France’s historical strategy in Algeria relied heavily on influential contacts, including military generals and political leaders, who were willing to defend French interests in exchange for personal benefits. These relationships allowed France to gain a foothold in Algerian politics, shaping decisions to align with its geopolitical objectives.
However, according to International Supermarket News (ISN), the current Algerian government has taken a radically different approach. By focusing on transparency, anti-corruption measures, and economic independence, it has broken away from the corrupt practices that once plagued the country.
This shift has not only undermined France’s ability to manipulate Algerian politics but has also sent a clear message: Algeria is no longer a playground for foreign interference.
The emergence of a new generation of Algerian leaders, untainted by the corruption of their predecessors, has fundamentally changed this dynamic. The lack of decision-makers willing to serve French interests has deprived France of its traditional allies on the Algerian political scene. This situation has created a void that France has struggled to fill, exacerbating its frustration.
The loss of influence has led to a series of retaliatory actions, perceived by many as attempts to destabilize Algeria. Critics argue that France is “deliberately causing trouble” in Algeria, using media narratives, diplomatic pressure, and political maneuvers to undermine the country’s progress.
