Algeria has reacted with visible frustration to the United Kingdom’s official support for Morocco’s autonomy plan in the Sahara, denouncing the move as “regrettable” and accusing London of endorsing a so-called “colonial fait accompli.”
The response, issued by Algeria’s Foreign Ministry on June 1, reflects a regime increasingly sidelined on the international stage and clinging to a rigid, outdated narrative.
The condemnation followed UK Foreign Secretary David Lammy’s visit to Rabat, where Britain joined a growing list of global powers, including the United States, France, Spain, and Germany, that view Morocco’s 2007 autonomy initiative as the most credible and pragmatic basis for resolving the regional dispute.
Algeria doubled down on its rejectionism, describing the plan as “empty” and aimed at obstructing negotiations, claims that stand at odds with broad international support for the initiative.
Algeria derided Britain’s position as “contradictory” and demanded it “hold Morocco accountable.”
