Ms. Mbarka Bouaida, Minister Delegate to the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, summoned the Algerian ambassador on Tuesday morning to the Ministry “to express the strong disapproval of the Kingdom of Morocco, following the expulsion by the Algerian authorities to Moroccan territory, between Sunday 26 and Tuesday 28 January, of more than 70 Syrian nationals,” the statement added.
