Medelci speaks of nagging frictions in Algerian-French relations

The Algerian Foreign Minister, Mourad Medelci, has said that the Algerian-French relations are currently at a low ebb on account of the implications of the colonial past as well as the coercive measures taken of late by the French authorities regarding the free movement of Algerian citizens, notably the untoward decision to subject the Algerian passengers to systematic body scanner checks.
