Algeria's Foreign Minister Ramtane Lamamra recently commented on the statements of the French President Emmanuel Macron in which he addressed the history of Algeria and Mali.

Lamamra's comments come during his visit to Mali, where he considered Macron's statements attacking Algeria "a memorial bankruptcy."

Algerian-French relations have been witnessing tensions since President Emmanuel Macron of France made several controversial, shocking, and unprecedented statements toward Algeria and its president, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, whom he accused of being influenced by those around him.

In addition, the number of visas that will be granted to Algerian immigrants has been reduced.

Algeria summoned its ambassador to France as a result of the crisis, while the army reported on Sunday that Algeria banned French military aircraft from entering its airspace.
