Morocco accused Algeria of facilitating the transfer of weapons from Iran and the alleged military training provided to Polisario troops by the Lebanese group Hezbollah. The Turkish press agency Anadolu claimed that Algeria is now pondering the expulsion of Moroccan diplomats. In Bejaia, the committee to support Cevital workers is calling for a “popular protest” in the downtown area of the city to denounce the blockade of Cevital shipping containers at the local port, and the inaction of authorities regarding the dispute. The committee claimed that releasing the containers would help create thousands of jobs in the province. Municipal workers held a protest in Bejaia on 4 May to demand a salary increase, and the reinstatement of the early retirement system. While no incidents were reported during the protest, the unionists vowed to intensify their action in the near future. Air Algeria operations are likely to be disrupted yet again next week, as the union of maintenance engineers announced an upcoming strike to protest the company’s refusal to negotiate salary re-evaluations. Domestic and international flights are expected to be cancelled. Commercial in Confidence & Subject to Contract 2 Copyright Constellis 2018. All rights reserved.

  • Forecasting the Upwelling Phenomenon Using an Artificial Neural Network
    POLISH JOURNAL OF SOIL SCIENCE VOL. LIII/2 2020 PL ISSN 0079-2985 DOI: 10.17951/pjss/2020.53.2.245 CHAFAI BOUZEGAG*, ***, SOUAD BOUZID-LAGHA*, ***, NACEREDDINE DJELAL**, *** FORECASTING THE UPWELLING PHENOMENON USING AN ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK Received: 12.12.2019 Accepted: 08.09.2020 123Abstract. In this paper, we investigate the upwelling phenomenon using data of 97 monitoring stations in Ouargla and El Oued valleys located in the Low Septentrional Sahara south of Algeria. This research paper constitutes a contribution to the morphological, hydrological, hydrogeological study of the water table in order to understand the processes of upwelling groundwater. By using ArcGIS as a mapping tool, we worked on real UTM coordinates in X and Y for real data overlay drawn maps in clear and usable way of this phenomenon. On the other hand, we propose a new method based on neural network to model the level fluctuation of the groundwater as well as to predict the evolution of the water table level. The obtained model allows us to warm this harmful phenomenon and plan sustainable solutions to protect the environment. The finding shows that the obtained model provides more significant accuracy rate and it drives more robustness in very challenging situation such as the heterogeneity of the data and sudden climate change comparing to the related research.

  • Algeria Upstream OG Report.Pub
    ALGERIA UPSTREAM OIL & GAS REPORT Completed by: M. Smith, Sr. Commercial Officer, K. Achab, Sr. Commercial Specialist, and B. Olinger, Research Assistant Introduction Regulatory Environment Current Market Trends Technical Barriers to Trade and More Competitive Landscape Upcoming Events Best Prospects for U.S. Exporters Industry Resources Introduction Oil and gas have long been the backbone of the Algerian economy thanks to its vast oil and gas reserves, favorable geology, and new opportunities for both conventional and unconventional discovery/production. Unfortunately, the collapse in oil prices beginning in 2014 and the transition to spot market pricing for natural gas over the last three years revealed the weaknesses of this economic model. Because Algeria has not meaningfully diversified its economy since 2014, oil and gas production is even more essential than ever before to the government’s revenue base and political stability. Today’s conjoined global health and economic crises, coupled with persistent declining production levels, have therefore placed Algeria’s oil and gas industry, and the country, at a critical juncture where it requires ample foreign investment and effective technology transfer. One path to the future includes undertaking new oil and gas projects in partnership with international companies (large and small) to revitalize production. The other path, marked by inertia and institutional resistance to change, leads to oil and gas production levels in ten years that will be half of today's production levels. After two decades of autocracy, Algeria’s recent passage of a New Hydrocarbons Law seems to indicate that the country may choose the path of partnership by profoundly changing its tax and investment laws in the hydrocarbons sector to re-attract international oil companies.

  • Algeria–Mali Trade: the Normality of Informality
    101137 DEMOCRACY Public Disclosure Authorized AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ERF 21st ANNUAL CONFERENCE March 20-22, 2015 | Gammarth, Tunisia 2015 Public Disclosure Authorized Algeria–Mali Trade: The Normality of Informality Sami Bensassi, Anne Brockmeyer, Public Disclosure Authorized Matthieu Pellerin and Gael Raballand Public Disclosure Authorized Algeria–Mali Trade: The Normality of Informality Sami Bensassi Anne Brockmeyer Mathieu Pellerin Gaël Raballand1 Abstract This paper estimates the volume of informal trade between Algeria and Mali and analyzes its determinants and mechanisms, using a multi-pronged methodology. First, we discuss how subsidy policies and the legal framework create incentives for informal trade across the Sahara. Second, we provide evidence of the importance of informal trade, drawing on satellite images and surveys with informal traders in Mali and Algeria. We estimate that the weekly turnover of informal trade fell from approximately US$ 2 million in 2011 to US$ 0.74 million in 2014, but continues to play a crucial role in the economies of northern Mali and southern Algeria. Profit margins of 20-30% on informal trade contribute to explaining the relative prosperity of northern Mali. We also show that official trade statistics are meaningless in this context, as they capture less than 3% of total trade. Finally, we provide qualitative evidence on informal trade actors and mechanisms for the most frequently traded products. JEL classification codes: F14, H26, J46. Keywords: informal trade, Algeria, Mali, fuel, customs. 1 The authors would like to thank Mehdi Benyagoub for his help on this study, Laurent Layrol for his work on satellite images, Nancy Benjamin and Olivier Walther for their comments and Sabra Ledent for editing.

  • A Case Study of Solar Photovoltaic Generator System at Different Locations in Algeria
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC & TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH VOLUME 4, ISSUE 03, MARCH 2015 ISSN 2277-8616 A Case Study Of Solar Photovoltaic Generator System At Different Locations In Algeria Salmi Mohamed, Yarub Al-Douri Abstract: The aim of this study is the evaluation of a photovoltaic system at different locations in Algeria. We have calculated the system efficiency, the solar energy captured by the system and the electrical energy output. An economic study of a photovoltaic station has been done by estimating the cost of this project operating for a period of 25 years. To achieve this goal, we have selected four regions of the Algerian territory, differing in their climatological parameters: Algiers, Constantine, Oran and Tamanrasset. The measured monthly global solar radiation and temperatures values are taken during six years (2000-2005) from the different meteorological stations. The obtained results have revealed that the calculated electrical power for Tamanrasset was the highest one (3581kWh), the best efficiency was in Constantine (10.3%), however the lowest cost of the project was in Algie4rs and Oran (769.7kDZ). Index Terms— Solar Radiation; Photovoltaic’s Generator, Estimation; Electrical Power; Algeria. ———————————————————— 1 INTRODUCTION 2 ALGERIAN METEOROLOGICAL SITES Nowadays, the solar energy is one of the most powerful and The following data are used in this work: promising renewable energies for the future.

  • The Distressing Image of the Anarchic Constructions That Proliferated from Maghnia to Tebessa ”
    “ The distressing image of the anarchic constructions that proliferated from Maghnia to Tebessa ” President Abdelaziz Bouteflika: 19th December, 2006 The Government declares war on precarious housing and slums THE BATTLE OF GREATER ALGIERS “PRESIDENT BOUTEFLIKA FREES ALGERIA OF ITS ACUTE HOUSING CRISIS” Upon taking office in April 1999, President Abdelaziz Bouteflika had grasped the extent of the housing crisis and its devastating impact on millions of Algerians. He had made this issue a priority as well as the restoration of peace, the upgrading of the infrastructural level and the enhancement of Algeria’s position internationally. He promised to resolve this «scourge» and he duly kept all his promises. Since the Algerian people elected Abdellaziz Bouteflika, President of the Republic in 1999, nearly 2.8 million new housing units have been delivered across all provinces of the country. A historical performance, that even his fiercest opponents are forced to recognize today by retreating into a “talking” silence, achieved thanks to the total commitment of the Government led by Abdelmalek Sellal and the remarkable return of a statesman namely Abdelmadjid Tebboune, to the helm of a sector he knows perfectly. But who would have thought that the Algerian capital, completely disfigured in the 1990s, would be fully cleared of misfortune outgrowths in a record time? Who would have sincerely believed that, including the optimists? It took men of the caliber of Tebboune and the tireless Zoukh Abdelkader, Wali or Governor of Algiers, to commit body and soul to a «fight» of the Titans to give back “Algiers the White” its pristine reputation.
