Algeria sacks communication minister following false news about UAE envoy
ALGIERS, Algeria (AA): Algerian President Abdelmajid Tebboune on Tuesday sacked Communication Minister Mohamed Bouslimani and asked the Ministry’s Secretary General to temporarily run its affairs.
The Algerian Presidency didn’t provide details on the reasons for removing Bouslimani, but the incident took place shortly after a local news channel published a news report claiming that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) ambassador had been asked to leave Algeria.
The channel also said that the UAE ambassador was given 48 hours to leave the North African nation after the arrest of four Emirati nationals for spying for Israel.
The Algerian Foreign Ministry categorically denied the report and underlined the strength of bilateral relations between Algiers and Abu Dhabi.
