A former Algerian diplomat criticises Morocco's strategy for regional power following the migrant exodus to Ceuta, arguing it represents a risk to stability.
Amar Belani, former Algerian ambassador to Brussels, analyses the exodus of thousands of people to Ceuta and points to Morocco's "obsessive" and "dangerous" intention to exercise regional power, claiming a "disregard for law" and "stability".
Belani analyses what he describes as a Moroccan strategy that rests on three pillars, according to his assessment of the events that marked the migration crisis.
Algerian customs authorities seized €12,000 from a passenger arriving from Lyon during a check at Sétif airport.
Algeria is strengthening operations against clandestine emigration and trafficking groups operating along its coast, according to decisions made at a Ministry of Interior meeting.
Hundreds of migrants who recently entered Ceuta protested demanding asylum instead of being returned to Morocco, while Spanish authorities face criticism over humanitarian conditions.
