Assets of Tebboune's Sons in France Face Potential Asset-Freezing Measures
Mohamed Sifaoui, a French-Algerian investigative journalist, has revealed that two of Tebboune's sons, Mohamed and Khaleld, hold assets in France.
Sifaoui made his remarks during an interview with Algerian journalist Abdou Semmar.
During the interview published this week, the journalist claimed that while Tebboune may have no assets in France, his sons do.
These assets could be seized and frozen by French authorities, which would see bilateral tensions escalate even further since the two countries started exchanging hostile diplomatic decisions in the aftermath of France's endorsement of Morocco's position on the Western Sahara dispute.
Sifaoui made several other revelations, including pointing out the abuse of power by the Algerian regime.
He said that Mohamed Tebboune was entrusted by his father with a government advisory role despite his lack of experience.
Mohamed Tebboune also has connections with Turkish businessmen, he suggested, adding that this would eventually land him in jail when his father's mandate ends.
'They own commercial properties, stock assets, etc. What we call financial assets in other words, wealth… both of them have assets in France,' the Algerian journalist said, noting that this is 'confirmed information.'
The journalist slammed the Algerian president for criticizing France while his sons have financial holdings there, noting that he not only relies on information from government reports but also verifies and fact-checks information himself.
'That's why I haven't published it yet,' he said. 'I have the names and will probably publish them by the end of the week. But among those are the two sons of Abdelmadjid Tebboune.'
Sifaoui and his interviewer then both launched into a debate about the hypocrisy of the Algerian ruling class, slamming Algeria's establishment for claiming to adopt an anti-French policy while their children and families hold active assets in France.
This is not the only bombshell revelation Sifaoui made about the Algerian regime's involvement in similar scandals.
Beyond the regime's interference in the domestic affairs of other countries, a new comprehensive investigation has shed light on clandestine operations allegedly orchestrated by the Algerian regime on French soil.
Last month, French outlet Le Journal du Dimanche reported that, under President Tebboune, the Algerian government has been actively involved in a campaign to suppress opposition voices abroad.
A senior French security official, speaking on condition of anonymity to the news outlet, said: 'We possess reliable intelligence confirming that Algerian services did not act independently.'
This includes attempts to abduct or intimidate prominent dissidents residing in France, such as YouTube r Amir DZ and journalist Abdou Semmar.
Algeria and France have experienced political tensions for months.
According to L'Express, France is now considering freezing the assets of several dignitaries of the Algerian regime.
There have also been exchanges of hostile measures from both countries, including travel restrictions against officials from both sides.
In recent years, both countries have taken measures to expel officials or made other similar measures.
In May, diplomatic sources told AFP that Algeria was planning to expel more French officials.
In response, French Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot confirmed that ties between France and Algeria were 'completely frozen.' Tags: algeria and francerelations between Algeria and France

Diaspo #399 : Nouzha Ghoutis, an influential Moroccan voice in the United Arab Emirates
From the heart of the ancient city of Tetouan, born into a family deeply rooted in a love for language and knowledge, Nouzha Ghoutis emerged. Migration was never part of her plans or dreams, yet in 1992, she found herself packing her bags for the United Arab Emirates. Her intent was simply to visit her sister. What was meant to be a short trip turned into a lifelong journey. Her first impression of the UAE left a lasting mark. «I have never seen a woman humiliated in the UAE, regardless of her nationality or job. Women here are respected and prioritized in all aspects of life», she told Yabiladi. That respect, what she saw as a genuine expression of Islamic values, was the first emotional thread that connected her to the country. A French language teacher and linguistics researcher by training, Nouzha's academic ambitions were far-reaching. Her dream was to study languages in their native contexts. But once she arrived in Dubai, she realized the world had come to her. She began her teaching career in Morocco, with a degree in literature and French language, before expanding her horizons through international academic programs. She earned a Master's in Education and Learning, followed by a Master's in Law from France. In 2022, she completed a PhD in Diplomacy and Political Science from the London School of Economics and Political Science. On a professional level, Nouzha also became an international arbitration judge for dispute resolution (London, UK) and a legal advisor. She holds a diploma in Human Resource Management from a British university and a certified trainer diploma from the Dubai Government Academy. Today, she is a member of the International Association of Lawyers and Judges in Paris, the World Federation of United Nations Friends, and serves as a cultural diplomatic ambassador. She also represents Morocco at The Hague Institute for Human Rights and International Law, advocating for rights, culture, and peace. Despite her many roles, Nouzha has never abandoned her first passion: linguistics and language teaching. Living in the UAE, home to hundreds of nationalities, she found a rare academic opportunity and launched a research project that led to the publication of her first book. «In the UAE, dozens of nationalities live and work together in rare harmony. That inspired me to begin my research, which led to the 2023 release of my first book, Contemporary Scientific Solutions for Teaching and Learning the Arabic Language. It combines both theory and practice, bridging Arabic, French, and English». The book's success brought her scientific recognition and led to her participation in the 2024 World Arabic Language Conference in Dubai, which hosts researchers from more than 170 countries. She will return this year, once again proudly carrying the Moroccan flag. But her contributions didn't stop at linguistics. In 2024, she published a second book, The Impact of Economic Diplomacy on Economic Development, reflecting her vision of the intersection between culture, politics, and economics. Although some might describe her journey as one of migration, Nouzha resists the term. «I never felt like a migrant or a stranger. The UAE is an Arab country, its religion is Islam, and its culture is similar to ours. We live our rituals, Ramadan, Eid, our clothing, our food, just as we do in Morocco. Even our holidays become shared celebrations». She adds, «We live here as Moroccans in every detail. We have our restaurants, markets, traditional dress, festivals, and our longing for Morocco brings us together to relive the scent of home». Still, nostalgia remains an inseparable part of her identity. «Of course, we miss our homeland, our families, our friends, and the scent of our beloved Moroccan soil. So whenever we can, we return with hearts full of love and longing, for its skies, seas, mountains, and bustling markets». Today, Nouzha Ghoutis is more than a teacher, researcher, and academic, she is a Moroccan voice in the Gulf, embodying her homeland through both scientific and humanistic contributions. She helps shape a brighter image of Morocco and its people abroad.

French Bar Owner Slapped with €37,000 Phone Bill After One Week in Morocco
Marrakech – A French business owner received a shocking phone bill of €37,737 following a one-week vacation in Morocco. The 63-year-old bar and tobacco shop owner from Maule, in the Yvelines region of France, is now fighting the charge from telecom giant Orange. According to French news outlet Le Parisien, Dominique, who owns a bar-tabac in Maule, spent a week in Marrakech from April 28 to May 5 this year. Upon his return, he discovered that Orange had charged him over €37,000 for mobile data usage during his stay. The businessman claims he barely used his phone during the trip. 'It's not possible. I didn't touch my phone. Either I was hacked or I made a mistake,' he told Le Parisien. Before traveling to Morocco, Dominique had increased his data plan to 5 GB, which was supposed to cover his usage in Morocco. Despite this precaution, the charges accumulated rapidly. Orange states they sent multiple warning messages to the customer. The company claims they first notified him when he reached 80% of his data allowance, then again at 100% when his data was blocked. According to the telecom provider, Dominique authorized additional data usage on May 2 at 6:14 p.m. After this authorization, Orange says they sent 16 text messages alerting him about excess consumption. Read also: French Tourists Crown Morocco as Ultimate Summer 2025 Haven Dominique disputes this account. He acknowledges receiving a message about exceeding €2,500 while dining with friends, but admits he didn't pay attention to it. He claims he never received any message at 6:14 p.m. and didn't authorize the additional charges. 'At 3 a.m., I was sleeping. I didn't see these messages,' Dominique explained. He noted that during previous trips to Morocco, his phone bills never exceeded €140. The detailed bill shows charges of €225 per minute between 3:39 a.m. and 6:34 a.m. on May 2 for '3G/3G+ roaming' communications. The charges totaled €31,000 before taxes for just four hours of usage. The dispute has caused serious problems for Dominique's business. Orange cut his service, affecting his cash register, card payment terminal, and email system essential for placing orders. '€31,000 in four hours is ridiculous! That's not what I earn in a year. I won't work for Orange for two years. I won't pay,' said the businessman, who claims to have been an Orange customer 'for 38 years without missing payments.' Dominique has taken several steps to resolve the issue, including sending a registered letter to Orange headquarters and filing a complaint with the Orange mediator. He has since switched to another mobile operator to keep his business running. Orange maintains that 'no tangible evidence allows us to question the validity of the amounts due' and claims their prevention service properly informed the customer of the charges.

550 children from 25 countries unite in Rabat to launch global call for peace
Children from 25 countries gathered in Rabat on Friday to launch a multilingual Call for Peace, urging dialogue among nations, the rejection of hatred, and the promotion of tolerance and coexistence. The message was delivered in Arabic, English, French, and Spanish during a reception hosted by the House of Representatives as part of the 17th edition of the International Festival of Peace Children. «We, children of the world, have come from different continents, carrying a thousand wishes. We have packed our bags not to flee war, but to send a message to the world, a message from pure hearts whose only language is love and whose only weapon is childhood», they declared. «O world, enough of death, enough of fire that burns hearts before homes, enough of childhood buried under rubble, trapped and tormented by hunger and thirst. Hear us... hear the children of the world», the statement implored. The children expressed their hope to grow up in a world free of war, where songs of love and peace can be heard. They signed the message «from Morocco, land of coexistence and harmony», and launched it «from the podium of Parliament, the voice of the people and the echo of justice». Abderrahmane Rouijel, founding director of the festival, recalled that 550 children contributed to drafting this universal message, a symbol of their shared desire for a peaceful world. The event, he emphasized, seeks to instill values of love, tolerance, and openness to others. The children also marched in traditional attire from Al Barid Square to the Parliament building, where they posed for commemorative photos. Organized by the Bouregreg Association under the honorary presidency of Princess Lalla Meryem, and supported by local authorities and the Ministry of Culture, this year's edition promotes cultural exchange and fosters a culture of peace.
