The military regime in power in Algeria has exceeded all limits and committed acts that have nothing to do with humanity. It has been stripped of all meaning of neighborliness and brotherhood, to the point of violating the sanctity of the dead, recommended by the true Islamic religion.
The matter did not end there. The vile act reached an unprecedented level when the body of Moroccan player Abdel Latif Akhrif was detained for several months, with behavior that befits no human being.
The tragic story begins on July 6, 2024, when young Moroccan Akhrif and his friend Salman El Harrak drowned off Restinka beach, near the town of M’diq, while three others survived.
The incident came as a shock to everyone who knew the player and his family, and sadness was widespread among all football fans in Morocco.
Akherif’s body was found last August near the coast of Cape Falcon in Algeria, sparking an outpouring of grief among his family members and supporters.
But worse than that is what the Algerian regime did after this tragic incident, as the Algerian authorities decided to detain the body for months before releasing it late last night, Thursday, on the other side of the land border, in the “Pair of Mules” in Oujda.
This incident marked a turning point in revealing the baseness of the Algerian military regime, which refused to do anything except appear in the worst possible image before the world.
This regime, which continues to suffer from isolation on the international scene, reflects its miserable behavior towards the body of a person victim of a tragic accident, which confirms the absence of any sense of humanity and chivalry.
What the Algerian regime has done reveals the odious politicization of the dead and reveals the extent of the moral decline of this military regime, which acts as if it had the upper hand over people’s lives and deaths.
If this policy has weakened relations between the countries, this behavior shows that the Algerian regime has reached a stage of moral decadence that cannot be accepted.
Brotherhood among people should not be subject to political or partisan agendas, but this regime has clearly shown that it does not care about these deep human values, even in times of grief and loss.
