HIBAPRESS reported on Wednesday, citing an official source, that the Algerian authorities decided to relieve their ambassador to Lebanon, Kamal Bouchama, of his duties.
This decision comes after the controversial statements made by Bouchama recently regarding US President Donald Trump, where he called him a "cowboy" and a "psychopath" whose "natural place is a mental hospital, not the presidency of the world's largest power." According to the same source, these statements were considered a violation of the "diplomatic framework" and a "personal opinion that does not represent the Algerian state," pointing out that Bouchama "violated the constants and values on which Algerian diplomacy is based," which necessitated the decision to dismiss him. It is worth mentioning that Kamal Bouchama was appointed as Algeria's ambassador to Lebanon last February, and he was also accredited to Cyprus last May, with permanent residence in Beirut.
