Algeria Denies Claims of Foreign Military Deployment, Accuses Morocco of Disinformation

"Certain parties and mouthpieces of discord have relayed through their subversive pages and accounts on social networks unfounded allegations, claiming that the actions and operations carried out by the military institution, internally and externally, respond to agendas and instructions from foreign parties, and that the People’s National Army is preparing to send troops to participate in military missions outside our national borders under the aegis of foreign powers within the framework of the G5 Sahel, which is false and unacceptable," denounces the ministry in a statement.

The MDN "categorically denies all these tendentious allegations and sly maneuvers, through which their authors believe they can sow trouble and destabilize the country," the same source specifies, affirming that the ANP "has never been and will never be subject in its actions except to the authority" of the President of the Republic, and in accordance with its explicit constitutional missions and the laws of the Republic, in the defense of national sovereignty, integrity and security.

The ministry also recalls that "the participation of the People’s National Army outside the country’s borders is a decision of the Algerian people, in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of the Republic." The MDN says it is convinced that these "intoxications can only come from ignoramuses in the pay of the Moroccan Makhzen and Zionist services."
