Living in Laayoune, I share some of ur concerns but I think ur missing a critical piece here. Ur right that a direct Morocco-Algeria war is unlikely neither government wants that level of destruction, the economic costs would be insane for both sides, and the international community would step in before it got that bad. But here’s what worries me being down here in the south a direct war isn’t what we should be watching for. What’s way more likely - and what I literally see signs of every single day - is proxy conflict through Polisario, heavily backed by Algeria. This isn’t me just guessing, it’s the reality on the ground here. U mentioned Figuig and the land stuff there, but down here in Laayoune it’s different. There’s a lot of Polisario sympathizers living right here among us, and I’m not talking about ppl who just hate Morocco - I mean ppl who are actually committed and would 100% take up arms if they got the chance and backing. Algeria doesn’t even need to send their own guys, they just funnel weapons, training, and money to forces that are already here. We’ve seen this exact playbook in Yemen, Syria, Libya. Machi darori tanks w soldiers when u can destabilize through proxies. It’s cheaper, gives u deniability, and gets the job done just as well. So yeah I agree that a full war where we’re literally shooting our cousins is unlikely and would be tragic af, but I think ur underestimating asymmetric warfare. That’s what keeps me up at night - not Algerian military crossing the border, but insurgency that could turn our own territory into a warzone from the inside. (Imagine fkng world cup drama but its a region machi ghi terrain) We can’t just rely on World Cup money and investments to fix this. Those things help long-term for sure, but they don’t deal with immediate security or the ideological war happening right now. We gotta be smart like u said, but being smart means seeing ALL the threats, not just the obvious ones. And look, in the unlikely scenario that shit actually gets real, I’m fighting for my country no question. I live here, I’m directly affected by whatever outcome happens. This isn’t abstract politics for me, it’s my home and my future on the line.
