The year 2020 will have witnessed the return of venomous relations between Morocco and Algeria after a lull in 2019. Back on the key moments.
Assuring that his country has no problem with Morocco, the Algerian president reiterated his country's position on the Western Sahara issue. He also expressed his country's determination to «impose itself» as a mediator for a solution to the Libyan crisis, but also for the Malian issue.
In an interview published on Monday by French newspaper L'Opinion, Abdelmadjid Tebboune described the Moroccan military barracks project as an escalation that must stop. A statement that confirms the concerns of Algeria despite clarifications made by Morocco.
While comparing the Renault plant in Tangier to the one in Algeria, President Abdelmajid Tebboune accused Morocco’s «lobbyists» of ruining the country’s diplomatic ties with France.
