Algeria's Polisario Support and Morocco's Sahel Rise
The article focused on the nature of Algerian support for the Polisario Front, clarifying that Algeria's backing is not limited solely to the Western Sahara issue but is also linked to regional interests aimed at weakening Morocco and expanding its influence in the area. It pointed out that Algeria provides military and diplomatic assistance to Sahelian countries, such as Niger, as part of its strategy to strengthen its presence there, especially following a decline in its influence over Western Sahara due to recent developments and Morocco's expanded footprint in Africa. The article also highlights Algeria's military and economic moves in Niger, including the provision of a military aid package that includes helicopters and equipment, as part of its regional repositioning. Algeria has shifted from a policy of "diplomatic rupture" to one of reinforcing its presence through oil and economic cooperation. Meanwhile, Morocco seeks to expand its influence via economic and logistical means. It is evident that Algeria considers its interests to be governed not by rigid positions but by adapting its strategies in response to the changing regional environment. This reflects a shift in its policies throughout the region, in line with its competition with Morocco in the Sahel and Africa.
