The President of the Algerian Senate Launches a Fierce Attack on Morocco

These statements appeared in an address by the president of the upper house of the Algerian Parliament on the occasion of the 14th Summer University of Polisario Front officials, held in Boumerdès. The speech was read in his name at the opening ceremony, notably in the presence of Polisario leader Brahim Ghali. The Algerian Council of the Nation published the official video.

Azouz Nasri praised the “resistance” of the Sahrawi people and reaffirmed Algeria’s support for their right to self-determination. But the Algerian official went much further when he directly addressed Morocco.

According to him, this resistance would require international mobilization capable of “blocking the path of the Moroccan Makhzen’s settler-colonial project in the region” and putting an end to its “expansionist ambitions.” He claimed that these were based on claims rejected by History and by the International Court of Justice.

Algiers Rejects Solutions That Would Prolong the Status Quo

This new attack forms part of the discourse defended by Algiers on the Sahara. The official APS news agency confirmed that Nasri reiterated on 11 August Algeria’s “steadfast support” for the right to self-determination and called for a broad international solidarity movement in favor of the Polisario.

The president of the Council of the Nation also rejects what he describes as a desire to “perpetuate” the conflict by extending provisional measures or seeking to impose solutions that, in his view, would circumvent international legality.

Azouz Nasri ultimately places Western Sahara and Palestine on the same footing of “decolonization,” which he describes as a collective responsibility. He assures that Algeria will remain alongside the Polisario and intends to continue advancing this position through its international diplomatic efforts.
