The recent meeting in Turkey between Donald Trump's special advisor, Massad Boulos, and the Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ahmed Attaf, has sparked a shift in stance within the Polisario Front, which now openly opposes American demands. In response, the Trump administration has taken a tougher stance.
Clashes erupted in Ouled Rami, El Kelaâ des Sraghna, as security forces attempted to enforce a court ruling favoring a controversial quarry project, leaving several injured. Residents, backed by human rights groups, protest the project, citing environmental and health risks.
