France-Algeria Deportation Tensions Rise

Published: 2025-03-06

France and Algeria are facing heightened tensions over deportation disputes.

Recently, an Algerian man, expelled from France due to violent offenses, was refused entry by Algeria and sent back to France.

This echoes the case of influencer Boualem Naman, whose controversial video led to his expulsion attempt, only for Algeria to reject him as well.

French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau has called for Algeria to accept its nationals, citing public safety concerns.

He revealed plans to deport hundreds of Algerians deemed dangerous.

Algeria’s resistance to these deportations has strained diplomatic ties, with both nations grappling over legal and political implications.
