After the killing of Algerian soldiers this is Morocco's position on the possibility of war with Algeria

A Moroccan source, who did not want to reveal his identity, stated that his country would not be drawn into a war with its neighbor Algeria. This came in an interview with Agence France-Presse, commenting on what he described as "free accusations" from the Algerian authorities.

A Moroccan source confirmed Wednesday that the Kingdom will not be drawn into a war with its neighbor Algeria, commenting on what he described as "free accusations" after the Algerian presidency announced the killing of three Algerians in a bombing attributed to the Moroccan armed forces in the disputed Sahara region.

The source told AFP, "If Algeria wants war, Morocco does not. Morocco will not be drawn into a cycle of violence that will destabilize the region," denouncing "free accusations" against the kingdom.

He added, "If Algeria wants to drag the region into war through provocations and threats, Morocco will not be drawn into it."

While there was no official response from the Moroccan authorities, the source, who preferred to remain anonymous, confirmed that "Morocco has not and will not target any Algerian citizen, regardless of the circumstances and provocations."

And earlier on Wednesday , the Algerian presidency announced in a statement, "Three Algerian nationals were subjected to a cowardly assassination in a barbaric bombing of their trucks while they were traveling between Nouakchott (Mauritania) and Ouargla (Algeria)", on the first of November.

She attributed the "cowardly" attack to "the Moroccan occupation forces in Western Sahara (..) using advanced weapons," without specifying its exact location.

While the director of the specialized Algerian website "Mina Defense", Akram Khreif, said that it happened in "Bir Lahlou in the Western Sahara."

The Moroccan source considered that this region is “in which the armed militia of the Polisario Front, which is demanding the independence of the Sahara region, is backed by Algeria, moves exclusively in it.”

He added, "It is therefore surprising that the Algerian presidency talks about the presence of a truck in this region, given its legal and military status."

A decades-old dispute has been raging between Morocco and the Polisario Front over the former Spanish colony, which the United Nations classifies as "Non-Self-Governing Territories".

Rabat, which controls nearly 80% of the territory of the vast desert region, proposes granting it autonomy under its sovereignty.

As for the Front for the Liberation of Saguia el-Hamra and Oued Eddahab (Polisario), which enjoys Algerian support, it calls for a referendum for self-determination under the supervision of the United Nations, which it approved when the ceasefire agreement was signed between the belligerents in September 1991.
