The Algerian coast guard opened fire on three Moroccans who were jet skiing in Algerian waters. Unfortunately, two of the three individuals lost their lives in the tragic incident.
The death of two young Moroccans at the hands of the Algerian coast guard gave rise to an official investigation by the Moroccan authorities.
At the funeral held in Oujda, Morocco, on Thursday, there was a palpable display of emotion. The deceased was one of two young people who lost their lives. Notably, the deceased had dual French and Moroccan citizenship.
While enjoying their time at sea off the coast of Morocco, three friends unwittingly crossed into Algerian territory. In response, the Coast Guard acted quickly, resulting in the tragic deaths of two of the friends, with one of their bodies remaining in Algeria. The third friend managed to escape unharmed, but was later detained. This incident had a negative impact on previously tense relations between neighboring North African countries.
