While Algeria clings desperately to outdated rhetoric, refusing to evolve with today’s geopolitical realities, the United States — through the clear and unambiguous voice of Lisa Kenna, Deputy Secretary of State — has just delivered a powerful rebuke to the barracks regime and its terrorist proxy, the Polisario.
In a meeting held this Thursday with Staffan De Mistura, the UN Secretary-General’s Personal Envoy, the American official reiterated what the informed international community already knows: the only viable, serious, and credible solution to the artificial conflict over the Moroccan Sahara is autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty.
This is a sharp reminder to those in Algiers who continue to finance, arm, and exploit an anachronistic separatist group — one whose very existence is based solely on diplomatic blackmail, dubious alliances, and a Cold War-era strategy of regional destabilization. The Algerian army, mired in a dated ideological stance, persists in sacrificing the aspirations of its own people to perpetuate a conflict of its own making — a conflict it remains today the main obstacle to resolving.
As for the Polisario’s terrorist militias, they are now but a shadow of their former selves: reduced to diplomatic puppetry, living off Algerian handouts, and stirring only at the regime’s command — without ever possessing the slightest claim to popular, territorial, or historical legitimacy.
The time for distraction and agitation is over. The future of the region lies in realism, in respecting Morocco’s sovereignty, and in integrating its Southern Provinces into a future of peace, development, and regional cooperation. The peoples of the region yearn for stability. But the Algerian regime, evidently, prefers chaos.
