Escalating Tensions between the United Arab Emirates and Algeria: A Potential Diplomatic Crisis Unveiled

2023-06-23 11:51:14

Relations between the United Arab Emirates and Algeria are increasingly tense, even on the verge of a major diplomatic and political crisis. Misunderstandings and misunderstandings continue to accumulate. But an alarming threshold has just been crossed in Saint Petersburg in Russia when the President of the United Arab Emirates Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan refused to meet and talk with Abdelmadjid Tebboune on the sidelines of the work of the international economic forum of Saint PETERSBOURG. An appointment in which the Algerian president participated as a “star”.

But wishing to get closer to the Gulf countries, in particular Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with which he has had very tense relations since he came to power at the head of the Algerian state, President Tebboune asks his staff to coordinate with the services of the Kremlin to organize a small tripartite summit bringing together Putin, MBZ and Tebboune in order to mark the unity of the Arab World as a new active force on the geopolitical level, particularly in the Ukrainian file where the Arab countries can serve as an intermediary to put an end to one of the most dangerous armed conflicts of the last 20 years on the planet.

The idea quickly thrilled Russian President Vladimir Putin, who absolutely wanted to take advantage of the presence at his side of two Heads of State of very important countries in the Arab world. But MBZ was not at all enthusiastic regarding meeting Abdelmadjid Tebboune and he preferred to let Vladimir Putin know it nicely, favoring only a bilateral meeting and an in-depth exchange with the Russian President without crossing paths with the Algerian President. MBZ has clearly indicated that he does not intend to renew dialogue with Abdelmadjid Tebboune at all and does not wish to “consider him a friend”.

Informed of this brutal decision by MBZ, Abdelmadjid Tebboune would have entrusted his advisers with very angry reflections once morest the prince president of the Emirates. According to our sources, this anger from Tebboune caused a lot of ink to flow in Algiers the day following the Algerian president’s return from his Russian trip. And a few days later, an astonishing disinformation operation was launched by a heavy Algerian media once morest the United Arab Emirates linking them to a spy scandal threatening the country’s national security. Mere coincidence? In Algeria, there is never smoke… without fire.
