ALGIERS- Algeria has decided to recall its Ambassador to France, Saïd Moussi, with immediate effect, for consultations, said a press release from the Presidency of the Republic issued on Wednesday.
“Following the official note through which Algeria strongly protested against the clandestine and illegal exfiltration of an Algerian national whose physical presence on the national territory is prescribed by the Algerian justice, the President of the Republic Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune ordered the recall, with immediate effect, for consultations, of the Algerian Ambassador to France, Said Moussi,” underlined the communiqué.
In a related context, Algeria condemned, on Wednesday, in the strongest terms, the violation of the national sovereignty by diplomatic, consular and security personnel under the French State who participated in a clandestine and illegal operation to exfiltrate an Algerian national whose physical presence on the national territory is prescribed by the Algerian justice, indicated a press release from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad.
“The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and National Community Abroad expressed to the French Embassy, Algeria’s firm condemnation of the violation of the national sovereignty by diplomatic, consular and security personnel of the French State who participated in a clandestine and illegal operation of exfiltration of an Algerian national whose physical presence on the national territory is prescribed by the Algerian justice,” stressed the same source.
In this official note, Algeria rejects this “inadmissible and despicable” development which causes “great damage” to Algerian-French relations, concluded the same source.
Contrary to the information reported, yesterday, by a media hype about a “risk” of the extradition of Amira Bouraoui, from Tunisia to Algeria, this activist with dubious actions was exfiltrated to France thanks to a French colonel of the intelligence services with whom she dealt from Algiers.
According to Dzair Tube TV’ sources familiar with this case, the operation was entrusted to the French ambassador in Tunisia who, after having intervened with the Tunisian authorities who were detaining Bouraoui for the illegal entry into the Tunisian territory, the “khabardjia” boarded a plane bound for Lyon airport. On the spot, Amira Bouraoui was welcomed by a colonel of the French services, the same one with whom she dealt from Algiers where she carried out dubious activities in the service of her French masters to the detriment of the country she claims to defend.
More precisely, just after she got off the plane in Lyon from Tunis airport, and after checking her travel documents, the French border police decided not to grant her the authorization to enter the French territory… But, the intervention of the above-mentioned French services’ officer tipped the balance in her favor.
In other words, Amira Bouraoui narrowly escaped being expelled from the French territory, owing her salvation to this colonel who guaranteed her protection on French soil with a quid pro quo of betraying her homeland Algeria.
