Algerian local channel claimed that Algeria asked UAE ambassador to leave the country
ISTANBUL
Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune on Tuesday sacked Communication Minister Mohamed Bouslimani and asked the Ministry’s Secretary General to temporarily run its affairs.
The Algerian Presidency didn’t provide details on the reasons for removing Bouslimani, but the incident took place shortly after a local news channel published a news report claiming to ask the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ambassador to leave Algeria.
The channel also said that the UAE ambassador was given 48 hours to leave the North African nation after the arrest of four Emirati nationals for spying for Israel.
The Algerian Foreign Ministry, for its part, categorically denied the news report about the Emirati envoy to leave the country and underlined the strength of bilateral relations between Algiers and Abu Dhabi.
