The simmering tensions between Algeria and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have resurfaced following pointed remarks by Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune. In a recent address to the nation’s top military leaders, Tebboune criticized an unnamed Gulf state for meddling in Algeria’s internal affairs, a thinly veiled reference to the UAE. This latest flare-up underscores the deepening rift between the two nations, rooted in regional rivalries, geopolitical strategies, and ideological differences.
