Macron in one of his statements said that there is "mass manipulation campaigns against France being performed by 'political islamists' in Africa"
Macron also stated that in Turkey, Russia and China there are networks of activism, neo-colonial and imperialist agendas against France. There is only one enemy for them and that is France"
The comments caused strong reactions in Turkey, leading to the Turkish Foreign Minister saying that "hostilities in Africa come from France's colonial past"

Turkey's ties with Algeria have been very strong and its influence is well known, by citing 'political islamists' Macron was undoubtedly referring to Turkey, which led to the reaction cited above. Turkey is seen as one of the countries in the world with the strongest islamic policies despite not being fully theocratic
