Algeria: 61 Moroccans Arrested for Alleged Acts of Sabotage

Algerian authorities arrested 61 Moroccan nationals earlier this month, suspected of planning acts of sabotage against security and public order. The General Directorate of National Security (DGSN) described it as an international Moroccan criminal network, including a former Moroccan soldier, who entered Algeria via mountain trails from Tunisia. Tensions between Algeria and Morocco have persisted for years, mainly over the Western Sahara dispute, with Morocco claiming the territory and Algeria supporting the Polisario Front.
