HIBAPRESS
While the Algerian media has been preoccupied, since the end of the week and until today, with fabricating fictitious scenarios about limited social protests in some Moroccan cities, attempting to attribute the problems of the ailing military regime to the Kingdom, the popular proverb perfectly applies: "The hump is on the camel's back, and its tongue distracts it."
In Morocco, young people possess awareness and physical and mental health that enable them to take to the streets and squares in a civilized manner to express clear social demands, while in Algeria, children and adolescents suffer from a catastrophic situation that has reached the point of the admission of the Minister of National Education himself, Mohamed Seddiki Saadaoui, who revealed that students are threatened by a "triple danger" that is devouring them: excessive screen time, unregulated digital content, and then drugs and psychoactive substances, the consumption of which has become almost like daily bread for adolescents and young people.
The minister, in a speech at the Great Mosque of Algeria, did not hesitate to sound the alarm, confirming that drugs have become a "devastating invasion," to the extent that some students are now coming forward to the administrations of their institutions to report their possession of psychoactive substances, a shocking scene that reflects the depth of the tragedy, despite the deployment of security and gendarmerie patrols at the doors of schools since the start of the school year.
In a desperate tone, closer to hallucination, the minister demanded that teachers "instill the values of health in the behavior of students," and appealed to the students themselves to make healthy behavior their title inside and outside the school. As for the parents, he directed a desperate call to monitor their children and their belongings permanently, in a tacit admission of the state's incapacity and its resounding failure in the face of the flood that is sweeping through the youth of Algeria.
