Algeria toward Morocco
Algeria's posture is characterized by direct diplomatic friction and restrictive actions, evidenced by the mass repatriation of 49 Moroccan migrants and the implicit challenge to Morocco’s Western Sahara sovereignty via support for the Polisario Front. These actions align with the 'unfriendliness' and 'trade/diplomatic restrictions' category rather than open hostility, but clearly exceed neutralit
Morocco toward Algeria
Morocco demonstrates active diplomatic hostility by securing backing from European powers against Algeria’s backing of the Polisario Front and engaging in information warfare during the Algerian wildfires. This indicates a posture of diplomatic pressure and adversarial engagement rather than mere neutrality.
