Algeria responded quietly to the U.S. reaffirmation of its support for Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara, issuing a brief statement expressing regret without resorting to its usual diplomatic measures, such as recalling its ambassador. 

Algeria, known for its usual rhetoric of threats and tension, is now facing unprecedented diplomatic isolation.

 It has lost support from African Sahel countries, some of which have closed their airspace to flights from Algeria.
