Algeria Gate: President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune is taking a tougher stance over irregularities identified in declarations related to import programs. Following revelations by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Export Promotion, the President called in the Prime Minister along with several senior officials from the Trade and Finance sectors to closely examine the data submitted.

The Presidency considers that certain declarations could directly harm the national economy and public funds. Measures are therefore expected against operators accused of submitting false declarations or attempting to divert state resources.

The decision comes as digital tools introduced to monitor provisional import programs have uncovered several irregularities. The ministry has notably flagged suspicious files, duplicate applications, and companies whose actual existence could not be verified on the ground.

The issue has taken on a new dimension following figures revealed in recent days: 3,961 operators employing between zero and five workers submitted import requests worth more than $130 billion for the second half of 2026.

Through this intervention, Abdelmadjid Tebboune is sending a clear message: protecting Algeria’s foreign reserves and public funds will now require much stricter oversight of imports, coupled with firm sanctions against fraudulent practices.

Algeria Gate: On the occasion of the 77th anniversary of the founding of the People’s Republic of China, China’s ambassador to Algeria delivered a speech carrying a strong message: the relationship between Algiers and Beijing has never been more concrete and ambitious.

The Chinese diplomat highlighted the results achieved by the two countries since the beginning of the year. Bilateral trade reached $9 billion in the first half of 2026, up 28%. Even more striking, Algerian exports to China surged by 111%, reaching $980 million.

For Algeria, this momentum opens new prospects on the vast Chinese market and confirms the growing importance of the partnership with Beijing in diversifying trade.

On the ground, cooperation is also taking shape through major projects in the mining, railway, digital and industrial sectors. The development of the western mining project, the phosphate sector and the increasing presence of Chinese companies illustrate this increasingly visible cooperation across the country.

The ambassador also recalled a major historical fact: Algeria’s role in China’s return to its legitimate seat at the United Nations in 1971; an episode that continues to nourish political trust between Algiers and Beijing.

As the two countries deepen their economic and diplomatic cooperation, China clearly regards Algeria as a leading strategic partner in Africa and the Arab world.

The message sent from Algiers is therefore unambiguous: Algerian-Chinese cooperation is entering a new phase, built on shared interests, major projects and a long-term vision.

Tebboune defines the cases for implementing the death penalty!

Death penalty for arsonists and kidnappers of minors!

Algeria Gate: In an exceptional and unprecedented decision, President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, while chairing the Council of Ministers meeting, ordered that the amendments to the Penal Code draft – in addition to his previous directives – limit the application of the death penalty to two cases: kidnappers of minors and those who mistreat them, as well as those who start and organise fires that result in death.
