While the generals in Algiers persist in their obsessive instrumentalization of a phantom entity called the “Polisario,” still hoping to defy history and geopolitics, Washington delivers a clear message: the world moves forward, but Algeria remains trapped in the ideological delusions of the past century.
Boulos left no room for ambiguity: “Genuine autonomy under Moroccan sovereignty is the only viable solution.” End of story. No illusory referenda, no pseudo-humanitarian manipulation, no diplomatic diversion. Just a reality widely recognized by major powers and confirmed by the opening of over 30 consulates in Morocco’s Southern provinces: the Sahara is Moroccan and will remain so.
Faced with this unassailable truth, the Algerian regime stands exposed as what it truly is: a purveyor of crises, a merchant of hatred, and a notorious sponsor of regional instability. Instead of investing in its own people—strangled by poverty and silenced by repression—the military power squanders billions of petrodollars to fuel a separatist illusion that no longer deceives anyone.
Even more striking, Mali’s recent complaint against Algeria before the International Court of Justice for direct aggression underscores that this regime does not merely manipulate puppets—it acts, violating the sovereignty of its neighbors while hypocritically claiming to defend the rights of peoples.
Today, Washington’s stance is more than a rebuke: it is a political death sentence for Algerian propaganda. When the world’s foremost power affirms that Moroccan autonomy is the only path, the hollow proclamations of the generals fall flat, echoing only Algeria’s growing international isolation.
Blinded by its obsession with Morocco, the Algerian military regime forgets the essentials: a population in search of dignity, whose wealth is plundered by an illegitimate elite, all while being fed the same old record about the “Western Sahara.” But history, relentless, always catches up with those who bury the truth.
With Peter Boulos’ reaffirmation, the entire world tells Algeria: enough! Enough lies, enough manipulation, enough destabilization. The Sahara is Moroccan, and the future belongs to those who build, not those who destroy.
