British Think-tank reveals real reason behind Teboune’s invitation to G-7 & expects France’s recognition of Moroccanness of Sahara – The North Africa Post
Algeria’s president Abdelmadjid Tebboune was invited to the latest G7 summit held in Italy due to the pressure exerted by French President Emmanuel Macron, says a London-based think-tank in its latest report. If, as expected, French party Rassemblement National (RN) wins upcoming snap parliamentary elections and takes control of the government, it will almost certainly recognize Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara, affirms Menas Associates, which provides intelligence to decision-makers. Teboune’s last-minute invitation to attend the G7 summit, which was celebrated by Algerian-state media as a diplomatic achievement, was arranged by President Macron following the results of the European Parliament elections on June 9, says the British think-tank. The upcoming elections are likely to have serious consequences for French-Algerian relations and the remaining three years of Macron’s presidency. On the sidelines of the G7 summit in Italy, Tebboune met Macron.

They say the park and most protected wildlife areas in Nigeria are poorly patrolled, making them easy targets for armed groups. The Clingendael report said it is unclear what the motive of the Sahel extremists in the park is and what their relationship with other armed groups there will be. AdvertisementAcross many villages in Nigeria’s northwest, banditry — not jihadi fighters — remains the major security threat, Barnett said.
