Algiers – Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune received Ibrahim Ghali, leader of the self-proclaimed “Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic,” in Algiers, where they discussed bilateral relations. This event has sparked political analysis suggesting that the meeting may indicate Algeria’s efforts to demarcate “new borders” in the Eastern Sahara, possibly reflecting a move to “close the file” on the ongoing Sahara dispute.
Political analysts believe Tebboune’s reception of Ghali could be part of a broader strategy to reshape the geopolitical landscape of the region. According to these analyses, Algeria may seek to end the fabricated Sahara dispute by granting the Polisario Front territories in the Tindouf region, located within the Moroccan Eastern Sahara. Historically, these territories were part of the areas annexed by France during the colonial period, making them a sensitive point in Algerian-Moroccan relations.
The analysis suggests that Algeria might attempt to establish a new reality in the region by allocating these territories to the Polisario Front, raising questions about the true intentions behind the meeting. Is it merely a routine diplomatic encounter, or does it carry a strategic move to alter the status quo?
If this hypothesis proves correct, the repercussions of the meeting could be significant for Algerian-Moroccan relations, which have been strained by the fabricated issue surrounding the Moroccan Sahara. Algeria has for years affirmed its support for the Polisario mercenaries, but denies being a direct party to the conflict, emphasizing that its role is limited to political and humanitarian support.
However, Algeria’s hosting of the Tindouf camps and its continuous support for the Polisario Front place it at the heart of the conflict’s dynamics.1 Therefore, any such move could be interpreted as an attempt to impose a new reality, potentially escalating tensions with Morocco.
It is difficult to predict precisely how this situation will unfold, but any attempt to demarcate new borders or allocate territories to the Polisario Front would likely require complex negotiations involving not only Algeria and Morocco but also international parties such as the United Nations.
The meeting between Tebboune and Ghali remains a significant event worth monitoring, as it could signal potential shifts in the Sahara issue. However, the true impact of this move depends on political and diplomatic developments in the coming months. Currently, the meeting raises more questions about the future of the conflict and Algeria’s role in it, with regional and international reactions being closely watched.
