Earlier, Algeria also expelled 12 of France’s secretaries. Earlier, the Algeria’s Foreign Ministry had said that it expelled the French officials because an Algerian consulate officer in France was arrested under an investigation into the kidnapping case.
What is going on in the background?
France and Algeria have already been sensitive. Algeria has been a colony of France and there have been many disputes between the two countries. Last year, the situation worsened when French President Emmanuel Macron supported Morocco with Western Sahara, which Algeria opposed. However, last week French Foreign Minister Jean Noel Bairat had said that the relations between the two countries are now becoming normal. But this new controversy can spoil the relationship.
