Algeria's Prosecutor Requests 10-Year Prison Sentence Against Boualem Sansal
Rabat – A public prosecutor in Algeria has requested a 10-year prison sentence against French-Algerian writer Boualem Sansal. AFP quoted the prosecutor, who is demanding a '10 years in prison and a fine of one million [Algerian] dinars.' The Court of Appeal will issue its verdict on the appeal case on July 1. An Algerian court initially sentenced Sansal to five years in prison in March. Police in Algeria arrested the author upon arrival in Algiers on November 16 last year. He was charged of undermining the country's territorial integrity. The arrest came after he made remarks in an interview that France unfairly ceded Moroccan territory to Algeria during the colonial era. Sansal appealed the court sentence, and his lawyer is not ruling out the possibility of a pardon. 'Under Article 91 of the Algerian Constitution, an appeal does not stand in the way of a presidential pardon,' he said. He also suggested that if a humanitarian release became an option, he would advise Sansal to withdraw the appeal. The arrest came amid fragile relations and escalating tensions between Algiers and Paris. In January, French President Emmanuel Macron sharply criticized Algeria for imprisoning the renowned author, denouncing the move as a 'disgrace.' Speaking before French ambassadors at the Élysée, Macron accused the Algerian authorities of denying the gravely ill author access to medical care. 'Algeria dishonors itself by preventing a gravely ill man from receiving proper care,' Macron stated. Among the factors that led to the tensions are France's decision to recognize Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in Western Sahara. One of the factors is also Algeria's reluctance to receive its nationals subjected to a deportation order from Paris. Tags: algeria boualem sansalBoualem Sansal

The King firmly rejected any aggression that threatens Qatar's security and stability, calling on the Emir to show restraint and prioritize diplomatic solutions to de-escalate the situation. For his part, the Emir expressed his deep appreciation for the King's «sincere fraternal sentiments and valuable solidarity with the State of Qatar and its people». Earlier on Monday, Iran launched an attack on the U.S. Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar in an operation dubbed «Annunciation of Victory», in retaliation for American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities. The incident marks a sharp escalation in regional tensions following missile exchanges between Israel and Iran. Qatar temporarily closed its airspace on Monday due to heightened security concerns, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stating the move was intended to «ensure the safety of residents and visitors». Later that same day, Qatari authorities announced the resumption of air traffic and confirmed that conditions had returned to normal. Morocco's Ministry of Foreign Affairs also issued a statement Monday, strongly condemning the Iranian attack and expressing full solidarity with Qatar against any threats to its security and the safety of its people.

Sahara: French Equality Minister Bergé Affirms France's Support for Moroccan Sovereignty
Marrakech – French Minister for Gender Equality and Anti-Discrimination, Aurore Bergé, reaffirmed France's unwavering position on Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in the Western Sahara during her visit to Rabat on Monday. 'I want to firmly recall the unchanging position expressed by President Emmanuel Macron: the present and future of the Sahara fall fully within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty,' Bergé stated to the press after a meeting with Morocco's Foreign Affairs Minister, Nasser Bourita. The French minister noted that her official visit to the North African country builds on the strengthened exceptional partnership desired by President Macron and King Mohammed VI following the state visit in October 2024. 'This partnership has opened a new chapter between our two countries that we are writing together for the long term,' she said. Bergé pointed out that her visit takes place 'in a spirit of responsibility and seriousness regarding issues of common interest.' She expressed her conviction that Paris and Rabat want to move forward together within a framework of equality and shared growth for decades to come. 'Our two countries have much to learn from each other' She also acknowledged Morocco's progress under King Mohammed VI's leadership, noting the country has engaged in 'decisive political, economic and social modernization, as evidenced by the major reform of the Family Code.' 'Our two countries have much to learn from each other. Facing the major challenges of our time—economic, social, demographic, climate, security—I am convinced that our destinies are linked,' she insisted. On women's rights promotion, Bergé called Morocco 'an essential partner' in 'feminist diplomacy,' adding that both countries are working together to strengthen cooperation in combating all forms of violence against women. On the first day of her three-day work visit, Bergé also met with Morocco's Minister of Economy and Finance, Nadia Fettah. Their discussions centered on common challenges related to women's employment, as well as how to promote economic inclusion and gender-responsive budgeting. They stressed the importance of removing barriers to women's access to the labor market and the value of models such as the social economy and women's cooperatives. Fettah stated that women's employment is a strategic priority, particularly as unemployment remains at a concerning level and women's jobs prove especially vulnerable during crises. She also talked about the potential of women's cooperatives as an effective lever for promoting economic inclusion in different regions and within vulnerable social populations. Regarding gender-sensitive budgeting, Fettah noted that Morocco, a pioneer in the region, must now strengthen the evaluation of these policies' impact and demand concrete, measurable results. For her part, Bergé stressed the need to address barriers limiting women's access to employment by tackling inequalities in career choices, parental role distribution, and work organization. She added that gender equality must be conceived as a global dynamic concerning both businesses and public policies, following an inclusive approach that leaves no category excluded.
