Morocco is following Algerian allegations concerning alleged pollution of Oued Mouilah, Moroccan government spokesperson Samir Belfqih said on Thursday after the government council, according to Yabiladi.
Algeria says Morocco deliberately polluted the waters of this river, which rises near Oujda, crosses the border towards Maghnia and flows into the Hammam Boughrara dam in Tlemcen wilaya, Yabiladi reports. Algiers describes the alleged acts as a “cross-border environmental attack” and has raised the possibility of referring the matter to the competent international bodies.
The Moroccan position comes after allegations concerning discharges from Morocco, over which Algiers is considering measures, announced on 10 November in a previous press report. Algiers considers measures over discharges from Morocco
