Moroccan officials and experts have condemned allegations promoted by Algerian media accusing Morocco of plotting to destabilize Egypt as baseless and fabricated.
The claims center on an alleged falsified correspondence between the Moroccan Embassy in Cairo and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rabat. The document, widely circulated by Algerian propaganda outlets, alleges that Morocco is working to incite public opinion against the Egyptian government.
Observers dismissed the allegations, with Algerian political activist Chawki Benzahra describing the claims as an attempt to distract from Algeria’s mounting domestic crises. “The falsity of the document is evident, and it has failed to gain any significant traction in Egypt,” Benzahra told Hespress AR.
“The aim is to drive a wedge between Morocco and its regional partners, particularly Egypt, while diverting attention from Algeria’s internal problems.”
He added that such propaganda reflects Algeria’s frustrations over its waning influence and its failed efforts in the Western Sahara dispute.
Researcher Jawad Kassimi also refuted the allegations, stating that the document is a clear forgery. He highlighted inconsistencies in the language and structure, pointing out that the purported recipient department does not exist within Morocco’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Kassimi argued that Algeria views Moroccan-Egyptian cooperation on regional issues as a threat to its own stance. “These fabricated claims are another desperate attempt to hinder Morocco’s progress and regional role,” he said.
The accusations come amid increasing Moroccan regional influence, marked by its mediation efforts in conflicts in Libya, Burkina Faso, and Niger. Experts warn that Algeria’s continued dissemination of misinformation could harm its credibility and strain its relations with neighboring countries.
