Western Sahara: Mohammed VI criticizes Algeria
King Mohammed VI criticized Algeria, without mentioning it, in his speech delivered Wednesday November 6 on the occasion of the 49th anniversary of the colonization of Western Sahara, called in Morocco the “ Green Walk ».
Without naming her, he criticized her position on Western Sahara. “ Some are still calling for a referendum to be held, despite the abandonment of this option by the United Nations due to its inapplicability. “, declared King Mohammed VI, which is the first attack against Algeria in years.
Usually, the Moroccan sovereign extends the hand of reconciliation to Algeria, but the decision of French President Emmanuel Macron to recognize Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara has visibly changed the situation.
Kaylia Nemour's triumphant return to competition
Algerian Olympic gymnastics champion Kaylia Nemour made a triumphant return to competition on Wednesday. The 17-year-old gymnast won the Arthur Gander Memorial in Chiasso, Switzerland, for the first time.
The Paris 2024 Olympic gold medalist finished in first place after scoring 14.900 on the uneven bars, 13.750 on the balance beam and 13.700 on the vault.
In 2023, Kaylia Nemour finished in 3rd place in this prestigious prize which brings together high-level gymnasts every year.
Algeria resumes trade with Spain
After several months of blockage and difficulties, Algeria resumed trade with Spain. The Bank of Algeria recalled in a note dated November 6 that the “ bank domiciliation operations of foreign trade operations from and to Spain, must be processed in accordance with current exchange regulations. »
This note was addressed to the banks. It was widely shared on social media on Wednesday. It means the end of the trade blockade with Spain.
In June 2022, Algeria froze commercial operations, with the exception of gas, with Spain, after the historic turnaround of the Madrid government on the question of Western Sahara.
Algeria – France: frozen trade?
Has Algeria frozen trade with France? Since Tuesday, officially unconfirmed information has been circulating on the refusal of Algerian banks to domicile import and export operations with France, in a context of sharp deterioration in political and economic relations between the two countries.
An unauthenticated document is circulating on social networks reporting the Algerian decision to freeze trade with France, but no official source has denied or confirmed the existence of such a measure.
In business circles, there is general confusion. France is an important trading partner of Algeria. It is its second supplier after China. In 2023, trade between the two countries will exceed 11 billion euros.
War in Gaza: the strong gesture of PSG supporters in favor of the Palestinians
The PSG ultras displayed a huge banner in support of the Palestinians in Gaza during the match against Atlético Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes in Paris.
On the giant tifo which covered a large part of the stadium stands is written in large letters “ Free Palestine », with the photo of the Al-Quds mosque, the third holiest site in Islam after the mosques of Mecca and Medina. At the bottom of the banner, we can read: “ War on the ground, peace in the world ».
The Representative Council of Jewish Institutions of France (Crif) was quick to react to denounce a “ scandalous banner », and demand sanctions against the authors of this strong gesture by the supporters of the most important French club in favor of the Palestinians.
