the beef between Algeria and Morocco is so stupid

Politics

i am very much aware that there is 200k sahrawi refugees that were expelled from their land and that morocco signed with israel. having said that, it's clear that our differences do not serve either of our countries, and is a clear win to israel, the eu and the us. morocco can't sell its stuff at fair price because the territories aren't legal and we lose on gas revenues by shutting down pipelines and are not getting some of the moroccan skills that would benefit our economy. If we were to venture in tourism, morocco would be a useful friend. their banking sector is light years ahead of ours. and if we solved this issue in west sahara, by giving the refugees their right of return - morocco could get a fair price for its exports, the refugees would get justice, morocco would access energy at a better price, etc. and more importantly we could have leverage to have them quit the abraham accords.

to be frank, i'm seeing racism against algerians from moroccans, and that is the most stupid thing i have ever seen - we are literally the same people. let's just settle this, the more this thing stays opened, the more absurd it gets. i am not saying we should be naive, but we need to be more pragmatic about this.
