Algeria was waiting to join BRICS for a long time. Algeria's Dejair Tube has quoted sources as saying that the French intelligence agency had contacted its Indian counterparts before the BRICS conference. France had requested India to stop Algeria's entry into the organization. The purpose of this step was to stop the growing influence of Algeria in the Sahel region. Besides, relations between China and Algeria are also strengthening. France did not want Algeria to strengthen China in its territory at its cost. This step is being termed as a kind of revenge taken by France from Algeria.
Tension in France and Algeria
Tension has increased between Paris and Algeria since the coup in Niger. The coup in Niger is the latest example of an anti-Western movement in the Sahel region. Since then, Algeria has opposed the ECOWAS military operation in Niger. At the same time, the country has emphasized the role of dialogue in the peaceful resolution of the crisis. Apart from this, it has not allowed French military planes to fly in Algerian airspace. This conspiracy of France was revealed at the summit in South Africa.

Cradal Magazine has written that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi saw an opportunity in the request of French President Emmanuel Macron. It is being told that Western help was offered to the officials so that India could increase its influence in these places which were left as former colonies of France. France has maintained strong relations with the governments of India for decades. When India conducted nuclear tests in 1998, France was the only country in the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) that supported India. After this, when the special status given to Kashmir was abolished in the year 2019, even then France supported this move in the United Nations. Apart from this, with the help of many defense agreements with India, both the countries have become very close.
