🇩🇿❌🇦🇪 — The Algerian Regime announces that it is cutting diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates over so-called 'provocative and hostile actions', says its State Media
➡️ The ruling authorities in Algiers said it is cutting diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates following years of tension, with Algiers accusing Abu Dhabi of interfering in national and regional affairs.
“Algeria has decided to cut diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates, following the exhaustion of all means to preserve bilateral relations,” Algeria’s state television announces.
📝 Algier's foreign ministry said on Thursday that the UAE’s actions had reached a point where they could no longer be considered acceptable and that it had “exhausted all means of preserving bilateral relations”.
🚫 It said the Emirati ambassador had been summoned to the ministry, informed of the decision and given 48 hours to comply.
Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune has often offended and called the UAE in speeches as a “micro-state” or “statelet” seeking to destabilise several countries in the region.
🇩🇿 Last year, Algerian State television denounced what it called a hostile media campaign after UAE-based broadcaster Sky News Arabia aired an interview with historian Mohamed Amine Belghit, who made controversial remarks questioning the existence of Algeria's indigenous Amazigh culture.
