Salam alikum. Thank you for offering me this opportunity to express my opinion. I am an Algerian citizen. I ask Algerian officials to stop their support for Sahraouis because this group of Sahraouis was the cause of the tension in relations with our Moroccan brothers. They are really our brothers for a long time. There is no difference between us. We even have marriage ties with our Moroccan brothers. We shouldn’t fritter away our relation with them for the Sahraouis who don’t know even how to clean themselves and their dirt. I say to Algerian officials in my country, stop stirring strife and leave the Sahara to Moroccans because we have nothing to do with the Sahara. If there are some Algerian generals who want to settle down their narrow accounts, I tell them that it should not be on the detriment of our relations with our Moroccan brothers. I also thank His Majesty the King Mohammed VI for his wisdom and diplomacy.

The name of the Algerian minister is Zerhouni not Azzarhouni. Ok, we are fed up to say every time border, border, border, border, no border. We hate this of you. The Algerians don’t like Moroccans. You say racist, yes. We are racists. No border. We don’t like you. Ok. Be free. The state doesn’t like you. The people don’t like you, clear? Look this ruined you. Go play with other people who don’t know you. Algerians hate you, by God the Almighty. Be free and respect yourselves or throw your drugs then yourselves in the sea. We don’t love you. It is impossible that you love Algeria. You want to make of Algeria a passage to forward your poisons to Western Countries by road because by plain it is almost impossible. The plane which you forwarded to Corsica, all the people know that 5 tonnes of drugs are onboard of it, in a helicopter, by God you are shameless. You only work in ruining works. We were prejudiced, we are healing evil and hypocrisy. Forget us. We don’t think of you, we don’t feel your presence as humans on earth. Ok, understand yourselves. Who knows kadrah???

I am starting to believe strongly that only people willing to “”sell their mothers “” in a black market are the real people who want the borders to be reopen without solving the unfinished business and problems created by Morocco. The Moroccan Kings with their stubborn and unwillingness to resolve the problem have deprived Moroccans of more than $70 Billion dollars of hallal revenues from Algeria during these 14 years. I will not talk about the wasted money to keep the military power, or the ""wall" against the Sahrawis the past 30 years, this does amount to big numbers that the King cannot afford to spend...but thanks to the drug money..""small and temporary miracles"" happened in Morocco. The King needs a long vision if he really believes in the borders reopening. Enough of the ""fake"" neighbor imploring religion, ethnic ""links"" and now international financial crisis to reopen the borders : these are very sneaky moves since they were never originally raised when problems were created by Morocco. Since life is so wonderful in Morocco without Algeria participation why on earth is the King begging for the borders reopening when at the same time he is arrogantly pointing fingers at Algeria for his political problems??? a normalization of relations must benefit both countries. We all know that the strong cards are in the moroccan side: It apt to the King (if he is really a great King..) to recognize his mistakes, to apologize and to pay to repair the damages created. Then the two countries will able to see how relations and the border’s reopening can benefit both sides : I mean BOTH sides..halall business both ways…scratch my back and I will scratch yours…(after you get rid of the poison and burn once for all these drug fields..). x0x0x

kader l'invité Posted 2008-12-07

Hello- I am Algerian. I read all of the comments and, to sum them up in one word: incompatibility. I will explain myself. It makes me laugh when I read “two brother peoples”, “united by religion “and so on. Everyone is different, and even their thoughts are different. Morocco betrayed Algeria multiple times. And, what is more, the Jews are influencing the Moroccan government so as to accentuate these differences. The people are prostituted out to tourism, losing their values. There is much more to be said, but as a Muslim I say that expelling your brothers from their land is a sin. I opt for the borders being closed and the Sahrawi’s lands being returned to them, you bunch of traitors. You are a bunch of Israeli bootlickers and a bunch of trollops for the nonbelievers.

rouissi Posted 2008-12-09

Hi- I am Moroccan. Why is it that every time you have problems you say that it is Morocco that caused them? Have you forgotten about when you threw the Moroccans out of their home with their children’s and their backpacks, about when you beat them and everything? Why, in your opinion, did this happen? It was so that we would go back to our country. You think you are intelligent, but not at all! What right do you have to insult King Mohamed VI, the king the most beloved by his people? You are unbelievable!

magrebin Posted 2008-12-14

Hi everyone- I will begin my analysis of the Algerian-Moroccan problem by saying this: there is no real problem; there is only a created problem, and do you know why? Simply put, this is so that the two regimes may survive forever. You are perhaps going to say that I am inclined towards Islamism, but no, I am a realist. They make these fake problems in order the people will remain sure that they are real and not pay attention to the real problems that affect them. Let us get back to the alleged problem with the border. With regards to this, there is a game going on all the time, wherein a certain party won part of the land during the independence of Algeria. Morocco tried to negotiate the border with Algeria at a time when it was weak. This is what brought on the war in 1962. Afterwards, the Polisario was created as a means of pressuring Morocco. Morocco took advantage of the “Black Decade” in order to try to negotiate in favour of its interests at a time when Algeria needed it. Now, Morocco is demanding the border be opened just so that part of the Moroccan people may benefit from Algeria’s money, because now Algeria is rich. Just look at the chronology of the events and you will understand that there are no real problems; there is only a jealousy, which is lasting, and all of these problems. And, with regards to this, you have the evidence. So, why do you think that Bouteflika wants to extend his term in office? He quite simply trampled over the constitution so as to please his friends in the Maghreb, the Egyptians and the Westerners and such that there would not be a true democracy. Other countries will not be influenced by the Algerian example. This is where all the problems lie: the survival of regimes. If they once had problems with borders in Europe, then they no longer do— there are no more borders. It is up to you to think about this, my friends and brothers of the Arab world.

belaid Posted 2008-12-17

You bunch of phoneys! You talk about Algeria as if it was New York. Your people live worse off than those in black Africa. Morocco is a thousand times more civilised and more developed than Algeria, so stop lying to yourselves. Morocco only proposed re-opening the border to draw the Maghreb in the pattern of Europe in order to having the free movement of people. Well, fine, you Algerians are always looking for some way to one-up Morocco, but, in the end, you and your government – or, rather, I should say your generals - are pathetic. They order you around like servants with that propaganda of yours. Go to Morocco and you will see the difference between it and Algeria, which entirely opposes us. It is hot and cold with you. We are happy that you have oil; otherwise, it would be a ****. Speaking about the Polisario, which you so defend, this rather makes me laugh. The Sahara is now and forever Moroccan. You defend the Polisario just like you would a puppet, so that you can have access to the Atlantic. Moreover, whenever Morocco does anything, you are the first to criticise it or to try to do better. Take, for example, Tangiers-Med: I read in an article that Algeria is going to build one a hundred times larger. You are not even able to build your own roads and buildings; the Chinese do it for you. And, for your information, the Algerians are the ones coming to work in Morocco, because our wages are higher. I almost forgot to add that you go all the way to Oujda to take photographs with bananas. That goes to show your poverty.

abel de Geneve Posted 2008-12-20

Algeria is a sovereign country and it reserves the right to open or close its borders to whomever it wants. Have a little dignity, King: mind what concerns you and leave the Algerians alone. I will remind everyone that I was in Marrakesh the day of the bombing of Hotel Hasni and I witnessed the unacceptable and irresponsible behaviour of the Moroccan authorities and how it was endorsed by the citizens, who proclaimed their joy following the announcement of a visa being instituted and the expulsion of all the Algerians on vacation in Morocco. I was witness to this shameful hunt in the streets, the hotels and everywhere, where Algerians were found. Now, you seem to have forgotten all of this. I am deeply moved and shocked at the same time. Only fools do not recognise their wrongs. So, make a public declaration of your apology to the victims and afterward we can have a dialogue.

maghrebin Posted 2009-01-28

Ignorance reigns supreme in the Maghreb. In effect, the third World and so on will forever be this way. Moroccan or Algerian, you are all idiots.

maghrebin Posted 2009-05-12

Peace and mercy of God be upon you. I got acquainted with many Algerians. They all want, without exception to visit Morocco and live in Morocco. Honestly, I got acquainted with very nice people. I haven’t noticed any offence to Morocco. On the opposite, they expressed a big love to Morocco. They live on the hope to see the border opened to visit Morocco which they describe as a very nice country. At the beginning, I told them it is important to open the border between Morocco and Algeria. Believe me, it is in the interest of Morocco to keep the border closed to avoid problems that might rise from opening it. If there is any profit from opening the border to Morocco, God is richer than all creatures and He is the provider. We live in the bounties of God. God has supplies. So let the border be closed since Morocco has paradise on earth, praise be to God. I shouldn’t forget that once I asked an Algerian reporter after he expressed his wish to visit Morocco, how come that Algerians want to visit and live in Morocco? What of the Sahrawi people? He said in Algeria no one cares about the issue of the Sahara or Sahrawi people. Algerians are well aware of the decent life safety and security which we Moroccans live in, praise be to God. Finally, no to opening the border between Morocco and Algeria. A greeting of love and respect to all the Algerians.

Shame on you! What indescribable shame! Morocco and Algeria may have different cultures and, most assuredly, different regimes, but they have the same people, God willing, with the same religion until the end of time. For those who criticise the decisions of the past, saying that "This was the Moroccans' doing" or "This was the Algerians' doing", then, by God, you are stupid! You are the very ones our Prophet Mohamed, God rest his soul, spoke about: troublemakers to blame for the division of the umma! It is fine and all to want unity, but the first thing to ignore is to put the faults of your neighbour out of sight and to promote his good qualities! I am Moroccan and, but God, I love you Algerians the same way I love all Muslims! On Judgement Day it will be the Qur'an that saves us, not national anthems! France left a time bomb here: nationalism. It was something unknown to the Arabs (save at the time of jahiliya) because our Prophet fought against it. These two countries have made mistakes, but there is no need to talk about them! In any case, what do they change besides the sowing of hatred!? God willing, we will have a future without borders, just like in the Glorious Times not so long ago. -Salam alaikoum

You can never be anything but property of the king. You are something bequeathed by the king to his son. You will remain so. His dear people. I know this isn't and won't be published. But you democrat read it, you who keep those who don't criticize you and remove things which don't suit you and those who own you. It suffices me that you democrat reads it.
