Trump’s New Blow to Algeria’s Military Junta: The Return of Richard Grenell, Architect of the Recognition of Moroccan Sovereignty Over the Sahara

It seems that Algeria’s military junta still struggles to come to terms with the American recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. In a new twist, Donald Trump has reignited this political nightmare by appointing Richard Grenell, the architect of this historic recognition, as Special Envoy to the American President for “special missions.”
This decision is a major setback for the Algerian regime, already burdened by diplomatic failures and international isolation. While Algeria’s generals remain fixated on their hostility toward Morocco, global powers are advancing strategically with key figures like Grenell, a cornerstone of American diplomatic successes.
A Paralyzed Junta Facing a New Humiliation
Richard Grenell, known for his expertise and strategic acumen, is preparing to tackle new foreign policy challenges. Meanwhile, Algeria’s junta clings to outdated rhetoric. With his experience and influential network, Grenell poses a significant challenge to any regime lacking credibility.
For Algeria, this appointment is a symbolic blow, highlighting an American diplomacy that decisively addressed long-standing issues under Trump’s administration.
A Stark Contrast
On one side, Grenell—efficient, visionary, and proactive. On the other, Algeria’s military junta, entrenched in internal conflicts and devoid of constructive vision for the region’s future.
Algeria’s Obsession: A Tragedy Turning into Comedy
In response to Grenell’s appointment, Algeria is likely to ramp up its media campaigns and issue condemnations. However, these actions will not change an irreversible fact: the U.S. recognition of Moroccan sovereignty is a historical reality, championed by an unyielding figure.
A Lesson in Realism
Grenell’s return serves as a lesson for Algeria: in diplomacy, only clear vision leads to success. While Morocco reaps the rewards of its proactive strategy, Algeria remains trapped in failure, stuck in the past, and unable to adapt to the present.
