Morocco accused of being behind terrorist attacks in Mali

Submitted on

Algiers, August 9, 2015 (SPS) .- Morocco is accused of being behind the latest terrorist attacks executed in Mali by the jihadist group MUJWA in order to wreck the good offices of Algeria in the neighboring country.

 

The attacks resumption in Mali just some months after the signing of the peace and reconciliation agreement in Algiers is more than enough proof of the aims of this movement whose finances come mainly from trafficking hashish and cocaine.

 

The Algerian press accuses Morocco to remotely control these terrorist operations in order to disrupt negotiations between the Malian actors under the auspices of Algiers. An accusation widely reinforced by the information relayed by French press sources.

 

Indeed, according to a dispatch published on September 5, 2012 by the magazine Jeune Afrique, "the French intelligence services claim that weapons have recently been delivered, via Burkina Faso, to the Movement for the uniqueness and Jihad in West Africa (MUJWA)". "As a result, French officials are perplexed: how trucks loaded of weapons can cross Burkina without the approval of the authorities?", Jeune Afrique reports, while the Sahrawi authorities had accused Limam Ould Chafai of being the relay contact between Rabat and MUJWA. Since the overthrow of President Compaoré, Ould Chafai fled to Morocco where his family was already for years before.

 

The French army also has overwhelming proofs against Morocco. During its Amettetaï Valley sweep, it found documents and GPS that allowed it to trace the path taken by the terrorists to reach Mali. They clearly came Morocco and Tunisia. An Information reported by the programme Special Envoy of October 17, 2013. SPS
