lies.
France actually knows the file, for having colonized the region and for having been involved not only in the amputation of vast territories of Morocco in the East of the Country, for the benefit of its Algerian department, but in the sharing with Spain of the Cherifian Empire of Morocco, in the north as in the south, at a time when Algeria did not exist either as a nation or as a State, both at the time of its colonization and for centuries before.
To choose the camp of adversity in Morocco, in the context of contesting its presence and its influence in Africa, is in fact to program its slow death. Flying to the aid of Algeria, on the diplomatic level, to prevent the ship from sinking, cannot be explained by gas supplies and arms exports to Algeria alone, which exports, in the current geopolitical context , risk provoking an energetic response from the United States of America, as long as Algiers has not provided pledges of its loyalty to the Western camp, at war against Russia.
Never had the Elysée gone so far in its hostility and machinations against the Kingdom of Morocco. The election of Emmanuel Macron at the Elysée will undoubtedly remain for Morocco, a dark stain in the history of relations between the two countries. Compared to the late Jacques Chirac, who defended the territorial integrity of Morocco from the center of Algiers, or Nikolas Sarkozy, the decline is measured in light years.
