Algeria cuts diplomatic ties with the UAE
The decision was made following years of tension, with Algiers accusing Abu Dhabi of interfering in national and regional affairs.
Algeria announced on Thursday that it would be severing diplomatic ties with the UAE, following a period of escalating tensions. The decision came after Algeria had exhausted all avenues to resolve its differences with Abu Dhabi. In a statement released by the foreign ministry, Algeria accused the UAE of engaging in provocative and hostile acts, without offering specifics.
The Algerian state television reported that President Abdelmajid Tebboune has frequently referred to the UAE as a micro-state or statelet that seeks to destabilize several countries in the region, pointing to conflicts in Libya, Mali, and Sudan. Tebboune stated that the UAE's actions have had a very negative impact and that the country wants the UAE to stay away to prevent further bloodshed in Algeria.
The foreign ministry warned the UAE ambassador to comply with the decision within 48 hours, as the UAE had continued its actions despite repeated warnings. The breakdown in relations is attributed to various factors, including Algeria's denial of the legitimacy of the UAE's normalization of ties with Israel in 2020.
