In less than two months, Algeria suffered heavy diplomatic losses by withdrawing recognition of the “Republic of Illusion” by five countries in South America and Africa, a new blow to its efforts of several decades to support the separatist Polisario Front.
What are the reasons that led to this setback? How did this defeat affect Algeria’s internal and external situation?
Algeria under Bouteflika: billions invested to support the Polisario
Algerian political and media activist Saeed Bensedira confirmed that under the reign of the late President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algeria invested billions of dollars in diplomacy and human resources in order to gain recognition for the Polisario Front.
For twenty years, Algeria has also sought to expand the circle of its international allies, whether in Africa or Latin America, by providing financial and political support to many countries.
Bensedira explained that these efforts were intense and linked to Algeria’s expansionist policies, so everything that had been achieved during this period quickly collapsed in less than two months.
Setback for Algerian diplomacy: Three South American countries and Ghana withdraw their recognition
Over the past two months, Algeria has suffered several diplomatic setbacks from countries that had previously recognized the “Republic of the Sahrawi Illusion”, while three South American countries and two African countries, the most recent of which was Ghana, have decided to withdraw. their recognition of the Polisario Front.
This indicates a sudden change in the positions of these countries, reflecting a change in global political balances. It highlights the failure of the corruption policy proposed by the Cabrinate regime in Algeria to buy the support of countries.
Failure in sensitive issues: Mali, Niger and Libya
Algeria’s defeats were not limited to the Moroccan Sahara issue alone, but also extended to sensitive regional issues such as the crises in Mali, Niger and Libya.
In each of these countries, Algeria has failed to effectively influence or realize its interests, reflecting a clear decline in its regional and international position.
Moroccan diplomacy: continued victory on the international scene
On the other hand, Moroccan diplomacy has achieved major victories in the Moroccan Sahara issue. The recent period has seen an increase in the number of countries recognizing the Moroccan nature of the Sahara, which reflects a significant improvement in the Kingdom’s position on the international scene.
Morocco now enjoys growing support from various major world powers and continues to strengthen its position as a strong country in North Africa.
Algeria is increasingly isolated: economic collapse and internal tensions
Many observers believe that Algeria could become the only country in the world to recognize the so-called “Polisario Republic”, placing it in dangerous isolation that could affect its internal stability.
Given this growing isolation, the Algerian regime is expected to experience serious economic and social crises, which could exacerbate internal tensions.
Morocco: a regional power and growing international support
Unlike Algeria, Morocco continues to strengthen its stability and strength in all areas, including political and economic. Thanks to its diplomatic skills, Morocco is increasingly respected and appreciated by the international community, and it maintains its territorial integrity and its position as a leading country on the African continent.
A shift in the balance of power in favor of justice on the question of territorial unity
Ultimately, it is clear that Algeria is facing major diplomatic setbacks in various regional and international issues, while Morocco continues to strengthen its position and its successes.
This indicates a shift in the balance of power in the region, with growing international support for the Moroccan position and the opening of numerous consulates in the Moroccan Sahara.
