Marseille : A politician close to President Tebboune organizes a trip for children from Tindouf
The «Holidays in Peace» initiative recently made a significant stop in Marseille, where Sahrawi children from the Tindouf camps were warmly received by Samia Ghali, a French-Algerian official who has served as the city's deputy mayor since 2020. «Staying true to its values, Marseille is hosting eight Sahrawi refugees this summer. This visit provides them with an opportunity to engage with local youth and explore the city, along with its greatest treasure: the sea. The connections we forge with these young refugees enhance the friendship between the Mediterranean peoples», Ghali expressed in a heartfelt welcome message shared on social media. As the organizer of this visit, Samia Ghali is recognized for her pro-Algerian views. In May 2024, she traveled to Algiers for a notable meeting with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, attended by the French ambassador to Algeria, Stéphane Romatet. Following this encounter at the Al Mouradia Palace, she joined the support committee for the electoral campaign of the «independent candidate» Tebboune in France, ahead of the presidential elections scheduled for September 7, 2023.

Reports: Saudi giant want to sign Algerian Ismaël Bennacer
Is the Algerian preparing for a new experience in his carefree life? Reports: Saudi giant want to sign Algerian Ismaël Bennacer Algerian international Bennacer is on the radar of several Saudi clubs this summer, including Saudi giants Al Ittihad, who have been heavily linked with the Algerian international, who is currently in negotiations with Italian giants AC Milan for a possible departure in the current summer transfer window. The player's contract expires in the summer of 2027 with AC Milan, but the instability of his role with the club and his loan spell last season at Olympique de Marseille has made him think long and hard about leaving the club and looking for another experience. Repeated injuries and bad luck The Algerian international was certainly hoping to get a permanent role in the Italian giants' squad, but he was unlucky with injuries, which made the technical management of the team think about not relying on him in the main, and the number of injuries made him participate in only 20 games between AC Milan and Marseille last season, which gave a lot of doubts about his future. How much will Etihad pay for this deal In a strategic move to facilitate the transfer, agent Ben Nasser is capitalizing on his longstanding relationship with former Al-Ittihad superstar Karim Benzema. The French-Algerian striker's influence could prove pivotal in negotiations as AC Milan push to secure the Algerian international's signature. Sources close to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat reveal that discussions between the Rossoneri and Al-Ittihad are progressing steadily, with both clubs working to finalize terms. The deal, if completed, would mark a significant coup for the Serie A giants as they look to bolster their squad with top-tier talent. The involvement of a high-profile figure like Benzema adds an intriguing layer to the negotiations, highlighting the interconnected nature of modern football's transfer market. All eyes now turn to Milan as they attempt to conclude what could be one of the summer's most talked-about moves.

France to Tighten Travel Conditions for Algerian Dignitaries
Rabat — French Interior Minister Bruno Retaileau is tightening travel conditions to France for a group of Algerian dignitaries, government spokesperson Sophie Primas said today. AFP quoted the French official saying that the decision comes after Algeria refused to take back 120 nationals who are under an obligation to leave French territory, or QQTF. 'The data we have shows that 20 individuals under QQTF, who have valid documents for returning to Algeria, have not been taken back by the Algerian authorities,' she said after a meeting of the council of ministers. Between March and July 22, dozens of Algerians were sent back to France, according to Le Figaro. 'You may have noticed that the Interior Minister has become increasingly inclined to take stricter measures, particularly regarding Algerian diplomacy,' Primas said, stressing that travel conditions to France will be more difficult for several Algerian dignitaries. She recalled that France is witnessing a power struggle with Algeria, which includes the unanswered demand urging the Algerian regime to release French-Algerian author Boualem Sansal and journalist Christophe Gleizes. Beyond the complex Algeria-France ties, the two countries endured dramatic tensions due to several factors, including Paris' newfound position in support of Morocco's territorial integrity and sovereignty over its southern provinces in Western Sahara. In July of last year, France officially recognized Morocco's sovereignty over its southern provinces in the Western Sahara with a letter from President Emmanuel Macron to King Mohammed VI. France's decision was followed by Macron's State visit in October, during which he reiterated the decision in the Moroccan parliament, emphasizing that France's stance was not meant to antagonize any country. Macron's remarks were a direct response to Algeria's ongoing efforts to undermine Morocco's territorial integrity as well as France's support, as the Algerian regime has long backed the Polisario Front and its destabilizing actions against Morocco. The tensions were exacerbated by Algeria's reluctance to receive back nationals subject to deportation orders. Another point of contention is the imprisonment of Sansal, who received a sentence of five years in prison on charges of undermining state security. 'Can a great nation honor itself by keeping someone who is sick and elderly in detention for wrong reasons?' Retailleau said earlier this year.
