In Bouydmouma, near Aghbala, around ten families have lived without electricity for nearly two decades despite being only a few hundred meters from the grid. Between health risks, children studying by candlelight and repeated unanswered appeals, residents say they are being left behind.
In a surprising move, Algerian media swiftly dismissed the official statements made by Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who had thanked Morocco for its assistance during the electricity outage crisis. The media accused Rabat of fabricating an imaginary achievement and questioned its actual role in the incident.
