Algeria recalls ambassador to France over Paris's stance on Western Sahara

Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Algerian authorities have decided to immediately recall their ambassador to France due to the fact that Paris recognized the Moroccan autonomy plan as the only basis for resolving the conflict in Western Sahara, the Ennahar Online news portal reports.
"The French government has finally expressed its frank and categorical support for the colonial state of affairs imposed on Western Sahara. This step, which no other French government has previously considered necessary, was taken by the current government with great ease and nonchalance," the Algerian Foreign Ministry said.
Earlier, French President Emmanuel Macron sent a message to Mohammed VI on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his ascension to the throne. In it, Macron noted that "the present and future of Western Sahara are within the framework of Moroccan sovereignty." In his opinion, for Paris, the autonomy of the Saharawi regions under Moroccan sovereignty is the basis for resolving this issue.
Representatives of Algeria noted that the French authorities violate international law and the right of peoples to self-determination. As France Info specifies, in Morocco, they supported "an important and significant event in support of Morocco's sovereignty over the Sahara."
It is reported that in this regard, the decision to recall the Algerian ambassador to France comes into force immediately. Now the diplomatic mission of the African country will be carried out by a temporary charge d'affaires.

France reverses course to back Moroccan autonomy plan for disputed Western Sahara
In a marked departure from its historical position, France moved on Tuesday to recognise Morocco's sovereignty over the Western Sahara, dealing a blow to the the Algeria-backed Polisario Front, which claims it is an independent state.
