Algerian authorities resumed visa requirements for Moroccan nationals entering the country on Thursday, state news agency APS reported.
Algeria said Morocco had abused the visa-free entry and was involved in various actions that harm Algeria’s stability and national security, including acts of espionage, according to a Foreign Ministry statement quoted by APS.
The statement did not provide any evidence supporting these accusations.
Algeria cut diplomatic ties with Morocco in 2021 citing “hostile acts” by its neighbor.
Algeria said it was “committed to preserving ties” with the “brotherly” Moroccan people.
