Algerian singer Reda Taliani released on bail after arrest in Marrakech brawl
The Public Prosecution at the Primary Court in Marrakech decided on Monday to release Algerian artist Reda Taliani on temporary bail, set at one thousand dirhams, following the conclusion of his preliminary detention period, according to local media sources.
This decision came after his arrest at the end of the week due to a brawl in one of the city's neighborhoods, which prompted the initiation of a preliminary investigation ordered by the Public Prosecution.
Taliani faces charges related to mutual violence, public intoxication, and incitement to prostitution—charges that have sparked widespread controversy on social media. Investigations are still ongoing, pending the completion of the case and its presentation to the judiciary.

Sahara: Peruvian Congress Exhorts Government to Support Morocco, Warns of Polisario Terrorist Threats
Doha – The Peruvian Congress has forcefully demanded its government to back Morocco's complete sovereignty over the Sahara, while exposing the dangerous terrorist connections and criminal operations of the Polisario Front – a puppet organization manipulated by the Algerian regime. In a motion adopted by an overwhelming majority on Monday, the Peruvian legislative body commanded the executive branch to 'adopt a position of support to the sovereignty of the Kingdom of Morocco over the Western Sahara,' as stated in the text presented by Congresswoman Carmen Patricia Juarez Gallegos, First Vice-President of the Congress. The motion hailed ties with Rabat since 1964 and declared Morocco's autonomy proposal as a 'serious solution in conformity with international law.' Peruvian lawmakers asserted that Morocco's 2007 initiative 'has received the support of numerous countries, among which the United States of America, the Kingdom of Spain and the Republic of France, which have recognized said proposal as the most realistic and viable basis for a lasting solution to the conflict.' The Congress blasted the Polisario Front for its treacherous alliances with terrorist networks. The motion exposes to the international community 'the Polisario's links with terrorist organizations such as Hezbollah, as well as with networks trafficking arms and persons, and the exploitation of minors in the Tindouf camps.' It demands international bodies to 'investigate these crimes and sanction them.' The motion slams the Polisario Front, which exists solely in the Tindouf camps on Algerian soil where it imprisons hostages under the watchful eye of its Algerian masters. The fraudulent 'SADR' remains nothing more than a phantom entity, a fictional creation sustained by the hostile Algerian regime in its desperate campaign against Morocco's territorial integrity. 'The Polisario is implicated in serious violations of human rights that constitute threats to regional and international security,' the motion thunders, adding that 'various reports from international think tanks have warned against attempts by the Tehran-Hezbollah-Polisario axis to destabilize North Africa and the Maghreb through ideological infiltration, financing of radical activities, and proliferation of weapons in the region.' Last March, Peru's Congress passed another motion urging the country's Foreign Ministry to express clear support for Morocco's Autonomy Plan. The document, introduced by legislators Maria Del Carmen Alva Prieto and Ernesto Bustamante Donayre, referenced the plan's widespread international backing from over 120 countries and cited UN Security Council Resolution 2756 from October 2024. In April, Keiko Fujimori, leader of Peru's Popular Force party, voiced her party's absolute support for Morocco's sovereignty during a visit to Rabat, where she met with Rachid Talbi El Alami, President of the Moroccan House of Representatives. This diplomatic pivot follows Peru's decision in September 2023 to sever ties with the self-proclaimed 'SADR,' a bogus entity fabricated by the deceptive Polisario Front and its Algerian sponsors. Peru had briefly reestablished these misguided ties under former leftist President Pedro Castillo – a political outsider who presided over a government in disarray, struggling to return stability to Lima after years of public discontent and large-scale riots – before rectifying this error. The Congress reaffirmed Peru's dedication to defending human rights, combating terrorism, and building diplomatic relations with countries that advance peace, security, and development, while rejecting the destabilizing schemes of the Algerian-backed separatist faction that threatens regional stability. Morocco maintains full control of its Sahara territories, implementing an ambitious development plan while the Algeria-financed Polisario languishes in isolated camps, holding people against their will and engaging in criminal activities under the protection of the Algerian military.

Report Suggests Algeria's Hacking Group Targeted Moroccan Notaries Platform, Not ANCFCC
Rabat – Hacking attacks against Moroccan institutional databases sparked debate and concern among citizens and experts, especially with the latest wave of reports that alleged a breach instigated by the Algerian group, Jabaroot DZ. Reports suggested that the Algerian group targeted Morocco's National Agency for Land Registry, known as ANCFCC. The reports came after the group claimed to have accessed over four terabytes of land-related data. However, sources from the land registry agency denied that it is the agency's system that was directly targeted, clarifying that the breach involved a notaries' platform, Tawtik, which is managed independently. Le360 quoted an authorized source from ANFCC, who said that no intrusion or data leak has been detected in its information system. Le360 said the Algerian hacking group may have access to data on the notaries' platform by 'exploiting vulnerabilities in inadequately protected computers.' The Moroccan agency sent a letter to notaries warning them about cybersecurity risks, urging them to take all necessary precautions. It also temporarily suspended access to its platform in April and closed the platform entirely to all professionals, reverting to paper-based filling and in-person payments at physical counters to avoid any security breaches. This came when the same group claimed responsibility for the hacking of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) database. Several documents have gone viral online, with experts warning citizens not to open the files as they could include security threats that could target their data. Earlier this year, the same group claimed responsibility for the hacking of the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) database. The intrusion exposed personal data of nearly 2 million Moroccan employees across 500,000 businesses registered with the Moroccan social security. Morocco has been pledging to strengthen its efforts to ensure strong cybersecurity to tackle similar crises. In April, cybersecurity giant Kaspersky said Morocco ranks among Africa's most frequently targeted countries for digital attacks. The ranking places Morocco third among African countries facing web-based threats, with 12.6 million attack attempts documented in 2024. Kenya tops the list with nearly 20 million incidents, while South Africa follows with approximately 17 million. Web threats targeting African businesses jumped 1.2% compared to 2023, with over 131.5 million total threats detected regionwide this year. In-device threats climbed 4% in African organizations since 2024. Tags: Africa CybersecurityCybersecurity

Algerian ‘Jabaroot' Group Behind CNSS Breach Attacks Moroccan Property Registry
Doha – The Moroccan National Agency for Land Conservation, Cadastre and Cartography (ANCFCC) has become the latest victim of a major cyberattack claimed by 'Jabaroot,' the same hacker group behind April's CNSS breach. The group, which identifies itself as Algerian, announced the attack on Monday, allegedly resulting in the theft and subsequent leak of thousands of sensitive property documents. According to claims the group made on their Telegram channel, the hackers have exfiltrated and released what they describe as 'a massive amount of sensitive data' from ANCFCC's databases. The leaked information reportedly includes 10,000 property ownership certificates out of a total database of more than 10 million land titles. The compromised data allegedly contains cadastral information, property owner identities, real estate references, and various personal and administrative documents. These include approximately 20,000 various documents such as sales deeds, civil status documents, copies of ID cards, passports, and banking documents, amounting to approximately 4 terabytes of data. This cyberattack comes approximately two months after the same group claimed responsibility for hacking the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) database in April. That intrusion exposed personal data of nearly 2 million Moroccan employees across approximately 500,000 businesses registered with the CNSS. Immediately following that earlier breach, the land registry agency had temporarily suspended access to its online platform on April 14—particularly the service dedicated to notaries—and decided to close the platform entirely to all professionals and users, reverting to paper-based filing and in-person payments at physical counters using the old method. The agency had then urged all professionals—including notaries, lawyers, and users—to go directly to land registry agencies to process their filings and payments in person until further notice. An 'unjustified intervention' The Jabaroot group has justified this attack as a direct response to what they call 'Moroccan media's false propaganda' regarding rumors about France freezing assets belonging to high-ranking Algerian officials. 'These political tensions only concern France and Algeria,' the group stated, describing the alleged propaganda as 'an unjustified intervention and an opportunistic way to attack Algeria again on the international stage.' Some of the first documents published on the Telegram channel reportedly involve real estate transactions by high-profile Moroccan public figures. The hackers specifically claim to have released sensitive documents belonging to senior Moroccan officials, including what they allege are documents of Mohamed Yassine Mansouri, the director general of foreign intelligence. The group has made serious allegations that 'while the Moroccan people suffer from poverty and deprivation in various forms, Mansouri spent more than MAD 3.5 million ($350,000) between 2022 and 2023, and established companies in his daughter's name.' At the time of reporting, ANCFCC has not yet officially addressed the origin of these alleged leaks or the authenticity of the circulated documents. It remains unclear whether the method of intrusion into the land registry database is identical to the one used against the CNSS. Tags: Algerian hackersancfcccyberattack
