Algerian intelligence kidnaps prominent oppositionist Ali Belhaj after he spoke about the Moroccanity of the Sahara
This week (exactly 11,december 2024), the security services of the Algerian military regime arrested Ali Belhaj, the Algerian Islamic leader and deputy head of the Islamic Salvation Front, who is under house arrest in Algeria, because of an opinion he expressed on the Moroccan Sahara issue.
Yesterday, the Algerian sheikh Ali Belhaj was arrested and taken to an unknown destination. He is already under house arrest.
Ali Belhaj said in a videotape that the regime claims to support just causes, and in doing so it is using a language of wood that has been worn out for ages, stressing that “Algeria, which claims to stand with just causes, has not stood with any cause that exists today in the world, and what it says today about the Polisario Front are lies.” “.
Belhaj asked, “How can the Algerian regime stand with justice issues when it is already oppressing its people and undermining their rights?”
He revealed that “what Algeria claims regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue came because of the sand war that broke out at that time, and there was not originally something called the Polisario,” stressing that “it cannot be accepted that anyone who has been wronged goes to create a state.”
Belhaj stressed that “Algeria created the Polisario in Tindouf as a barrier to prevent Morocco from claiming its land, which is Tindouf.”
