Algeria on Monday announced the expulsion of 12 French officials, shattering
recent hopes of a diplomatic thaw and plunging relations between the two
nations to a new low.
The country’s foreign affairs ministry said in a statement that French
consular agents had been given 48 hours to leave the country, in response to
the arrest of an Algerian consular official in France.
French counterterrorism prosecutors said three Algerians were arrested Friday
on preliminary charges of “kidnapping or arbitrary detention … in
connection with a terrorist undertaking (任務),” including one that French
media has said was an Algerian consular official.
The group is allegedly involved in the April 2024 kidnapping of an Algerian
