How does the Algerian regime insult the memory of its martyrs?
The article discusses how political and media discourse in Algeria is used to reshape collective consciousness, especially through emphasizing hostility towards Morocco. A continuous narrative is imposed that links Morocco to an ongoing adversary, turning sports defeats into a source of joy, which reflects the phenomenon of "collective gloating." The article demonstrates that this discourse contributes to altering public perceptions, making the downfall of the neighbor in sports or political disputes appear as a national achievement, even though relations between the two countries are still based on shared interests and history. The text explains that this long-term rhetoric confuses historical memory and places greater importance on the other's loss at the expense of national achievement, thereby threatening the development of a healthy national consciousness focused on progress and growth.
