Hichem Aboud announces lawsuit against Tebboune and Chengriha for terrorism

Algerian opposition writer Hichem Aboud, who was the victim of a kidnapping attempt by his country’s regime in Spain, announced that he would file a lawsuit against President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, General Saïd Chengriha, and all Algerian officials in Spain.
During a meeting with journalism students at the Higher Institute of Journalism and Communication in Casablanca on Thursday evening, the Algerian exile in France explained that his case, which was taken seriously by the Spanish authorities, had been transferred from the criminal court in Barcelona to the specialized anti-terrorism unit, adding that these officials “will be hunted forever and will never be able to leave the country.”
Aboud described the incident he experienced in Spain as “terrorist,” noting that he was not affected by the kidnapping attempt.
He also criticized the Algerian authorities for fabricating conflicts and crises with Morocco, asserting that “this is part of a strategy to cover up corruption and impoverish the Algerian people.”
The Algerian opponent emphasized that the human and natural resources of his country do not benefit the citizens, leaving them in poverty and vulnerability. He argued that “the military regime is trying to cover this up by creating tension with Morocco.”
He also confirmed that “the military leaders are responsible for severing ties with Morocco,” calling them “illiterate and ignorant,” and noting that there had been no restrictions on Moroccans entering Algeria or obtaining visas in the past.
Aboud expressed his rejection of the policy of division between the peoples of the Maghreb region, stressing that at one time, the region enjoyed freedom of movement and the absence of borders, with close ties between families in both countries.

For his part, Abdelkebir Akhchichen, president of the Moroccan National Press Syndicate, expressed his support for Hichem Aboud, highlighting that the Algerian writer faced numerous persecutions and violations of freedom. He added that the opponent represented “a reasonable voice” among Algerians rejecting the military narrative that portrays the neighboring country as a classical enemy. “We want to move beyond this dangerous narrative, which could lead the region to irreparable consequences,” he stated.
Akhchichen also emphasized that hosting an Algerian journalist was neither an act of tutelage nor incitement, but rather a desire to listen and promote unity in the region.
Meanwhile, the Spanish Civil Guard freed Algerian writer and opponent Hichem Aboud after he was kidnapped in Barcelona by unknown individuals while strolling in an upscale neighborhood, carrying a bag and looking for an address he could not find, shortly after arriving from Brussels.
