Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has issued a strong call for France to take full responsibility for the catastrophic consequences of its nuclear and chemical weapons tests in Algeria, emphasizing that a definitive resolution of this historical injustice is imperative for any meaningful revival of bilateral cooperation, Report informs via Dzair Tube.

In a landmark interview with the French daily L’Opinion, Tebboune underscored that the issue of nuclear test site decontamination is not only a political and diplomatic matter but a moral, humanitarian, and military obligation. He insisted that France must provide precise details regarding the locations of its nuclear tests and the burial sites of hazardous radioactive materials.

“The decontamination of nuclear test sites is non-negotiable. It is an imperative on all levels—humanitarian, ethical, political, and military. If such matters have been addressed with the Americans, Russians, Indonesians, and Chinese, then Algeria must demand the same from France,” declared Tebboune.
