The mystery behind the Algerian newspaper “El Khabar” map: When Morocco appeared in its full extent and then vanished

The confusion of the Algerian regime and the scandal of the complete Moroccan map

Sometimes, politics does not need long official statements to reveal scandals of contradiction; a press map that appears for a moment and then is struck by panicked censorship is enough. In this context, media reports revealed a striking incident: the Algerian newspaper “El Khabar” published an article titled “Concrete steps by Algeria towards reshaping the coastal space,” accompanied by a map showing Morocco with its southern extension, including its Saharan provinces, before the post disappeared in the blink of an eye from the newspaper and its digital platforms.

Tebboune’s maneuvers and the flight forward

This incident was not a mere technical error; rather, it coincided chronologically with the media appearances of Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who returned to play his broken record about the so-called right to self-determination, claiming in a periodic interview that “no one can force the Sahrawi people to disappear from the map.” This blatant synchronization confirms that the Algerian regime treats geography as a tool in its losing battle against the Kingdom’s territorial integrity, attempting a veiled response to the exposure of its official media.

International shifts surrounding the separatist thesis

These desperate maneuvers come at a time when the Algerian regime is experiencing unprecedented regional and international isolation. The international community is no longer paying attention to empty slogans, given the explicit and growing support for the autonomy proposal under Moroccan sovereignty from major powers like France and the United States, as well as the firm UN Security Council resolutions that clearly identify the real parties to the conflict and put an end to all attempts to prolong this artificial dispute.
