Tensions between Algeria and France have escalated following France's support for Morocco's autonomy plan for the disputed Western Sahara region.

Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has canceled his planned visit to France, citing historical grievances and accusing France of genocide during its colonial rule.

Algeria has withdrawn its ambassador and reduced its diplomatic presence in France.

The strained relations are further complicated by low execution rates of deportation orders for Algerian nationals in France, highlighting ongoing diplomatic challenges.

Tebboune has called for historical truth and resolution of issues like French nuclear tests in Algeria, while also criticizing the 1968 Franco-Algerian agreement on immigration, which remains a contentious issue in France.
