Algeria–Polisario coordination boosting separatist movement

A report has alleged that Algerian authorities and the Polisario Front have been engaging in coordinated activities intended to boost the separatist movement in Western Sahara, as covered by Maghrebi Week on August 18th.

These activities have seen Algiers “mislead” the Polisario Front and both sides refuse to accept the so-called “failure” of separatism in the region at a time when the United Nations is expected to endorse Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara.

Algerian diplomats in France have reportedly been the subject of arrest warrants over the alleged attempted kidnappings of Algerian dissidents, and Algiers has facilitated Polisario representatives gaining unsolicited access to international diplomatic events.
