A Moroccan and an Algerian diplomat fight at a meeting

During a meeting in Tokyo, a violent altercation broke out between Moroccan and Algerian diplomats. The conflict was provoked by the uninvited presence of the Saharawi ambassador, Lamine Baali, representing the Polisario Front. A Moroccan diplomat tried to snatch his easel from him, prompting an Algerian delegate to tackle him to the floor. This incident reflects the growing tensions between Rabat and Algiers over the Western Sahara, where Morocco proposes autonomy, while Algeria supports a referendum on self-determination.
