Moroccan party seeks clarification from Arab Broadcasting Union on Algerian Media practices

The Secretary-General of the Popular Movement Party, Mohamed Ouzzine, wrote to the President of the Arab Broadcasting Union regarding the Algerian media's criticism of Morocco during the Africa Cup of Nations, hosted in Côte d'Ivoire.

Ouzzine expressed concern about «unacceptable practices» by Algerian public radio and television channels, citing specific examples like describing Morocco as «political» and accusing the Royal Moroccan Football Federation president of manipulating referees.

He emphasized that such actions, especially through official channels, escalate tensions and contradict the spirit of sportsmanship.

Ouzzine urged the Arab Broadcasting Union to address this issue as an emergency matter, seeking solutions to curb hostility and promote cooperation between the two nations.
