This comes just days after he received an official invitation to attend the Arab League summit scheduled for mid-May in the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"380\" data-end=\"800\">The hashtag urges the Algerian president to avoid attending the summit, citing concerns expressed by activists and citizens about the security and political situation in Iraq. It also draws on painful historical memories still present in Algerian collective consciousness\u2014particularly related to the late president Houari Boum\u00e9di\u00e8ne, considered one of the most influential leaders in Algeria&#8217;s post-independence history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"802\" data-end=\"1516\">The campaign was sparked by the circulation of a video clip featuring an Algerian woman pleading with President Tebboune not to travel to Iraq. In her emotional appeal, she referenced two key incidents: first, the death of former President Boum\u00e9di\u00e8ne, who\u2014according to widely circulated accounts\u2014fell ill with a mysterious disease after a visit to Iraq in 1978, a visit some have later linked to a poisoning conspiracy, though no conclusive evidence exists. The second incident concerns the tragedy that befell former Foreign Minister Mohamed Seddik Benyahia, who was mediating peace talks during the Iraq-Iran war, when his plane was shot down under suspicious circumstances in 1982\u2014allegedly by an Iraqi missile.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5852\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5852\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5852 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-1024x513.jpg\" alt=\"Social Media Warns: Iraq Is a Danger Zone\" width=\"1024\" height=\"513\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-1024x513.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-768x385.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-1536x770.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-150x75.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-450x225.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades-1200x601.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/The-Iraqi-Hezbollah-Brigades.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5852\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Iraqi Hezbollah Brigades<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"152\"><strong data-start=\"107\" data-end=\"152\">Social Media Warns: Iraq Is a Danger Zone<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1518\" data-end=\"1727\">Notably, a large number of social media pages and commentators joined in support of the hashtag, arguing that Iraq remains a dangerous zone, rife with foreign intelligence agencies and complex internal strife.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"1729\" data-end=\"2201\">Mohamed El-Mahdi wrote: \u201cWhen the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2025\/03\/03\/algerian-president-tebboune-to-skip-emergency-arab-summit-over-lack-of-coordination\/\">President<\/a> of Algeria steps onto Iraqi soil, he\u2019s not entering a fully sovereign state, but rather a gray area where global intelligence agencies are at war.\u201d He added, \u201cEveryone\u2019s got their finger on the trigger, and everyone\u2019s looking for a live broadcast moment that could ignite the Middle East,\u201d warning of potential assassinations with unknown perpetrators and no accountability.

Some also emphasized the importance of not letting past mistakes dictate current policies, stressing that Iraq is a fellow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/2023\/10\/21\/algerian-president-declines-cairo-peace-summit-attendance-due-to-uaes-participation\/\">Arab<\/a> nation and Algeria should maintain a strong presence in its political and diplomatic orbit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"3991\" data-end=\"4312\">In this context, Bouziane Merhouni posted a brief message: \u201cMr. President, don\u2019t take a risk by going to Iraq.
