The “Kaberan” regime plays its last “sovereign” cards to urge the United States to retract its “non-negotiable” recognition.
In an effort to dissuade the U.S. administration from moving forward with the final closure of the Moroccan Sahara file, the Minister of State, Minister of Energy, Mining, and Renewable Energies, Mohamed Arkab, received the U.S. Ambassador to Algeria, Elizabeth Moore Aubin, in the presence of the CEO of Sonatrach, Rachid Hachichi, and officials from the ministry, according to a statement from the ministry.
The statement from the Kaberan State emphasizes that the meeting is part of enhancing cooperation and strategic partnership between Algeria and the United States, particularly in the fields of energy, mining, and renewable energy. However, the reality indicates that the Algerian military regime is playing its last “sovereign” cards to obscure international recognition, especially from the U.S., regarding Moroccan sovereignty over the Sahara.
This meeting comes just days after the Algerian ambassador to the United States, Sabri Boukadoum, gave an interview to an American website, revealing that Algeria is willing to put its “rare mineral resources at the disposal of the Trump administration.”
This statement from a senior Algerian official clearly reveals the Algerian regime’s strategy of using its natural resources as a pressure tool in international negotiations, particularly with the United States, aiming to convince Washington to withdraw its recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara.
Algeria, which has long supported the Polisario Front in its quest for independence from Morocco, seeks through these statements to change the position of major powers regarding the Moroccan Sahara issue. It is evident that the Algerian regime is attempting by all means to turn the conflict into a politically negotiable file, using its natural resources as a bargaining chip in international negotiations.
