France says to expel Algerian diplomats in tit-for-tat move
France will expel Algerian diplomats in response to plans by Algiers to send more French officials home, Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said Wednesday, as relations between the countries deteriorate. The recent tensions began last July when President Macron decided to back Morocco on the issue of Western Sahara. The Boualem Sensal affair, along with the expulsion of Algerian influencers, has exacerbated the situation.
