Countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council have sent a strong blow to Algeria’s attempt to make of the next Arab Summit it plans to host an anti-Moroccan event. In unequivocal terms, the GCC reiterated support to Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, to the latest UN Security Council resolution which calls for a mutually acceptable solution and lauds Morocco’s autonomy initiative. Algerian President and his foreign minister are already using the conditional when speaking about the Arab summit using terms such as “if the summit is going to be held in Algiers.”Algeria has chosen its camp in support of Iran and blood-thirsty regime in Syria further distancing itself from any Arab consensus. As its voice becomes increasingly inaudible in Africa, Algeria represents all that has impeded Arab integration. Algiers is now viewed within the Arab region as a warmongering military-dominated state on the verge of economic collapse and social implosion.
