The country charts an independent course, doesn\u2019t meddle in local affairs, and has close ties to Russia and China. Algeria is a harsh critic of Israel, opposed the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003 and 2011 NATO intervention in Libya, decried the Abraham Accords, which recognized neighboring Morocco\u2019s claim to the Western Sahara, and maintains relations with the Assad government in Syria.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria fought two wars of independence: the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.britannica.com\/place\/Algeria\/The-Algerian-War-of-Independence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1954-1962 war<\/a>\u00a0against the French colonizers, and the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Algerian_Civil_War\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1991-2002 war<\/a>\u00a0against the Islamists, led by the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cfr.org\/backgrounder\/armed-islamic-group-algeria-islamists\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Armed Islamic Group<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>According to the U.S.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/crsreports.congress.gov\/product\/pdf\/IF\/IF11116\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Congressional Research Service<\/a>, \u201cAlgeria has the world\u2019s 11th &#8211; and 16th -largest proven reserves of natural gas and oil, respectively, and was the 10th-largest natural gas producer as of 2019.

In the 1950s, the Truman and Eisenhower administrations supported France in Algeria, but President Kennedy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/blog\/order-from-chaos\/2019\/04\/25\/algeria-and-america-a-complicated-past-an-uncertain-future\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">endorsed<\/a>\u00a0Algerian independence.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria mediated negotiations between the U.S. and Iran that resulted in the freeing of the 52 American hostages after 444 days in captivity. Algeria also offered support to the U.S. in the wake of 9\/11 and cooperated in counterterrorism operations, even offering the U.S. use of an airfield in the country \u2013 a major concession.<\/p>\n<p>So, then, why the\u00a0<em>agita\u00a0<\/em>about Algiers?<\/p>\n<p>America\u2019s \u201cYou are either with us, or with the terrorists\u201d mentality fails to take account of past cooperation and positive relations. Washington is apparently unable to believe a nation may prefer to look after its own interests first and sees any reluctance to place oneself in thrall to America as siding with the enemy\u00a0<em>du jour<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the Pentagon\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thegrayzone.com\/2021\/04\/08\/pentagon-vietnam-military-china-us-war\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">failed to recruit<\/a>\u00a0Vietnam as a military ally against China, forgetting, or choosing to ignore, that Vietnam\u2019s recent fights for liberation, first from France, then from America, might incline the country against military alliances, especially with the guys it defeated.<\/p>\n<p>More recently, the Minister for Foreign Affairs of Singapore, speaking on behalf of ASEAN about the U.S and China,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RnaudBertrand\/status\/1587900612708274176\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">declared<\/a>, &#8220;We are not interested in dividing lines in Asia. Don&#8217;t make us choose. We will refuse to choose.&#8221; And even close friends of Washington are seeing the value of belonging to a forum independent of the Americans: the BRICS (Brazil-Russia-India-China-South Africa) group may soon\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/brazil-russia-india-china-south-africa-brics-bloc-grows-us-left-out-1757643\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">welcome<\/a>\u00a0Argentina and Iran which have applied to join, and Egypt, Saudi Arabia and NATO member Turkey have expressed interest. (Algeria has formally applied to join the bloc.)<\/p>\n<p>One observer\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Paaksing\/status\/1590151919938719744\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">noted<\/a>\u00a0that BRICS may become the \u201cworld&#8217;s commodity alliance\u201d with China as the manufacturing center and India as the service center.<\/p>\n<p>So, who are the U.S. congressmen working for?<\/p>\n<p>They may have a legitimate concern about the revenue Russia is getting from Algeria, though a $7 billion dollar arms deal pales next to the unlimited cash Washington is handing Kyiv. It could be they are promoting U.S. defense contractors to capture Algerian sales, though expecting Algiers to junk its entire Russian-supplied inventory is the same wishful thinking that decided that Vietnam would be a U.S. ally against neighboring China.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria\u2019s relations with Moscow go back to the 1950s when the Soviet Union provided assistance t0 Algeria in its war for independence, and, in 1960, the Soviets were the first to recognize the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic.<\/p>\n<p>Algeria no doubt noted that the U.S. recently threatened to cut off Saudi Arabia, its biggest weapons customer, when it disagreed with its tactics in Yemen. And in 2013, Washington slowed down the delivery of helicopters to the Egyptian military government that ousted the Muslim Brotherhood government headed by Mohamed Morsi. So, they must be thinking in the El Mouradia Palace,\u00a0<em>If this is how the Americans treat their friends\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The U.S. politicians may think they are defending Israel, though Algeria\u2019s advocacy of the Palestinian cause isn\u2019t news in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>At the recent Arab League summit, hosted by Algeria and the first since Israel normalized relations with several league members, Algeria\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.straitstimes.com\/world\/algeria-hosts-first-arab-summit-since-israel-normalisation-deals\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">brokered a reconciliation<\/a>\u00a0deal between rival Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas. The reconciliation may not last, and Algeria won\u2019t offer material support, i.e., weapons, to the Palestinian fighters, so it may have been an exercise in virtue signaling to the eventual winner of the then-ongoing contest for control of the government in Jerusalem.<\/p>\n<p>Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail and Washington won\u2019t alienate a country with which the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.africaninsider.com\/news\/eu-energy-chief-praises-algeria-partnership\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">European Union seeks<\/a>\u00a0a \u201clong-term strategic partnership\u201d for natural gas and electricity. And France is seeking to repair relations via economic cooperation, though China is now Algeria\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/oec.world\/en\/profile\/country\/dza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biggest trade partner<\/a>.

Accordingly, any energy investments by Beijing will be exclusively for China\u2019s benefit. China is now developing Algeria\u2019s\u00a0El Hamdania Central Port, Algeria\u2019s\u00a0largest and first deep-water\u00a0port<em>\u00a0<\/em>and the second deep-water\u00a0port<em>\u00a0<\/em>in Africa.

America\u2019s failed efforts in the region will prove a rallying cry for Algerians and Arabs that have seen all pain and no gain from Washington\u2019s interventions, aided by its junior partner, Europe. But in fact, Europe may be an effective advocate for Algeria in Washington, if it can make the administration understand that America\u2019s interest in a secure Europe is best served by an Algeria that is cordial with the U.S. but independent, seeking only to advance itself by mutually respectful relations with practical partners.<\/p>\n<p>By James Durso<\/p>\n<p>Source : https:\/\/oilprice.com\/Geopolitics\/Africa\/Why-Washington-Needs-A-Friendlier-Approach-To-This-Major-Gas-Producer.html<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By\u00a0James Durso\u00a0&#8211;
