As the Polisario Front attends the African Union–European Union summit in Angola, internal dissent grows with calls for leader Brahim Ghali to distance from Algeria and engage in U.S.-mediated talks with Morocco. This schism, highlighted by Sahrawi voices like Said Zarwal, underscores emerging factions within the movement seeking a shift from long-standing alliances and strategies.
In a surprising move, Algeria broke with its traditional pro-Palestinian stance by supporting a UN resolution that endorses President Donald Trump's controversial plan for Gaza, drawing both praise from the U.S. and criticism at home. This unexpected alignment has sparked a heated debate within Algeria, highlighting the complexities of regional diplomacy and the nation's evolving foreign policy.
