Karima Saada Algerian Influencer Sparks Outrage with Racist

A pro-regime Algerian influencer, Karima Saada, has sparked outrage after making racist and antisemitic remarks while promoting Algeria’s stand at the Paris Agricultural Show. Saada, who claims to work for Auchan France, described France as "the devil and the enemy of Allah" and made derogatory comments about people of African descent, referring to them as having "horrible Negroid heads."

Her primary target was the Moroccan stand, where she insulted those present with similar racist language. This controversy has gained traction online, especially as her social media profile reportedly featured antisemitic imagery.

Saada’s remarks have fueled debates about the role of influencers in state-sponsored promotion and the dangers of spreading hate speech. Critics argue that such comments not only damage diplomatic relations but also fuel racial and religious tensions.

In response, social media users have called for Auchan France to clarify whether she is indeed an employee and to take action if necessary. Meanwhile, many have demanded accountability from Algerian officials who endorse such figures to represent the country on international platforms.

The incident has reignited concerns about online hate speech and the responsibility of social media platforms in moderating extremist content. Whether legal or corporate actions will be taken against Saada remains to be seen, but the backlash highlights the growing intolerance for racism and discrimination in public discourse.
