Algerian diplomacy has managed the feat, almost impossible, to gather around the table all the actors involved in the Malian crisis. These eight months of talks have been finalized in Algiers by an agreement of the utmost importance, constituting the first step on the path to stability in Mali, despite the incessant attempts by some countries and occult forces to derail these agreements greeted today by the international community. Meanwhile, Algeria has initiated the start of talks between the Libyan belligerents, while Libya, where the presence of the state is non-existent, has become an out of control territory and the source of all dangers. The various Libyan actors compete in a long civil war since 2011 have accepted the Algerian mediation. The Algerian state has always favored political solutions because they are the only ones that persist in the long term, unlike military interventions, especially air strikes, which reported no tangible result, causing the contrary destruction and desolation. The masquerade coalition supposedly at war against Daech in Iraq has also shown that its bombing had totally failed, except in their arms supplies and food to the terrorist forces. NATO and headed France, will forever liability chaos in Libya, the consequences are disastrous for the entire African continent, it is Algeria, only stable countries in the region, repairs the damage caused by an adventurous interventions Fafa that never healed its colonialist ambitions. Security of Algeria is dependent on the stability of Libya and Mali, achieving significant results on these difficult issues stems from a great work of Algerian intelligence services working in the field covering almost the entire Sahel region -maghrébine. Unfortunately, it seems that it is only Algeria, which assumes this daunting task, everyone is washing their hands the fate of Libya, remember, has become the epicenter of the instability prevailing in Maghreb and Sahel, the recent Boko Haram allegiance to Daech allowing the Islamic state now cover all of Africa. Taking the hand in Mali and Libya folders, Algeria, initiating a dialogue between the opposing parties, become essential to everything that is done on African soil, including its counterterrorism reports results with the elimination almost daily groups or dangerous terrorists through the experience of security forces and DRS remains true black box of all that is happening in Africa and the world. Once again, Algeria has shown the capacity of its army and security forces at the time of the attacks we see in all African countries and the huge groups nuisance capacity mainly from Libya. Algeria is known to solve the problem of terrorism, we must act in two stages: first eradicate groups with an effective intelligence work and then activate diplomacy alone can solve political problems by avoiding foreign intervention worsen the situation. The recent attack in Tunisia reveals the fragility of some countries, the case of Tunisia is exemplary of the weakness of the state despite the fact that the West takes to present it as a model to justify the legitimacy of the “Arab Spring “. The borders between Libya and Tunisia and some southern African countries that do not control anything, unveiled their porosity with the return of more than 400 Tunisian jihadists income of Syria, and the fluid movement of terrorists from Iraq and Syria to Libya and then to Tunisia and other countries of the Sahel confirms what we said in a previous article about the redeployment Daech to Libya. We must act accordingly, and that’s what the Algeria competently, reviving diplomatic tradition recognized around the world.
The Moroccan regime has yet wanted to compete with the Algerian diplomatic school in order to scuttle the current processes, while he has no expertise in counterterrorism and does not occupy the same geographical or geostrategic position, Morocco having no common border with Libya, Mali and Tunisia. The Moroccan monarchy seems to forget that Algeria has not chosen to be surrounded by unstable countries mostly devoid of army. What therefore seeking the King of Morocco wanting to interfere in processes that relate only to the internal security of Algeria as it faces a chaotic situation for thousands of kilometers component its borders? Need I remind you that this problem directly interested in the internal security of the Algerian nation first of all, followed by the suggestion of the African continent? Algeria does not seek a leadership position and Morocco should stop interfering in a story that is not within its jurisdiction. His only neighboring countries being Algeria and Western Sahara, the King of Morocco should be concerned to stop flooding in Algeria with tons of cannabis and enable the Saharawi people to exercise their legitimate right to self-determination . The Western Sahara issue, like that of Palestine, is one of the last cases of colonization which absolutely must be solved and which will sooner or later, despite the stubbornness of the Moroccan regime to maintain its domination over a territory that does not belong. Mohamed VI has also received several slights by the Secretary General of the United Nations, the African Union, the Spanish government and even Switzerland, which opposed the recent holding of plagiarism Forum Crans Montana, illegally held by Morocco in Dakhla, Western Sahara under Moroccan occupation city. The French former Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy it is presented as UN envoy, forcing Ban Ki-Moon to take a firm position by declaring that Dakhla is not a Moroccan city and Douste-Blazy represented not the UN. Even reaction of Spanish Foreign Minister has insisted that its nationals present in this so-called forum represented themselves and in any case the Spanish state. Douste-Blazy and how the other guests were they paid by the King of Morocco to participate in this scam? So with one voice, except that of France, of course, that this “forum” has been criticized and perpetual hysteria attacks of the Moroccan regime towards Algeria, according to him solely responsible for the disrepute into where he immersed himself in the world’s eyes by denying self-determination of the people of Western Sahara, within infantilism and prove its inability to understand the rules of realpolitik established according to the interests of nations and can s adapt to new circumstances as we see now with the 360 ° turn made by the US administration vis-à-vis its relations with Iran, Hezbollah or Bashar al-Assad.
Following the chaos in Libya generated by the irresponsibility of France and NATO, the Libyan conflict has spread throughout the Sahel region, including Mali, where the Tuaregs rebelled again against the Malian government and claimed their independence. Different alliances developed and settled among the various factions that have taken control of several towns like Kidal and Menaka, facing the Malian forces in a bloody conflict and dipping northeast Mali in an extremely perilous imbroglio for the stability of Mali but also source of danger to the security of Algeria, through the 1376 km from its southern border in the Sahara. At the request of the Malian President Ibrahim Boubacar Keita, who during his visit to Algiers January 19, 2014, solemnly asked President Abdelaziz Bouteflika of Algeria that facilitates inter-Malian dialogue under the Ouagadougou Agreement of 18 June 2013 Algeria has led immediately preparatory consultations with the various belligerents to lay the groundwork for a dialogue between the different parties involved. The Algiers Declaration calling for a consensus between the armed groups, the MNLA (National Liberation Movement of Azawad), the MAA (Arab Movement of Azawad) and the HCUA (High Council for the unity of Azawad ), was concluded June 9, 2014 and adopted by the three Secretaries-General of these groups, constituting the first step towards the consolidation of a cease-fire previously signed on May 23 between the parties and establishing the basis of negotiations between Tuaregs and the Malian government. In the process, the representatives of the MNLA, MAA and HCUA signed on 14 June in Algiers a platform recognizing “the territorial integrity and national unity of Mali”, one of Bamako requirements for dialogue with groups Tuareg armed North. The first negotiations were held in Algiers from 16 to 24 July 2014 and allowed the consensual adoption by the Government of Mali and Tuareg rebels a roadmap to cease hostilities in the country, supported by the Council of UN Security that created the parallel MINUSMA to facilitate the implementation of the cease-fire agreement.
After months of talks and negotiations in Algiers, a historic agreement for peace and reconciliation between the Malian government and the various movements Azawad has been concluded March 1, 2015, raising hopes the final settlement of a conflict that might lead to the breakup of Mali. The document was signed by the Malian government representatives, representatives of the movements of northern Mali involved in the Platform of Algiers and the mediation team, during a ceremony held in Hotel El Aurassi in Algiers with representatives of the US and French governments. “The peace and reconciliation signed Sunday in Algiers is the result of a long and intense negotiations conducted within the framework of the Algiers process between Malian parties to achieve a comprehensive and lasting solution to the conflict in the region northern Mali, “says the declaration of the Algerian mediation. “The dialogue through five rounds of discussion was transparent, open and inclusive, talks were conducted with determination, insight, patience and dedication and full availability by a broadly representative team of the international community. Through this agreement, the conflicting parties are firmly committed to ending the crisis in Mali through dialogue and seal national reconciliation in full respect of the territorial integrity, national unity and the secular nature and the republican form of Mali. “The CMA (of Azawad Movements Coordination), however, refused to sign the agreement, calling time to consult its base but denying in any way the terms of the agreement. Following consultation of its base, 18 March, the CMA released a statement in which it does not affect the overall architecture of the agreement but asks the Mediation “kindly consider a number of observations, to allow it to proceed with the signing of the agreement. ” After a visit Tuesday in Kidal by a broad delegation, mediation, while taking note of the requests and the position of the CMA, said that “the procedure of initialling committed to Algiers, March 1, means that the negotiation is completed. ” She also said that “the agreement does not pretend to solve both immediate and all the problems,” noting that “some of the comments made by the Coordination could be validly supported in part the implementation of the agreement. “
In addition, the first meeting of the inter-Libyan dialogue initiated by Algeria was held last March 10 and 11 in Algiers under the aegis of the United Nations, in the presence of a dozen influential people on the Libyan scene representatives of the various Libyan factions, political leaders and party leaders. This meeting has been ratified by the Algiers Declaration in which participants pledged to respect the political process and dialogue for the settlement of the crisis in Libya. The Personal Representative of the Secretary General of the UN, Bernardino Leon and Minister Algerian delegate for Maghreb and African Affairs Abdelkader Messahel, said during a press conference closing the meeting, that it is a first very promising policy. The Algeria “which shares with the sister Libya neighborly relations, the struggle against colonialism and a common history, could not sit idly by while the Libyan brothers were experiencing fitna,” said A. Messahel adding that “Algeria has spared no effort to support the brothers in Libya and work to unify the ranks and find a solution to the crisis in this country.” Rejecting any foreign intervention in the internal affairs of Libya, participants wanted to send “a clear message strong and united as to their commitment to continue the dialogue as the only solution to the crisis in Libya,” while asserting their ” rejection of violence as a means to resolve political differences. ” They further expressed their “rejection of the military escalation in all its forms and requested an immediate halt to all military operations to allow the dialogue to continue in a climate”. Pledging to “defend the territorial unity of Libya, sovereignty, independence and their rejection of any foreign interference” they insisted that military action would inevitably lead to the destabilization of the entire Libya and would lead inevitably affect neighboring countries. Noting the dire security conditions and acts of terrorism that threaten the security, stability and unity of Libya, it was felt necessary to concentrate efforts in the fight against terrorism in all its forms, as they wished “taking security measures that guarantee a permanent cease-fire and the withdrawal of armed militias from all the cities.” Participants also pledged to rebuild the security forces, the army and the police so that they can guarantee the security of Libyans and territorial security. Algerian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ramtane Lamamra, said he was satisfied with the outcome of the meeting and the quality of debate that demonstrated the complexity of the Libyan crisis. He called on the Libyan parties to work together “through a peaceful approach to accelerate the consensual solution as expected by the brotherly Libyan people.” The position of the players on the field joined the Libyan mink Algeria, which opposes any foreign interference in the internal affairs of countries, inalienable principle of Algerian foreign policy has always emphasized the sovereignty of nations. Algerian diplomacy is a true school of patriotism with a long experience in the resolution of the various conflicts in the world, finds its glorious colors.
The West, led by France with its “elite” intellectual who called for NATO intervention in Libya and who are silent today are the direct responsibility of Libya and Mali drama. The Sarkozy, Bernard-Henri Levy and others should be tried for dismantling the Libyan state, replicating what was done by American neocons in Iraq. The destruction of the Libyan state has brought us to where we are and was very expensive, not just in Libya but the whole world. Today, Libya has become a hub of international terrorism. Algerian roadmap is the only valid for the settlement of the crisis, whether in the Sahel and Libya and to this end, it is necessary that the so-called international community is seriously involved in favor of mechanisms that Algeria trying to put in place. Become more involved means helping Algeria to politically settle Libyan and Malian issues, not by military intervention claimed by some countries with no border with Libya and that will only strengthen the instability instead of adjusting the many problems. If Algeria has shown its determination to fight against terrorism in a ruthless manner, that is not the case in France, which has earned a reputation as a “pig pays” around the world by paying ransoms astronomical, thereby financing terrorism
The issue of refugees should be treated by this “thing” about the UN and all international bodies. It is incumbent on the international community to resolve the crisis of millions of displaced who roam neighboring countries following the NATO intervention in Libya. The issue of terrorist financing by Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Friends of the West, must also be put on the table once and for all. It is also imperative to put an end to the activities of Western intelligence services and their allies Qatari, Saudi, and Israeli handlers terrorism for political ends. Recall adventurism of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, a candidate for the post of President of the United States, which made him lose his ambassador Christopher Stevens because the CIA trouble game in Libya. It is time to stop playing with fire. We must punish countries that sponsor terrorism by interest and not ignore their occult actions. If Algeria with his army is winning on many fronts in the fight against terrorism and diplomatically through experience, prestige and weight in the African continent, it is necessary that other countries also lend a hand pulp and support existing processes as the key to stability in the Sahel in Africa but also in Europe, are located primarily in Algeria.
