On Thursday, Algeria announced it was severing diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to years of escalating tensions. The decision came after Algeria exhausted all avenues to maintain bilateral relations. State television reported on the move, citing Algiers' accusations of the UAE meddling in national and regional affairs. The foreign ministry released a statement detailing the provocative and hostile actions by Abu Dhabi, though no specifics were provided.
Algeria's state television spokesperson emphasized that the nation spared no effort to warn the Emirati side of the serious repercussions that could arise from its unjustified behavior. The ministry stated there was no immediate response from UAE authorities to Algeria's announcement.
Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune has frequently described the UAE in his speeches as a "micro-state" or "statelet" intent on destabilizing countries across the region, pointing to Libya, Mali, and Sudan as examples. In a televised interview in July, Tebboune highlighted his stance that "wherever they set foot, blood flows."
