Moroccan Flag Absent at CAF Champions League Match in Algeria, Sparking Controversy

Has Algeria deliberately chosen to trample on CAF rules? Is the Moroccan flag censored in Algeria? The Moroccan flag was absent from the July 5 stadium in Algiers where the match between Wydad Casablanca and JS Kabylie took place, while the Algerian flag was flying there. Everything suggests that it is a case of censorship. Not wanting to put up the Moroccan flag after the Wydad officials complained, the local authorities simply removed the Algerian flag.

This is not the first incident that has occurred in the context of this confrontation. The Algerian authorities confiscated the cameras of the journalists of AC Wydad, on their arrival at Houari Boumediene airport in Algiers, causing outrage among Moroccan Internet users.
