Algeria has ordered 12 French embassy officials to leave the country within 48 hours in response to the arrest of three Algerian nationals in France, prompting sharp criticism from the French government.
Algeria has expelled 12 staff members from the French embassy, giving them 48 hours to leave the country, French Foreign Minister Gérald Darmanin Barrot confirmed on Monday in comments to Le Figaro.
The move appears to be retaliation for the recent arrest of three Algerian nationals suspected of serious offenses on French soil. Speaking to BFM TV, Barrot labeled the decision “unjustified.”
“We have decided together, with the Algerian government, to reweave the thread of dialogue in the service of our two countries. I call on the Algerian authorities to abandon these expulsion measures, which have no connection with the legal proceedings underway,” he said.
Barrot warned that France would respond “immediately” should the expulsions go ahead, signaling escalating diplomatic strain between the two countries.
