Algeria and France revive high-level security coordination mechanism in bid to ease tensions
Anadolu Agency2 days
France's diplomatic reset with Algeria marks a necessary correction after months of counterproductive posturing. Security cooperation in the Sahel, where France has lost ground to Russia and Turkey, demands partnership with Algeria, which shares borders with Mali and Niger. Restoring technical dialogue and respecting established deportation procedures offers the only viable path forward for both nations' strategic interests.
Algeria's parliament unanimously criminalized French colonialism and demanded full compensation for 132 years of systematic violence, nuclear testing and resource plundering. France's refusal to issue a formal apology while maintaining hostile diplomatic initiatives demonstrates continued disrespect for historical accountability. Recognition of colonial crimes as crimes against humanity remains a non-negotiable prerequisite for any genuine normalization.
