Algeria's East-West Motorway to have dramatic impact on economy
2006-11-08
The East-West Motorway, which will link Annaba to Tlemcen by 2009, should have a dramatic impact on Algeria's economy, the British Oxford Business Group said Tuesday (November 7th). The new road should stimulate the setting up of companies away from Algiers and extend economic activities in a more balanced manner. The Oxford Business Group quoted Olivier Durand, country director at the Transport and Packaging Company, a subsidiary of German company IPSEN, as saying "the new motorway will increase productivity, allow big savings in time and effort and will be a fantastic asset to the Algerian economy".
In Algeria, 85% of commercial exchanges are made by road. A total of 19 of Algeria's regions will be connected by this motorway.
The new project is part of the government's $60 billion national economic development programme for 2005-2009. (Le Jeune Independant, L'Expression, Oxford Business Group)

Morocco is striving to win the Western Sahara conflict at all cost even if detrimental to the international legality and the principles of the Grand Maghreb Union, that fragile alliance which every Moroccan seeks to modernize with new mechanisms that would mend the rift and achieve a healthy integration. In doing so, Morocco is submissive to western policies supporting it. But no matter how long it takes, this policy is doomed to failure when its recent supports turn against it. Has Morocco not learned the lessen from American terrorism. Regardless of our differences in core issues, we Arabs in general and Moroccans in particular, the essence of these issues must be going in the greater good of every one without exception!

We wish this Maghreb highway to be a link for the union of Maghreb people. Whatever our leaders, history will show who served its people, the Maghrebi people, and who used people for his own personal goals and the benefit of families. Algeria and Morocco can have relationships in many a field, starting with manpower, agricultural produces, oil products, electronics, etc.
