Story summary

Algeria has cut diplomatic ties with the United Arab Emirates, a move announced on Thursday, September 10 by Algerian state media without giving a specific reason for the decision. This comes after years of strained relations between the two countries, which escalated in February when Algeria began canceling an air services agreement signed in 2013. The agreement was one of several issues that had been causing tension between the two nations, with Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune accusing the UAE of meddling in Algeria's internal affairs and seeking to destabilize it. In a thinly veiled reference, Tebboune described ties with other Gulf states as "brotherly" last year, suggesting that the UAE was not among them. The UAE Foreign Ministry has yet to comment on the decision.
