The article discusses Algeria's strategy of escalation against Morocco through supporting the Polisario Front and recruiting agents and saboteurs, aiming to isolate the kingdom both regionally and internationally. Despite Algeria's military and political backing of the Polisario Front, Moroccan diplomacy succeeded in thwarting their plans, achieving international recognition of the Moroccan Sahara, most notably from France, Spain, and the United States. Algeria responded with pressure campaigns targeting France and Europe, but these had little impact on Paris’s continued support for Morocco, especially following the French Prime Minister’s visit to Morocco in July 2026, during which France reaffirmed its stance in support of Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara. The case of the arrest of writer Bousslama Sansal, followed by attempts to replicate it with journalist Ali Lmarabit, was an Algerian effort to ignite tension between Morocco and France. However, Moroccan authorities demonstrated skill and successfully prevented this tactic from succeeding, marking a diplomatic victory for Morocco. This underscores that Morocco’s strategy is more effective and sustainable than traditional coercive tools, especially in light of Algeria’s declining regional and international standing.
