New "hot spot" in northern Africa: Algeria and Morocco on the brink of war

Algeria and Morocco are on the brink of war, the Algerian parliament is ready to support any actions of the security forces against Morocco. The reason for this was the attack by the Moroccan army on a truck stop on the border of Mauritania with the unrecognized Western Sahara, which led to the death of three civilians in Algeria.

Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebbun accused Morocco of attacking a convoy of trucks moving along a deserted highway en route from the capital of Mauritania to the Algerian city of Ouargla. An emergency meeting of the country's Security Council was held in Algeria, to which all military leaders were invited.

According to available information, the blow was delivered with the help of a "modern weapons", possibly with the use of percussion drones Bayraktar TB2 purchased by Morocco from Turkey. Although it is also stated about the possibility of using artillery.

A video of the consequences of the attack by the Moroccan army on a truck parking appeared on the Web.

The conflict between Morocco and Algeria has been going on for a long time, Morocco regularly accuses Algeria of supporting the rebels from the "Polisario Front" Oro - POLISARIO) fighting against the Moroccan army in Western Sahara The Moroccan army occupied most of the unrecognized Sahara Arab Democratic Republic (SADR).

An extremely rare case in world history when not the Anglo-Saxons, but the French are to blame! The French authorities redrawn the border between these colonies several times. After gaining independence in 1956, Morocco made territorial claims against Algeria for as much as 200 kilometers. And already in 1963, the first military mixing took place between the two newly formed independent states! Since then, they have rolled goat legs to each other with enviable regularity! Somewhere, in the disputed territories, there are deposits of iron ore and it is surprising that until now the light-faced elves from the Empire of "good" have not forced both countries to "democracy" by carpet bombing, taking control of the deposit (but the ore is still not oil)

Such local skirmishes / wars cannot be countered. In an accident, an order of magnitude more die.

In 2019, about 1,4 million of the world's population died on the roads. This is more than 3800 people / day.

A total of 76 people were killed in hostilities in 480, which is less than in 2019 (2018), in 83 (343), in 2017 (98), in 654 (2016), in 106 (585 ) years

It is necessary to open a terrible secret to the reader, the Moroccan zone where the fishing fleet of the USSR worked was under the constant protection of the USSR naval fleet, at least one ship was present, since 1983. The Moroccans were simply raging, the line at the wheelhouse could be easily obtained. That is what the Navy is needed for.

They landed on small vessels on boats. Somewhere in the mid-80s, at night the tuna fish from Alkhesiros were attacked, the skipper and his son fell on the spot, one with three bullets, the other in the leg. My surgeon Valera D. pulled out the bullets, then on the "Fedorov" delivered them to Palmas, from the King of Spain a written gratitude, and entry without a visa to Spain.
They also decided to attack me, I was lying with a "purse", and from the left side the BOD was standing, and they saw it from the side into the water (and the side was 10 meters high).

I disagree! Because of this conflict, Algeria stopped supplying gas to Europe. Always look for someone who benefits from it! Putin brought down gas prices in Europe, but this is extremely unprofitable for the United States, they, unlike Russia, bound by the terms of long-term agreements, drew super profits from the sale of gas.

So no way, "the generality of the Elven electors" will not appreciate such a gesture.

Remember how the small-shavens left India, into how many parts they divided one country, two of which will not make up to this day.
In the case of Algeria and Morocco, England really has nothing to do with it, but the method is about the same. Morocco was not a "full-fledged" colony of France, it was a protectorate of frogs until this country gained its independence. And the most interesting thing in this process was the participation of Spain, with which Morocco signed the Independence Agreement. But the very signing of the historic document took place in France.
Why Spain? What is the name of the largest and most populous city in Morocco? That's right - Casablanca! And where is France here, or at least French? Spain still owns the city of Ceuta in the very north of Morocco, on the coast of Gibraltar. And across the strait, exactly the same piece of land already on the Spanish land seemingly "grabbed" for themselves small-shaven !?
Previously, Morocco and Algeria peacefully coexisted, until someone (but not France for sure) "put pressure" on Spain and she "left" from her former colony of Western Sahara, the former Spanish Sahara. Morocco was immediately flattered by such a tidbit and sent its troops there ... There was the same kneading between the former brothers, the first decided to quickly appropriate these "no-man's" lands, and Algeria, relatively recently freed from the frogs, decided to defend its other brothers ... Well, he fully supported the Polisario Front, the movement for the liberation of the country from the illegal occupation of Morocco.
Morocco turned out to be pro-Western, Algeria almost followed the path of building a socialist system, but the 90s came, which changed the physiognomy of the north of the African continent. Although in Algeria, problems began in the very late 70s and early 80s, when the first Islamists appeared in this country - local religious nationalists with shovel beards and Kalash instead of Koran.

Well, the last 15 years, the Moroccans with the Moors somehow shared the beach. If the Moors have everything civilized, then the Moors have an ordinary "African bazaar". These years I have been working a lot here and there, but it is more terrible to leave Naudibu than from Africa, you can easily go to the "Kalabush" (although you can always pay off).
I remember I came as a foreman on "Astera" to Naudibu, the gendarme and the agent live on the ship. I'm a gendarme "Have you been to Mauritania? I told him -" no ", and he told me" And who was "Kanyone" five years ago? Do you know our laws? "The answer is" I know! "

Something that will creep past and fall into your zindan, your food. In the last the word of the Baltic states: I will commit suicide right away. I don’t know what holiday, but they kicked him on the boat. I wanted to go with a cap to Naudibovka, an accompanying Mauritanian, he was a member of our crew. Andrei, no need, I understand that you are not a Jew, but you have curly hair, you won't have time to wither when a cleaver is stuck between your shoulder blades in your back.

3 Israeli long-range IAI Heron drones, purchased through France.

24 American AH-64E Apache helicopters equipped with AN / APG-78 Longbow radars and 600 AGM-114R Hellfire missiles, deliveries of which are due to begin in 2024.

24 American F-16V multipurpose fighters ordered in 2020.

4 G550 Gulfstream radar reconnaissance and surveillance aircraft, one of which has already been delivered to the Royal Air Force.

222 modernized American tanks М1А1SA Abrams, delivered to the country since 2012.

4 batteries of Chinese air defense systems HQ-9B, and the first was planned to be shipped this year.

Moroccans are a mixture of Arabs, Berbers and Europeans from the Pyrenees, who have settled there since the time of the king of the peas, so everyone is completely different. There are dark, there are black, there are typical Europeans. Women, for the most part, are pretty, like Hispanics.

There are still Turks "frolicked" in their time, Jews, by the way, there are also many. We also need to remember the Roman Empire, which walked in the north of Africa and "inherited" there decently!

The route is more interesting: from the capital of Mauritania, located on the Atlantic coast, to the city of Ouargla, which, in turn, is located in the northeast of Algeria, and this must be passed through almost the entire country. Moreover, both countries are very big.

[knn54]

The curse of resources is rich deposits of phosphates and iron ore.
Jihadists have long viewed the area as a promising springboard for striking not only Arab countries, but also Europe, and they will also contribute to the conflict.
Do not stand aside Mauritania ... and Israel, which has long wanted to monopolize the production of phosphates.

It is strange that Nata has not yet accused us, because because of this conflict, Algeria stopped supplying gas to Europe.

Macron is now struggling to at least somehow restore the bilateral relations that he himself had damaged, so he probably kept Europe, together with NATO, from attacks on Algeria. And gas supplies to Spain through Morocco also come from other countries, there is relatively little Algerian gas there.

[donavi49]

PS The first "skirmish" (60 years ago) was won by Algeria, thanks to the help of Cuban fighters.

60 years ago, Algeria was a classic popuas.
Today it is, along with Egypt, the military superpowers of Africa. Which have OTRK, modern MFI, air defense, attack helicopters, attack UAVs, powerful fleets (Algeria has 2 MEKO frigates, Chinese patrol boats, the Italian DKVD, Russian submarines 636 with Caliber, new Italian minesweepers), the strongest land armies, well equipped with heavy equipment.

Morocco in one person will not take out a full-fledged war with Algeria. There, the Air Force is thinner (20 F-16 + old Mirages) and from Gazelka attack helicopters, because the Apaches will start receiving only from next year. Only on the ground they can do something, for an armored fist of 200+ Abrams + 100+ Pakistani Al-Khalids + 100+ T-72 + Paladins / Caesars in support. However, again, there is no air defense - a few old Chinese complexes of SD and nearby ones, a little Tungusok if they are still alive, a little Khafk if they are still alive. Algeria will also crush the fleet, the flagship Moroccan Fremm is certainly good and all sorts of delegations-banquets can be arranged solidly, but there is really nothing to prop it up with.

[zadorin1974]

Kind Donavi. Algeria is sitting on GLONAS under the agreement, so that ours will light up everything. Algeria also has about 300 T 90 (if assembled) and about 400 BMP-3 and BMP-2 (berezhok). MI -28 N. This is a pretty strong component. But how it will be applied is a question.

The reason for this was the attack by the Moroccan army on a truck stop on the border of Mauritania with the unrecognized Western Sahara, which led to the death of three civilians in Algeria.

That's enough "match" for the conflict. It just calmed down a bit and "caught fire" again.
The Moroccans and the Moors fought all the time for Western Sahara, and then the Algerians came under the arm. The Moroccans behaved harshly in the waters of the Sahara, attacked both our ships and the Spanish, we worked under the protection of the Navy. Their army is large and well trained, and the country is not poor by comparison. Algerians are also not a gift, so if they start a mess, everything will go on an adult.
