Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune terminated the duties of Algeria’s ambassador to Cairo, Hassan Rabhi, just one day after he handed over his credentials to the Egyptian government, and less than a week after assuming his duties.
Diplomatic sources reported that President Tebboune issued a decision to terminate Ambassador Rabhi’s duties the day before yesterday, Thursday, making him one of the fastest changes in the Algerian diplomatic corps.
Rabhi was appointed to this position at the beginning of last April, succeeding Ambassador Abdelaziz bin Ali Sharif, and on April 12, the Algerian Foreign Ministry announced the Egyptian government’s approval of his appointment as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Republic of Algeria to the Arab Republic of Egypt.
The reasons behind the decision to terminate Ambassador Rabhi’s duties so quickly were not clear, and it was not known whether the decision was related to his assignment to other government duties, especially since he served as Minister of Communications in 2019, before assuming the position of Algerian Ambassador to Beijing.
Pending the appointment of a new Algerian ambassador to Cairo, the name of the current ambassador to Beirut, Rachid Belbaki, has been put forward as a possible candidate.
It is noteworthy that the Algerian embassy in Cairo has witnessed the circulation of five ambassadors since 2019, starting with Saleh Lajroui, then Abdelhamid Shabira, then Abdelaziz bin Ali Sharif, and finally Hassan Rabhi, who did not continue in his position.
