Macron to be “sole point of reference” for Algeria relations

Emmanuel Macron is the “only point of reference” for mending frayed ties with its former colonial ruler according to Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, as reported by France 24 on March 23rd.
Relations between the two nations have been strained over immigration and since Macron recognised Moroccan sovereignty of the disputed territory of Western Sahara in July last year.
“We will keep President Macron as our sole point of reference,” Tebboune said in an interview broadcast on Algerian television.
