Mohamed El Ghaly, a professor of political science at Cadi Ayyad University in Marrakech, said that “the royal speech, on the occasion of the Throne Day, sent a clear message to Algeria that Morocco is not interested in escalation or reciprocally responding to provocations.”
Speaking to Hespress, ElGhali explained that the royal speech was Morocco's quest for the outstretched hand policy towards Algeria and its strong commitment to the principles of good neighborliness.
Al-Ghali pointed out that the King's assertion not to allow anyone because of Algeria and the Algerians is a call to Moroccans in the media and social media not to respond in kind to Algerian provocations because they do not mean anything to the Moroccan people.
According to El Ghaly, King Mohammed VI sent a new message to Algeria that the two peoples had a common destiny.
Al-Ghali considered that the successes achieved by Moroccan diplomacy, under the leadership of King Mohammed VI, with regard to the file of our territorial integrity make him not interested in any escalation with Algeria,
with the aspiration to build a shared future that serves the Moroccan and Algerian peoples, noting that the King’s message to Algeria is an invitation to arbitrate reason and stay away from Anything that would ignite discord between the two peoples.
King Mohammed VI, in his throne speech, Saturday evening, devoted an essential space to talking about the relationship with Algeria.
King Mohammed VI said that "the borders that separate the two brotherly peoples, Moroccan and Algerian, will never be borders that close the atmosphere of communication and understanding between them."
"We want them to be bridged, to hold in their hands the future of Morocco and Algeria, and to give an example to other Maghreb peoples," he added.
“On this occasion, I call upon Moroccans to continue to display the values of brotherhood, solidarity, and good neighborliness, which bind us to our Algerian brothers; We assure them that they will always find Morocco and the Moroccans on their side, in all circumstances and conditions.”
He added, "As for the allegations, which accuse the Moroccans of insulting Algeria and the Algerians, those who carry them out, in an irresponsible way, want to ignite the fire of strife between the two brotherly peoples."
The King stressed that “what is said about Moroccan-Algerian relations is unreasonable and heartbreaking. We have not and will not allow anyone to offend our brothers and neighbors.”
He also affirmed Morocco's keenness to get out of this situation and to enhance rapprochement, communication, and understanding between the two peoples.
He expressed his aspiration to work with the Algerian presidency to put Morocco and Algeria hand in hand to establish normal relations between two brotherly peoples, united by historical and human ties and a common destiny.
