The Algerian government announced the breaking of diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates. The decision represents a complete rupture of official ties between the two countries.
Algeria and the United Arab Emirates are the countries involved in this diplomatic crisis. Both are part of the Arab world and had maintained formal diplomatic relations until now.
The Algerian executive explained that the rupture was not done earlier to avoid worsening divisions among Arab countries. This justification indicates that there were accumulated tensions that the Algerian executive initially tried to circumvent.
