Reciprocal firing of diplomats; France and Algeria’s relations reached a deadlock
Paris and Algerian diplomatic struggle rose, and France fired Algerian diplomats in retaliation; The French foreign minister also says bilateral relations have been “completely blocked”.
According to RCO News Agency, the French Foreign Ministry today (Wednesday) summoned a senior Algerian diplomat to inform him that Paris would dismiss Algerian diplomats with a visa -free diplomatic diplomat in response to Algeria’s decision to dismiss four French officials.
“France reserves the right to take more action depending on how the situation changes,” the French Foreign Ministry said in a statement after summoning Algeria.
According to Reuters, the statement did not mention the number of people fired.
French relations with his former colonial have long been complicated, but last year the situation became worse when French President Emmanuel Macron was angry with Morocco’s position on the Western Desert disputed area.
Last month, after the visit of French Foreign Minister Jean-Nuel Barrow to Algeria, tensions had declined temporarily, but a week later, retaliatory diplomatic dismissals again tired relations.
Algeria’s official News agency (APS) reported Monday that the French official was reported to the French diplomatic agent in “illegal” and will be fired.
Also on Wednesday, the French Foreign Minister told BFM that bilateral relations with Algeria have now been “completely blocked”.
