Algerian Sovereignty Under Siege: France’s Aggressive Campaign Against Algerian Nationals and Sovereignty

BY: Dr. Hana Saada

Algiers, Algeria | January 07th, 2025 — In a disturbing turn of events, sources within Dzair Tube confirm that France has launched an alarming, systematic campaign aimed at falsely accusing and detaining Algerians residing on French soil. This sweeping operation, orchestrated in collaboration with certain disloyal Algerians, including known collaborators, such as Chaouki Ben Zahra—dubbed “the traitor” —has sparked outrage within the Algerian public and government alike. The French authorities’ actions represent a deliberate and unjustified assault on Algerian sovereignty, with implications far beyond simple political maneuvering.

The initiative is part of a broader and more sinister strategy executed in coordination with the Moroccan embassy in France. The goal: to target Algerian expatriates who participated in last year’s March 19 celebrations in France, commemorating Algeria’s victory in the War of Liberation. These Algerians, proud of their heritage, have now found themselves targeted by a campaign that seeks to vilify and undermine their dignity, all under the guise of fabricated charges.

Collaboration with Hostile Forces

Among those spearheading this campaign is Chaouki Ben Zahra, an infamous figure who has consistently sided with anti-Algerian interests, having been labelled a “puppet” by many political observers. His role has been reported as that of a willing collaborator, working in direct communication with top French officials, including the French Minister of the Interior, to facilitate the unjust detention of innocent Algerians.

These actions have now morphed into a full-fledged attack on Algeria’s national pride. The French government, led by President Emmanuel Macron, has openly descended into an orchestrated smear campaign, escalating its rhetoric and its hostile stance towards Algeria. Macron’s recent inflammatory remarks, which have drawn sharp rebuke from Algerian officials, are the latest in a series of provocations aimed at undermining Algeria’s independence.

A Tightening Grip of Colonial Reflexes

The extent of this French onslaught reveals the persistence of colonial attitudes in certain political circles, long after Algeria’s hard-won independence. Macron’s public disparagement of Algeria is indicative of a broader geopolitical agenda that seeks to maintain an overarching influence over the former colony, ignoring the immense strides Algeria has made in asserting its sovereignty.

Algeria’s Defiant Stand

In the face of these coordinated attacks, Algeria has responded with resolute defiance. The Algerian people have once again rallied around their government, demonstrating unwavering solidarity in protecting their nation’s honor. The Algerian Parliament, represented by the People’s National Assembly (APN), has issued a strong statement denouncing France’s unwarranted and reckless actions, affirming the country’s position of non-interference in its internal affairs.

Algeria’s stance is clear: it will not tolerate any foreign interference, especially from France, which continues to exhibit colonial-era behaviors towards the Algerian people. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune’s administration has made it abundantly clear that Algeria will uphold its sovereignty at all costs and will continue to resist all efforts to undermine its progress.

The relentless targeting of Algerian nationals in France is not just an attack on individuals but on Algeria’s sovereignty and dignity as a nation. France’s actions are part of a broader, politically motivated agenda designed to sow discord and weaken Algeria’s global standing. However, the unified response from the Algerian people, as well as the firm stand of the government, serves as a testament to Algeria’s strength and unwavering commitment to its national integrity. Algeria will not stand by as its citizens are unjustly persecuted, and it will continue to resist any form of foreign interference with the same resilience that defined its struggle for independence.
