Targeting Sansasal and Its Relation to Macron’s Visit to Morocco

I followed with disgust the targeting of the writers, Mr. Daoud and Sansasal, and I felt repulsed by the attack against them. As usual, while following political events, I began searching for the reasons behind this violent attack that lacks any legal, cultural, or procedural context. As an analyst in international politics, the clue that began to emerge for me is that the real objective of this escalation is nothing more than expressing dissatisfaction and increasing tensions between Algeria and France.
The two writers represent a bridge between French culture and Algerian culture, though I have reservations about some of their positions, which contradict many of Algeria’s core values. These values, which have been systematically destroyed since 1992 by policies that resemble, in their cruelty, Nazi and fascist policies, and the destruction of these values continues to this day.
A recent example of this is the change in Algeria’s stance on the war in Gaza, which became evident during the Algerian president’s visit to Egypt. The statement he made does not need decoding, as it clearly undermines Algeria’s consistent stance on the Palestinian issue. This campaign against the writers is merely part of a series of tensions reflecting an imbalance in Algerian power, which is no longer capable of managing the country effectively. What is even more concerning is the repetition of these tensions, such as imposing visas on holders of Moroccan passports under the pretext of fearing the infiltration of Moroccan spies. In other words, Moroccan intelligence would find it difficult to find spies, should it want to, from other nationalities and with non-Moroccan passports. It is something that is frankly ridiculous.
In fact, political mediocrity in Algeria has become surreal to such an extent that it has reached an unimaginable level of degradation. This deterioration is the result of the state’s loss of all means of effective response to the successive diplomatic setbacks, which have isolated Algeria internationally, and have no solution left but material and political concessions or hysterical tensions that will hasten the collapse of the system and its internal explosion. According to many analysts, this will happen soon.
