Algeria certainly has the needed resources and experience to curb terrorism. Legally speaking though, it can only control traffic and/or infiltrations through its borders with Libya, Tunisia, Mali and Niger. Cooperation with the countries bordering Libya and Algeria is the only way to narrow down the large desert into a controllable perimeter. Such cooperation should be effective and operational in each one of the concerned countries. We have recently witnessed the inaction of Malians when the Mauritanians followed and fortunately destroyed a terrorist group that was taking refuge in the Malian territory. Sub-Saharan countries should have electronic warning systems, and/or seek support from countries that have satellites in the region.

Who told you that Algeria isn’t cooperating with the brotherly country Morocco? You are off-topic! Moroccans have been collaborating with their Algerian brothers on security for a long time now. The issue does not concern Algeria alone, because if terrorism beats Algerians, it will reach your country. Besides, Algeria is not the only target of bombings, since there was a bomb explosion in Marrakech as well just two months ago. As a conclusion, cooperation is required because both countries are threatened.

Peace be upon you. First of all, why doesn’t Algeria first coordinate in big operations? After an expertise of more than twenty years in fighting against this epidemic called al-Qaeda or any other resonant names, the Algerian military government came to a strange decision… which is to not trust anyone and to work individually in terms of the huge power of suicide infiltrations of the terrorist organizations and those working with intelligence services that oppose peace and serve narrow interests. After this idea has set, it has been experimented with again in what is called qualitative identification tasks and the involvement of the most dangerous unit in the Algerian army: the Kaksoul. This unit’s leaders don’t accept dealings with anyone, not even the rest of the Special Forces in the Algerian army. There has been some fierce competition recently between the commanders of the special units in fighting and suppressing crime. That forced the Algerian state to disband the most dangerous unit given its inability to monitor its work in the African Sahara and the Sahel countries. After identifying the target and the plan of action, the unit’s members spread around the Sahara and the Sahel countries; the duration of their individual work without leadership or any meeting or contact with headquarters may exceed three years. This is what pushed many geniuses of the institution to publicly cancel it, and I think of course that this cancellation is but a diabolic plot for things that no one will know about for many years. This is concerning the relations tying the military establishment and the Special Forces for crime fighting and suppression. The theoretical coordination between Algeria and Maghreb countries to fight Al-Qaeda is part of the impossible, because the Algerian army doesn’t even accept the involvement of police units and some Algerian units, so how can we expect it to coordinate with a foreign state? I noticed recently the policy on which the esteemed president Abdelaziz Bouteflika built his calculations, despite public opposition of the institution of the presidency to this direction, i.e. keeping the television institution away from the participation in crucial decisions, like opening the media arena in the governmental television. We see the total success of Bouteflika’s action, i.e. preventing the spread of the Algerians way of thinking, and portraying Algerians as being poor.

Algeria and Arab police-regimes are the biggest terrorist gangs in the world. They fuel terrorism whenever they want to, and stop it whenever they please. There is no need to treat the readers like fools; history is a witness. The terrorism of those malicious people is carried out by ignorant people who are knowingly or unknowingly attributed to al-Qaeda.

Is Morocco, the country of peace, participating with these countries? What are its motives and objectives?
