In his book «Memoirs of a Diplomat on Moroccan-Mauritanian Relations», Moroccan ambassador Kacem Zhiri sheds light on a chapter in the history of Moroccan support for the Algerian National Liberation Front in Africa. This chapter, part of the contemporary history of the two countries, contrasts sharply with today's relationship.
Algerian columnist Mehdi Ghezzar has come under fire for a recent tirade against Morocco on the French channel RMC's Les Grandes Gueules. In a subsequent broadcast on the Algerian public channel AL24 News, Ghezzar made numerous false claims, particularly regarding the role of royal advisor André Azoulay. Ghezzar accused Azoulay of censoring the Moroccan people and preventing them from speaking out against Israel's war crimes.
