Algeria accuses France of "genocide," recalls ambassador

• The comments were "an intolerable affront" to Algerians who died fighting French colonialism, the Algerian presidency said, per AP.
• This is the second time Algeria has recalled an ambassador from France, per Al Jazeera.

What they're saying: "Following remarks that have not been denied, which several French sources have attributed by name to [Macron], Algeria expresses its categorical rejection of the inadmissible interference in its internal affairs," a statement from the presidency read, per AP.

• The statement also highlighted France's colonial rule, saying "the crimes of colonial France in Algeria are innumerable and fit the strictest definitions of genocide."
