Sarkozy Backslides Again: “Algeria Is A Threat To Europe”
After a relative silence, the former French president, Nicolas Sarkozy, has returned to his favorite sport, to attack once again Algeria!
Indeed, this time, Sarkozy’s anti-Algerian rhetoric provided a further layer on the pseudo instability of the country’s security and economic situation which he described as a threat to the European continent due to its geographical proximity.
But what should we expect from a man who murdered Muammar Kaddafi and turned Libya into a large-scale war field left to terrorist hordes … certainly not any good!
Low-down media statements made by Sarkozy against Algeria are made to impress a certain vengeful France in preparation for the 2017 presidential election, as a possible return to power of Sarkozy would probably put the whole Mediterranean region in danger.
Especially since the latter has continued to praise Morocco and its King, to whom he wished a long life, affirming that this is the only stable country on the southern shore of the Mediterranean, adding that he was and still is for the “Moroccan Sahara.”
His recurrent vile attacks against Algeria and his declared fondness for the Monarchy in Rabat, which allowed France to secure a foothold in North Africa, turned Sarkozy into a frenzied advocate of the “Makhzen” notably at a conference hosted in January 2016 by the Emirati Center for strategic studies and research where he blamed Algeria for keeping its land border closed with its western neighbor.
But Sarkozy forgot to say that it is Morocco that stoked the hostilities by imposing a visa on Algerians and expelling forcibly, in August 1994, tourists and Algerian residents in the aftermath of a terror attack in Marrakesh, which it turned out, after proper investigations, that Algeria had nothing to do with it.
