The treatment of refugees in Algeria has nothing to do with the French, with oil or US hegemony conspiracy theories. It has everything to do with anti black racism of the Algerian government and its agencies.

Witness these quotes:

the presence of African migrants and refugees in several localities of the country could cause problems for the Algerians, notably the spread of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases… Hence, the decision of the Algerian authorities to expel them in order to avoid a catastrophe.

Farouk Ksentini,president of the Algerian National Commission of the Promotion of Human Rights.

The presence of the African migrants and refugees in several places of the country could cause problems for the Algerians, notably the proliferation of AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases… From where, the decision of the Algerian authorities to expel them in order to avoid a catastrophe.

Saïda Benhabylès, president of the Algerian Red Cross.
