Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune chaired a meeting of the Higher Security Council focusing on wildfires and, significantly, the fight against drug trafficking. Details released indicate a hardening of Algeria’s approach to combating narcotics. The meeting addressed establishing a specialized agency dedicated to countering drug-related crime, particularly within the country’s southern regions. The move suggests a growing concern over the increasing flow of drugs through Algeria. The government appears to be prioritizing enhanced security measures and dedicated resources to tackle this issue. Further details regarding the specialized agency’s structure and operations are expected to be released soon. This signifies a firm stance against narcotics and a commitment to protecting national security.
