Algeria Severs Ties With UAE Amid Regional Tensions
Algeria severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates following a series of crises, tensions, and heated statements between the two nations. The Algerian Foreign Ministry summoned the Emirati ambassador and ordered him to leave the country within 48 hours after state television reported that all avenues to maintain bilateral ties were exhausted.
