Morocco on Wednesday decided to recall its ambassador to Algeria over President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's "provocative" comments about the disputed Western Sahara, the foreign ministry said.

"This decision comes after a growing number of provocative and hostile acts by Algeria, towards the kingdom," and particularly a speech by the Algerian head of state at a meeting in Abuja on Monday, the Moroccan ministry said in a statement.
