The intellectuals urged that the only solution to disputes between the Maghreb countries is dialogue. For nearly fifty years, the region has been affected by the Western Sahara conflict and its repercussions, which disrupted the project of unity in the region and deepened the rift between Algeria and Morocco. However, the UN's success in ending the conflict depended at the time on clearing the air in the region. At the height of colonialism, the sisterly countries undertook an interconnected liberation path, as the fate of the two peoples had always correlated. We say "yes" to the voice of wisdom to settle disputes between the Algerian and Moroccan people and "no" to dissonance or triggers that escalate tension.
