Badou Ezzaki, a Moroccan retired footballer and the current manager of the Algerian club CRB, urged the Algerian Prime Minister to «open the border» speaking to media after a game that he won on Wednesday.

Interviewed by the press, Ezzaki declared that he told Prime Minister Abdelmajid Tabboune that the land borders between Morocco and Algeria should be opened.

«I said to him : Mr Tabboune, I am not a man of politics and I am not into it but I am asking for one thing : open the borders».
