16:41, 22 April 2017 SaturdayMorocco says Algeria expelled 55 refugees across borderWorld Bulletin / News DeskMorocco has accused Algeria of expelling 55 Syrian refugees across the countries' shared border, criticising it for "inhumane behaviour" in the latest row between the North African rivals. "This is not the first time that the Algerian authorities have expelled imrefugees to Moroccan territory," it said. In mid-March, a Moroccan refugee rights group, GADEM, reported that around 30 sub-Saharan refugees had been arrested in Morocco then left stranded in no man's land between Morocco and Algeria, having been deported from both countries. In January 2014, Morocco summoned Algeria's ambassador to protest its alleged expulsion of Syrians across their common border. Algeria responded in kind, saying its border guards had merely refused to allow Syrians deported by Morocco to enter its territory.
