Algeria-France Relations Face Barriers
Relations between Algeria and France continue to be tense, despite more than six decades having passed since Algeria's independence. The roots of the disagreements trace back to France's colonial occupation of Algeria and the independence war that resulted in hundreds of thousands of casualties, with the effects of that period still influencing the political and cultural relations between the two countries. Recent disagreements have focused on historical memory issues and regional matters such as Western Sahara, where Algeria considers France's stance on the autonomy initiative in Western Sahara an unacceptable change, further exacerbating the crisis. Despite political tensions, economic and social relations between the two peoples persist, with France remaining Algeria's primary trading partner and home to the largest Algerian community.
