Today, Algeria accuses the oil-rich Gulf state of seeking to destabilize it.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1482\">In a surreal scene during the June 2024 G7 summit in Bari, Italy, Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune was seen having a private conversation with UAE President Mohammed bin Zayed. Tebboune pointed a finger at his counterpart\u2019s chest \u2014 a gesture that, while ambiguous, seemed to symbolize threat, rebuke, or sharp criticism. What exactly was said is unknown, but the finger-pointing encapsulated the ongoing &#8220;cold war&#8221; between the two nations.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1484\" data-end=\"2053\">According to Jeune Afrique, this diplomatic deterioration is no longer superficial \u2014 it\u2019s evolved into direct accusations and undiplomatic language. From the Western Sahara dispute to the conflicts in Libya and the Sahel, and most recently UAE\u2019s normalization with Israel, Algeria has several grievances. The magazine argues that understanding today\u2019s hostility requires revisiting the more cordial era under former President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who had close personal and political ties to the UAE \u2014 even declaring national mourning when Sheikh Zayed died in 2004.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2055\" data-end=\"2312\">Under Bouteflika, the Emiratis secured major contracts in Algeria, and the Algerian military frequently purchased Emirati arms. General Ahmed Gaid Salah, the former army chief, visited the UAE so often that some accused him of being under Emirati influence.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_17395\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-17395\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-17395 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555596.jpg\" alt=\"Algeria UAE tensions\" width=\"1000\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555596.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555596-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/555596-768x384.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-17395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mohammed bin Zayed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p data-start=\"2314\" data-end=\"2666\">However, when Tebboune took office, the dynamics changed. The first rupture came in November 2020 when the UAE opened a consulate in Laayoune, a disputed city in Western Sahara \u2014 a move Algeria saw as backing Morocco\u2019s claim over the territory. That same year, the UAE normalized relations with Israel \u2014 another move seen by Algeria as a &#8220;provocation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2668\" data-end=\"2962\">Still, in 2021, the UAE showed signs of goodwill by extraditing former Sonatrach CEO Abdelmoumen Ould Kaddour to Algeria. Yet Tebboune continued his criticism. In March 2024, he stated: \u201cWherever there are conflicts, the money of that country (UAE) is there \u2014 whether in Mali, Libya, or Sudan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2964\" data-end=\"3273\">In May 2025, Algeria&#8217;s state broadcaster launched an unprecedented verbal attack on the UAE following a Sky News Arabia interview in which an Algerian academic questioned the Amazigh component of Algeria\u2019s identity. That academic was later sentenced to five years in prison for \u201cundermining national unity.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16428\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16428\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16428 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7899-1.jpg\" alt=\"Algeria UAE diplomatic rift\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7899-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7899-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.watanserb.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/7899-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16428\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Still, in 2021, the UAE showed signs of goodwill by extraditing former Sonatrach CEO Abdelmoumen Ould Kaddour to Algeria.
