As for the escalating crisis in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the newspaper downplayed the significance of Algeria\u2019s initiative, describing it as mere &#8220;disruption&#8221; to established international efforts, calling it &#8220;secondary performances that are no longer palatable.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Emirati attack on Algeria comes at a time when the latter is preparing to play a key role in strengthening security and stability in Africa, particularly following the escalation of clashes between the M23 armed group and government forces in eastern Congo since the beginning of 2025.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_8716\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-8716\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-8716 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"The growing rivalry between Algeria and the UAE intensifies as Abu Dhabi-backed media attacks Algerian diplomacy in Africa\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Emirati-analyst-threatens-Tebboune.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-8716\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Algeria-UAE relation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Abu Dhabi sees this move as a threat to its strategic interests, as it seeks to expand its influence in Africa through massive investments and political alliances.
