France has expelled 12 Algerian diplomatic officials amid escalating tensions over the arrest of an Algerian consular agent involved in the kidnapping of Amir Boukhors, an Algerian activist in France. Following this move, France recalled its ambassador to Algeria. This diplomatic spat comes in light of previous friction, including France's support for Morocco over Algeria regarding Western Sahara. Meanwhile, Boukhors, a vocal critic of the Algerian government, has been granted asylum in France despite multiple arrest warrants issued by Algeria, raising further tensions between the two nations.
"France's decision to expel 12 Algerian diplomatic officials follows a series of tensions over the detention of an Algerian consular agent linked to the kidnapping of activist Amir Boukhors."
"The French presidency attributed the strain in relations to Algeria's actions, marking a significant shift as high-ranking officials exchange retaliatory measures amidst a long-standing complicated history."
