Algerian-French Dispute Over Nuclear Testing Continues
Algeria faces demands to reveal the locations of radioactive and chemical waste resulting from nuclear tests conducted by the French occupation in southern Algeria between 1960 and 1966, which left behind hazardous residues and radiation-contaminated areas. Despite France sending reports, forming a working team since 2008, and affirming the dismantling of facilities in accordance with the Évian Agreements, Algeria continues to request precise plans and data regarding disposal sites and radiation levels, but Paris has not provided any tangible results to date. Experts believe that the French position is insincere, using military secrecy as a pretext to avoid revealing colonial crimes that could lead to legal and political repercussions. Meanwhile, Algerian officials point out that France is reluctant to undertake the initiative to clean up nuclear sites and accuse it of lacking genuine intent to resolve the issue.
