Algeria: After Wheat, New Tensions with France in the Agricultural Sector

Algeria has reportedly asked its urea producers to stop exporting to France, according to Reuters, while Algeria supplies about 30% of France’s urea imports. Algiers has denied imposing restrictions, and Paris says it has received no official notification; the measure’s duration and scope remain unknown. The dispute adds to trade tensions that followed Emmanuel Macron’s support for an autonomy plan for Western Sahara under Moroccan sovereignty. French wheat exports to Algeria fell from 5.4 million tonnes in 2018 to 608,000 tonnes in 2023.

DR Congo: Kinshasa welcomes US sanctions against Rwanda’s Defence Ministry and Zigama bank

The Congolese Foreign Ministry welcomed US Treasury sanctions against Rwanda’s Defence Ministry and Zigama Credit and Savings Society, which are accused of contributing to the AFC/M23’s aggression against DR Congo with support from Rwandan forces. Kinshasa says the measures corroborate UN experts’ findings and maintains that the M23 remains armed and funded from Kigali. The Congolese government denounced what it considers insufficient international pressure and urged states, international organizations, business partners, sports sponsors and investors to reconsider their ties with Rwanda. It also reaffirmed its commitment to neutralizing the FDLR, saying more than 800 people, including fighters and their dependents, had surrendered since January 2025.
