Algeria Gate: Spain and Portugal, in a joint security operation, seized 10.6 tons of hashish and dismantled an organization trafficking it via the Guadiana River on the Iberian Peninsula, at the same time as the Brussels public prosecutor, Julien Moinil, revealed that leaders of drug criminal networks are based in Morocco, according to the Belgian media site “21News.”

The Spanish Civil Guard and the Portuguese Republican National Guard announced in a joint statement, reported by Spanish media on Saturday, the dismantling of the organization as part of Operation Trident, with the seizure of 265 packages of hashish weighing a total of 10.6 tons, along with the arrest of 10 people and the seizure of 9 vehicles and 3 firearms.

According to the Spanish news agency “EFE,” the operation began in the city of Ayamonte in Huelva province, where the forces found inside a property 132 packages of hashish weighing 5.28 tons.

The security forces also seized 6 vehicles at the location, including 5 that were stolen and modified to hide the drugs, in addition to a pistol and an assault rifle, both of which were loaded and ready for use.

Three people were also arrested at the property and referred to the judiciary on charges of drug trafficking, illegal possession of weapons, vehicle theft, and forgery, before being placed in pre-trial detention, according to the “EFE” agency.

The operation extended to the Portuguese side of the Guadiana River, where the forces seized an additional 133 packages weighing 5.32 tons, along with 3 vehicles and a pistol.

Members of the organization tried to flee by boat, but Spanish and Portuguese forces intercepted it after the intervention of aerial, maritime, and land means, and arrested 7 people. The detainees were referred to the Portuguese judiciary, which decided to place them in pre-trial detention.

In Brussels, prosecutor Moinil explained that some of those in charge of the drug networks continue to manage the criminal networks from Morocco while others continue their activity from inside prisons, calling for enhanced cooperation with the countries where these criminals are located.

These operations reveal the scale of the hashish economy that continues to penetrate Europe, while European agencies pursue its networks and seize tons of its shipments, while Morocco remains a hub for criminal leaders operating across borders, amid official Moroccan leniency complicit with these networks.

Algeria Gate: The shadowy hacker collective known as Jabaroot has thrown Moroccan intelligence into disarray and dangled the threat of exposing Pegasus spyware data stolen from Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez. But make no mistake: Sánchez is merely collateral. The true target is the Alawite monarch; King Mohamed VI.

In the past week, Jabaroot has dominated headlines after dumping a list of 70,000 alleged collaborators with the Moroccan secret services. Among the names were Spanish residents, including a former PSOE deputy and a CCOO trade unionist. The group then upped the pressure by threatening to release the sensitive material Morocco allegedly extracted from Sánchez’s phone using the Israeli spyware Pegasus; files that many believe explain Madrid’s consistently submissive posture toward Rabat.

Yet according to sources familiar with the operation, the Spanish prime minister is not the prize. Publishing the Pegasus haul would certainly detonate a political bomb in Spain. Jabaroot’s real ambition is far more personal and far more damaging: to strike at the carefully constructed image of Mohamed VI and the entire Alawite monarchy.

Exposing the King’s Private Life

Some analysts tie Jabaroot to Algeria. Others insist the group is made up of Moroccan defectors who have finally turned on the Makhzen. Their strategy is unmistakable. They are preparing to weaponize the monarchy’s most closely guarded secrets.

Moroccan opposition sources claim Jabaroot is in possession of videos that allegedly capture the king in highly compromising situations. One description making the rounds is particularly damning: “A video of a beautiful bed in Paris with the king flanked by two men between the sheets.”

The same sources assert that the group also holds proof that Mohamed VI is not the biological father of Crown Prince Moulay Hassan. This explosive claim was first raised by Abdelilah Issou, a former Moroccan officer now living in exile in Spain. Issou told ESdiario he possessed images of the prince’s real father and intended to publish both the man’s identity and photograph.

Issou has now gone further, confirming Jabaroot’s intentions in clear terms. The collective, he said, “possesses videos that show Mohamed VI having sexual relations with men, and it is planned to publish them; but not in the near future.”

The Monarchy’s Biggest Nightmare

While the threat of releasing Sánchez’s stolen data still hangs in the air, Jabaroot’s focus has clearly shifted to a far more valuable target. For decades the Alawite regime has protected the king’s private life with iron discipline. Whispers about wild parties in Paris and persistent questions surrounding his sexuality have never been allowed to surface in official channels.

That wall of silence is now under direct assault.

Pedro Sánchez can breathe a little easier. The hackers have bigger game in their sights. The Spanish prime minister may yet avoid the full force of the Pegasus leak. Mohamed VI, however, is facing a far more intimate and potentially catastrophic exposure; one that strikes at the very foundations of the image the Makhzen has spent generations constructing.

Algeria Gate: A prominent Mauritanian writer has laid bare what he describes as decades of calculated treachery by Morocco’s Makhzen regime. According to his account, the Alawite dynasty, from Mohammed V through Hassan II, Mohammed VI, and Crown Prince Hassan, did not merely fail to resist foreign domination. They actively invited it.

Who brought France into Morocco? The Alawites. Who helped Spain crush the independent Rif Republic? The Alawites. Who opened the gates of North Africa to Israel? The Alawites. Who backed France’s occupation of Algeria? Once again, the Alawites.

These are not isolated accusations. They form a consistent historical pattern of betrayal that has repeatedly targeted Algeria and the broader Maghreb. The same regime that today hosts Israeli officials threatening Algeria from Moroccan soil is the direct heir of sultans who broke treaties, abandoned allies, and handed resistance leaders to colonial powers.

A System Built on Betrayal

The Makhzen’s record against Algeria stretches across generations. It begins with Emir Abdelkader, continues through the revolt of Ouled Sidi Cheikh, and reaches the infamous hijacking of the aircraft carrying the leaders of Algeria’s liberation revolution. Each episode reveals the same instinct: prefer the foreign occupier over the Arab and Muslim neighbor.

Political scientist Ahmed Kateb has been blunt. Emir Abdelkader fought for the independence of both Algeria and Morocco. Sultan Moulay Abderrahmane repaid that struggle with betrayal. Kateb describes the Makhzen as a system of collaboration and historical repression ; one that, from father to son, shows greater loyalty to outsiders than to its own people. The same pattern appears in the fate of Abdelkrim Al-Khattabi, the Lion of the Rif. The Moroccan sultan offered him as a gift to France and Spain in a tripartite alliance that destroyed the dream of the Rif Republic.

The Forged Claim of Sharifian Blood

Mohammed VI continues to present himself as a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The claim is not cultural ornament. It is the central pillar of political legitimacy used to silence dissent and demand obedience from the Moroccan people.

Yet the Prophet’s own words leave little room for fabrication:

“There is no man who claims a father other than his own while knowing it, except that he has disbelieved; and whoever claims what is not his is not of us, and let him take his seat in the Fire…”

Algerian researcher Mohamed Doumir examined the official genealogical tree published on the Moroccan royal website. After comparing the names with established biographies and historical sources, he identified two clear forgeries that no serious historian, Moroccan or otherwise, can accept.

Historical consensus holds that Muhammad al-Nafs al-Zakiyya had only one son who left descendants: Abd Allah. Mohammed VI’s lineage, however, claims descent through al-Qasim, a son whose existence in the royal tree rests solely on books written by Alawite court historians. The discrepancy is not a minor scholarly debate. It is evidence of deliberate construction.

The Poisoned Dagger Against Emir Abdelkader

In 1847, under relentless French pressure, Emir Abdelkader crossed into Moroccan territory. He appealed directly to Sultan Abderrahmane ibn Hisham, warning that the fall of Algeria would mean the fall of Morocco. He asked for reinforcement. The Sultan refused. Instead, he struck a deal with the French that helped surround the Emir’s forces and forced his surrender.

Abdelkader had shown respect for the Moroccan throne. He initially refused the title of Emir out of deference. It made no difference. The Sultan delivered him to the French occupier. The Emir negotiated safe passage for his soldiers and tribes, then chose exile; first Alexandria, later Acre, carrying with him the bitterness of a trust betrayed and the lives of thousands of Algerians sacrificed.

His letter to the scholars of Egypt, complaining of the desertion of the Sultan of the Far Maghreb, remains one of the clearest contemporary testimonies of Moroccan hostility toward Algeria.

The Crushing of the Rif Republic

The same logic governed the destruction of Abdelkrim Al-Khattabi’s Rif Republic. After the stunning Riffian victory over Spain at the Battle of Anoual in 1921, the Republic became a direct threat to French colonial designs. Marshal Hubert Lyautey, architect of the French Protectorate, coordinated with Sultan Moulay Youssef. France and Spain combined forces. Aerial bombardment intensified. Chemical weapons were deployed against Riffian villages. By May 1926, facing overwhelming force, Al-Khattabi surrendered to spare his people further slaughter. He was exiled to Réunion, later settling in Cairo, where he continued the struggle until his death in 1963.

The Moroccan palace did not merely stand aside. It actively collaborated in extinguishing the most successful indigenous resistance movement of the era.

History’s Verdict

The pattern is consistent: when a genuine independence project emerged in the Maghreb, the Alawite sultans chose the colonial side. When Algeria fought for its freedom, Morocco’s rulers preferred accommodation with the occupier. When the Rif rose, the palace helped strangle it. When Israel sought a foothold in North Africa, the same regime opened the door.

Mohammed VI’s insistence on Sharifian descent is therefore not a matter of private genealogy. It is the latest chapter in a long strategy of political self-legitimation built on contested bloodlines and a documented history of collaboration. The historical record, the primary sources, and the testimony of those who paid the price; Abdelkader, Al-Khattabi, and generations of Algerians, leave little room for another reading.
