Algeria strongly reacted on Sunday to what it described as “provocative behavior” on the part of Morocco, expressing its strongest condemnation of the project to confiscate its embassy premises in Morocco. This reaction marks an escalation of tensions between the two neighboring countries.
Indeed, in a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Community Abroad, Algeria denounced this Moroccan initiative, describing it as an “unqualifiable violation of respect and duty of protection towards the diplomatic representations of sovereign states.”
Algeria asserts that this project goes against the international standards established by the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations, which guarantees respect and protection of embassies on the host country’s territory, regardless of the circumstances. This statement highlights Algeria’s firm opposition to any action that could compromise its national interests.
Increasing tensions between Algeria and Morocco
This Algerian reaction comes at a time of increasing tensions between the two neighboring countries, especially regarding the issue of Western Sahara. Relations between Algeria and Morocco have often been marked by political and territorial disputes, and this recent escalation only exacerbates regional tensions.
In response to these provocations, the Algerian government states that it will respond “by all means it deems appropriate.” This declaration underscores Algeria’s determination to defend its national interests and protect its diplomatic representations abroad.
Algeria also announces its intention to use all available legal avenues, including appealing to the United Nations, to uphold its rights and protect its interests in this matter.
By firming condemning the actions of Morocco, Algeria calls on the international community to take a stand and defend the fundamental principles of international law, especially regarding the respect for embassies and diplomatic representations.
In conclusion, Algeria emphasizes the importance of solidarity among nations to ensure regional peace and stability, and calls for a peaceful resolution of this dispute, in accordance with international law.
