The French radio station Monte Carlo confirmed today the news indicating the involvement of the Algerian regime and the Polisario militias in fighting alongside the forces of deposed Syrian President Bashar al-Assad against the armed opposition, which unexpectedly ousted him on December 8, 2024.
Did Ahmed Attaf convince the new Syrian authorities to maintain ties with the Polisario ? Judging by the cold reception given to the Algerian foreign minister in Damascus, this objective seems difficult to achieve.
Bachir Mustapha Sayed criticizes Algeria's refusal to supply weapons to the Polisario, a decision influenced by signals from Washington that limit Algeria's room for maneuver.
