- 🇩🇿 Algeria has revealed plans to expel more French officials, following a similar move last month, escalating a diplomatic feud.
- 🇫🇷 France has vowed an immediate and strong response to Algeria's actions, deeming them incomprehensible and brutal.
Background of Tensions
- 🤝 The expulsions occurred despite a March summit between French President Macron and Algerian counterpart Tebboune, intended to restart dialogue.
- ⚖️ In late March, Algeria expelled 12 French officials after a French diplomat was arrested in France, leading to France expelling 12 Algerian diplomats in return.
- 🌍 Relations have deteriorated significantly in recent months, partly due to France's support for Moroccan sovereignty over Western Sahara.
- ✍️ Tensions deepened further when Algeria arrested and jailed French-Algerian author Kamel Sansal on national security charges.
- 📉 The current crisis represents the most serious rupture in relations between France and Algeria since Algeria's independence in 1962.
