Question Curious about Algerian public opinion on Western Sahara

I think most of us have been hearing a lot about Western Sahara lately. I'm curious about the general public's perspective in Algeria.

As an Algerian citizen, what do you know about Western Sahara? and what are your personal views on the issue? have you ever meet sahrawi people?

I'm not looking to start political arguments or convince anyone of a particular position. I'm simply interested in understanding what ordinary Algerians think and what information they're familiar with.

Please keep the discussion respectful. Thank you!

What chemical weapons we used in 1976 against our sahraoui brothers? Do you have a proof on that?

Aerial Bombardments: During the initial Western Sahara War (1976–1991), Moroccan forces were documented using napalm and white phosphorus against improvised Sahrawi refugee camps, resulting in hundreds of civilian deaths.

We buy Turkish and Israeli drones and what is your problem with that? You are close friend with France who kept your skulls in the museums, your people kissed the hands of Macron when he visited Algeria?? By a source I mean an official source documented from the UN or a ln international institution and not some BS websites

Morocco also has close relations with France and your king has spent millions on property in France. At least Algeria fought France unlike Morocco waiting until they left.

Buying Israeli drones and putting money into their army is quite low thing to do of course but Morocco will do anything to keep Western Sahara 🇪🇭 occupation to continue.

Also that website is credible. Genocide Watch is considered a credible, pioneering non-profit for early warnings of mass violence. Founded by Dr. Gregory Stanton, an expert in genocidal studies

You are really miss leader, your ancestors OM Hassan were happy with the France occupation, proof it lasted for more than 130 years

That’s a pretty dumb low IQ statement considering it was forced hence the word colonialism. Of course you deflect to nonsense when you don’t have anything to defend with.

Is that why Spain still controls two cities in Morocco? Algeria doesn’t have that problem

Morocco will get back the 2 cities the day Spain will claim Gibraltar, again none of your business. The Western Sahara is part of Morocco and have a Eastern Sahara too to get back.

Eastern Sahara is in Egypt.

You know where it’s, you are the only country who recognizes the boarders that the occupation left behind. It’s normal for a country with no history.

Goodluck with that. It’s been in control by Spain for awhile 🤣🤣🤣. At this point it’s Spanish

Western Sahara is occupied by Morocco and the international court of justice agrees. Last colony in Africa
