The Western Sahara issue fueled Algerian-Moroccan tensions for decades, stemming from Spain's 1975 withdrawal and the subsequent conflict between Morocco and the separatist Polisario Front, which lasted until a 1991 ceasefire. The UN does not recognize sovereignty claims by either side.
In a statement,
Algeria's upper house of parliament, the Council of the Nation, announced that all ties with the French Senate, including a 2015 cooperation protocol, would be cut off immediately.
The move followed
French Senate Speaker Gérard Larcher's visit to Laayoune, the main city in Western Sahara, on Monday.
Morocco proposes autonomy for Western Sahara under its rule, while the Polisario Front, supported by Algeria, demands a self-determination referendum.
