“Algeria has decided to cut diplomatic relations with the Kingdom of Morocco from today,” Lamamra said at a news conference on Tuesday. “The Moroccan kingdom has never stopped its hostile actions against Algeria,” he said.

The cutting of diplomatic relations is effective from Tuesday but consulates in each country will remain open, Lamamra said.
Morocco’s Foreign Ministry could not be immediately reached for comment.

Algeria last week said lethal wildfires were the work of groups it has labelled “terrorist”, one of which it said was backed by Morocco.
The forest fires in Algeria, which broke out on August 9 amid a blistering heatwave, burned tens of thousands of hectares of forest and killed at least 90 people, including more than 30 soldiers.

Algerian authorities have pointed the finger for the fires at the independence movement of the mainly Berber region of Kabylie, which extends along the Mediterranean coast east of the capital, Algiers.

The authorities have also accused the Movement for Self-determination of Kabylie (MAK) of involvement in the lynching of a man falsely accused of arson, an incident that sparked outrage.

Algiers last week accused Rabat of supporting the MAK, which it classifies as a “terrorist organisation”.
“The incessant hostile acts carried out by Morocco against Algeria have necessitated the review of relations between the two countries,” a presidency statement said last week.

It also said there would be an “intensification of security controls on the western borders” with Morocco.
The border between Algeria and Morocco has been closed since 1994.

Algeria backs the Polisario movement that seeks independence for Western Sahara, which Morocco regards as part of its own territory.

Israel in cahoots with Algeria's archenemy Morocco and local terrorists igniting fires in Algeria's mountains. Keeping in mind that Algeria is a vast country, the 10th largest country in the world with many mountainous areas.

Do you know why Israel is doing this? I can understand Morocco, but what does Algeria have to do with Israel?

Morocco deny the claims that they ignited fires in algeria. Morocco was also ready to assist algeria with 2 firefight airplanes, but algeria rejected the help.

Making a long story short, Algeria is and always was a strong ally of the Palestinian freedom movement. 1) In the mid-70s Chairman Arafat was introduced by Algerian diplomats to the UN to give his historic speech to the World on behalf of Palestine. 2) In 1988, Algeria allowed on its soil the Palestinians to declare the creation of the Palestinian State, at the time when other Arab regimes wouldn't dare such audacity by fear of Israel. These two milestones and many others I won't mention here, make Algeria a staunch enemy for Israel.

I could also add that today, Algeria is the only country in the Arab world where the Palestinian flag is omnipresent in the streets of Algeria as well in its soccer stadiums. Other Arab regimes, particularly those who are normalizing with Israel, would absolutely not allow it .

Idk which cave you live in but saying that palestinian flags are only seen in algeria is a ignorant statement. You always see palestinian flags for example by ultras in fotball stadium. I know it dont present any value because you only interested to spread propaganda, im just thinking about the poor people that can get decieved by your lies. Dont forget allah is watching you
