Abu Dhabi: The Emirati newspaper Al-Bayan responded with sharp language to recent statements from official Algerian media and what it described as a “press release” that exceeded “language and logic” and “broke free from the reins of reason,” asserting that the response came out of “pity for a truncated memory, a dilapidated history, and an identity searching in vain for a mirror to see itself.”
In its editorial, the newspaper pointed out that “the Algerian attack on the United Arab Emirates did not begin today,” but dates back to the UAE’s decision, “in a purely sovereign act,” to open a consulate in the Moroccan city of Laayoune, in support of “genuine brotherhood and a clear recognition of a legitimate right to sovereignty connected to history and geography.” Since then, Algerian media has entered a “permanent fit of convulsion,” in which the UAE has become “a scapegoat for every internal failure and a crutch for every aggressive discourse.”
Responding to Algeria’s “boasting of the one and a half million martyrs,” Al-Bayan reminded that “Algeria itself was never a state in its own right, but rather abandoned land for invaders,” noting the succession of Moroccans, Spaniards, Turks, and French ruling it, “until the latter granted it a referendum in 1962, creating an entity called Algeria.” The newspaper criticized what it described as “exaggerating the number of martyrs whenever the legitimacy of the discourse decreases,” considering it “absurdity unworthy of a noble people or a respectable history.”
The newspaper questioned “the Algeria that accuses the UAE of a lack of foresight and reason,” denouncing its support for “militias in the neighborhood,” its harboring of “separatist movements,” its sowing of “discord in every passage,” and its antagonism towards “Morocco, Libya, Mali, and Niger simultaneously,” while presenting itself as an “oasis of peace and wisdom.” It also denounced the “comedic victimhood” Algeria claims due to a “press statement,” recalling what “you say every day in your media about all the Gulf states? And about Morocco? And about the whole world?”
Regarding Algeria’s “support for the UAE,” Al-Bayan mocked this claim, emphasizing that “Morocco was among the first countries to recognize the UAE immediately after its union was declared, and hastened to establish diplomatic relations with it, and remained a supporter in regional and international forums,” while Algeria was preoccupied with its “internal conflicts.”
The newspaper concluded its editorial with a strong message stating that “he who built the greatest modern city in fifty years does not need to justify himself to those who still beg for the skulls of their ancestors from foreign museums,” and that “he who possessed the strongest Arab passport does not need to be compared to a state that lives half the year in milk queues and the other half in slogan queues.” It concluded by saying: “The UAE is lofty, not because it screams, but because it achieves. And because history is not written by sound, but by action. And peace be upon those who follow reason, not wailing.”
