Algeria’s military intelligence services have just delivered yet another web of state-sponsored lies. Broadcast by the Defense Ministry, a video featuring purported confessions by six alleged MAK members, including four supposed Moroccans, seeks to obscure the debacle of the July 2 legislative elections. It is a pitiful script straight out of the playbook of “Dahdouhism,” first deployed in 2021 to demonize the Hirak, and further evidence of a regime adrift in its desperate quest for legitimacy.
