The president of Algeria’s Senate, Azouz Nasri, strongly condemned Morocco’s alleged "expansionist ambitions" in the region, reiterating Algeria’s support for the Sahrawi people’s resistance against Moroccan occupation of Western Sahara. Nasri reaffirmed Algeria’s longstanding position on the disputed Western Sahara territory. He used the opportunity to deliver a clear message regarding Algeria's stance on the conflict. The statement represents a heightened level of rhetoric in the ongoing dispute between the two North African nations. This accusation is likely to further strain already fragile diplomatic ties. The original report appeared on the Algerian news site TSA.
