France s 1960s nuclear tests in Algeria still poison ties Issued on: 29/07/2021 - 04:50 Between 1960 and 1966, France conducted 17 atmospheric or underground nuclear tests deep in the Sahara desert of Algeria - AFP/File 4 min Algiers (AFP) More than 60 years since France started its nuclear tests in Algeria, their legacy continues to poison relations between the North African nation and its former colonial ruler.
