Algeria-UAE Fallout: Sahel, Libya, Sudan and Western Sahara Emerge as Flashpoints | Firstpost Africa
Watch this video as Firstpost explains how, in a major geopolitical shift across North Africa and West Asia, Algeria has officially severed diplomatic relations with the United Arab Emirates, giving Abu Dhabi’s ambassador 48 hours to depart. Citing a long pattern of 'provocative and hostile acts,' Algiers has closed its airspace to all Emirati-registered civilian and military aircraft—with a limited exception for commercial flights directly to Algiers through 2026. While Abu Dhabi expressed hopes that the move would remain temporary, senior UAE officials urged direct communication over vague grievances.The dramatic rupture follows years of escalating friction over key flashpoints: the UAE’s influence in Algeria’s regional backyard (including reported military backing in Libya, Sudan, and Mauritania), Abu Dhabi’s 2020 normalisation of ties with Israel via the Abraham Accords, and its strong support for Morocco’s sovereignty over Western Sahara. Alyson Le Grange brings you more on this story on Firstpost Africa.
