Algeria will review its relations with Morocco after accusing it of complicity in deadly forest fires, a presidency statement said Wednesday, in the latest tensions between the North African neighbours.
At least 90 people, including 33 soldiers, were killed in dozens of forest fires that broke out amid a blistering heat wave on August 9 across swathes of northern Algeria.
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has said most of the fires were “criminal” in origin
The decision to review relations with Rabat was made during an extraordinary meeting of the country’s security council, chaired by Tebboune and dedicated to evaluating the situation after the fires.
“The incessant hostile acts carried out by Morocco against Algeria have necessitated the review of relations between the two countries,” the presidency statement said.
It said there would also be an “intensification of security controls on the western borders” with Morocco.
