Algerian television censored the insulting words spoken by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune against the Algerian writer Boualem Sansal, who was arrested and accused of “harming the territorial integrity of Algeria.”
The video clip that was deleted was in which Tebboune insulted Sansal, considering him a thief, without origin, without a known father, etc., and considered him an envoy (certainly from France, where Sansal resides and has nationality).
Tebboune justified his insults with what Sansal had said in an interview of a cultural nature about the fact that eastern present-day Algeria was historically Moroccan territory whose inhabitants were linked to Morocco.
In this context, the journalist Najib Komina said in a blog post on Facebook, “Tebboune’s cursing of Salsal came after elements known to be associated with Algerian intelligence, including Bensedira, came out to spread the rumor that Salsal’s father is Moroccan, in order to divert attention from the historical facts he said that would demolish the miserable narrative that the Algerian regime seeks.” To make it establish an identity.”
He added, “With his spontaneous statement, Salsal revealed the fragility of his identities and explains many of the pathological actions of the Algerian regime towards Morocco, Tunisia and the rest of the neighborhood, as well as towards Algeria’s internal components, and the latter will not delay in detonating the regional conflict that had exploded at the beginning of Algeria’s independence, as it was controlled by force and “By exploiting sand warfare.”
