France and Algeria have had a complicated relationship for decades.

The Algerian government responded to the latest remarks by recalling its ambassador to France and banning the French military from its airspace.
Algeria says Macron's comments are an 'inadmissible interference' in its internal affairs.
But what's behind this?
And what does it tell us about France's colonial past?
