The Morocco-Algerian conflict has had a devastating implications on the native Amazigh communities in both states. This is a community that has long been marginalized and discriminated against by both the regimes.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

For decades, Morocco and Algeria’s relationship has been marked by hostility, and over the past few years, the level of verbal attacks has escalated to the point that there were actually concern these actions could escalate the conflict into military confrontation between the two powers. Morocco and Algeria’s land border has already been closed since 1994. Algerian airspace was closed to Moroccan flights, and Algeria refused to extend the contract for the gas pipeline, which transported gas to Spain through Morocco.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While both countries share almost the same language, culture, and religion, we can longer pretend that the conflict is just between the two regimes, it is time to admit that this tension is influencing how people from both countries think about each-other.\u00a0<\/span>The new generations are being influenced by the propaganda and fake news from social media from both parties. While we can\u2019t say that propaganda is\u00a0 <\/span>propagated by both governments but pro-government media on both sides routinely denigrate and mock other country’s major problems and focus on each other’s domestic failures and internal affairs. And while there are groups professing and promoting brotherly sentiments between both people it is obvious that this is changing as people from both sides accuse each other of stirring conflict.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2019, the four nations of North Africa recently put aside their disagreements and joined forces in an effort to have the traditional Amazigh couscous recognized as a UNESCO world heritage dish.<\/a><\/p>\n
