In a column published Tuesday by the news website ”Machahid 24” under the title ”Operation Amira, a French insinuation on the Algerian regime’s fragility”, he notes that the Le Monde reflects the mood of the deep French state, annoyed by the complicated and tense relations between the Algerian regime and France.
“The exfiltration operation of the Algerian journalist Amira Bouraoui, organized on Tunisian territory, means that France has no consideration for the Algerian regime, dwarfed and humiliated,” he said, before noting that this case opens a new chapter in the tense relations between Algiers and Paris.
For Saoud Al Atlassi, the recent and brief improvement in relations between the two countries looks at most like a “truce” motivated by political interests, stressing that France has moved closer to Algeria to pressure Morocco in a vain attempt to muzzle it.
While indicating that “the Algerian regime lives at the pace of tensions in relation to its entourage and its interior,” Talaa Saoud Al Atlassi notes that the regime in power is, in the opinion of the Algerian press, a constituent of “the band” linked to the army, most of whose members are now tried and sentenced to heavy sentences.
“It is clear today that the Algerian regime is in frontal conflict with the people as evidenced by the popular uprising ‘Hirak’ and the huge number of prisoners of conscience,” he said, adding that “this regime is illustrated by its inability to ensure the Algerian people freedoms, food, hope or peace.”
Because, he argues, “this regime is more obsessed by its visceral hostility towards Morocco.”
