Algeria Challenges US-Backed Map Showing Western Sahara as Part of Morocco

Clearly, Algeria is not about to stop. In its sights, the map of Morocco integrating the Sahara. A map already visible on the websites and premises of American federal departments and agencies, such as the State Department, the CIA and NASA, in addition to the US embassy in Morocco. This diplomatic feat is not to the liking of the eastern neighbor.

According to local media, the Algerian government wants to mobilize internationally to "oppose the integration of the Sahara into Moroccan territory". The same sources report that the foreign minister of the neighboring country would have given instructions to his diplomats and Algerian delegations abroad "to ensure that the full map of Morocco is not displayed during international summits, forums, and conferences".

The Algerian government would also have called on the various ministerial departments, in particular the Ministry of Education, to sound a general mobilization against the territorial integrity of Morocco.
