  • Algeria 2020 Human Rights Report
    ALGERIA 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Algeria is a multiparty republic whose president, the head of state, is elected by popular vote for a five-year term. The president has the constitutional authority to appoint and dismiss cabinet members and the prime minister, who is the head of government. A 2016 constitutional revision requires the president to consult with the parliamentary majority before appointing the prime minister. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune came to office after winning the December 2019 presidential election, which saw approximately 40-percent voter turnout, following mass popular demonstrations (known as the Hirak) throughout 2019 calling for democratic reforms. Observers characterized the elections as well organized and conducted without significant problems or irregularities, but noted restrictions on civil liberties during the election period and lack of transparency in vote-counting procedures. The 130,000-member National Gendarmerie, which performs police functions outside of urban areas under the auspices of the Ministry of National Defense, and the 200,000-member General Directorate of National Security or national police, under the Ministry of Interior, share responsibility for maintaining law and order. The army is responsible for external security, guarding the country’s borders, and has some domestic security responsibilities. Civilian authorities generally maintained effective control over the security forces. The Ministry of Justice reported no civil, security, or military officials were prosecuted or convicted of torture or other abusive treatment. Members of the security forces committed some abuses. Algeria held a constitutional referendum on November 1. The president and supporters of the referendum argued the new constitution will lead to a greater balance of power between the president and parliament; opponents believed the draft will further consolidate presidential power and did not include sufficient governance and human rights reforms.

  • Algeria's Hirak at a Crossroad
    POLICY OUTLOOK POLICY OUTLOOK DISCUSSION PAPER Algeria’s Hirak at a Crossroad: Towards an Impasse or Progress? Elif Zaim (Enes Canlı - Anadolu Agency) This policy outlook examines the two years since the emergence of the Hirak. In doing so, it discusses the major events that took place, assessing the Algerian regime’s attempts to ease public pressure by making superficial changes while maintaining its grip on power. The outlook also focuses on the Hirak’s political performance and evaluates the movements’ predicaments as well as its future prospects. The opinions expressed in this policy outlook represent the views of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect the views of the TRT World Research Centre. POLICY OUTLOOK he new year began hastily in Algeria as news broke of the acquittal of deposed President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s younger brother Said, along with two former in- telligence chiefs by a military court. Said TBouteflika, Lieutenant General Mohamed Mediene, and Major General Athmane Tartag had been sentenced to 15 years in prison in September 2019 based on charges of conspiring against the state and army. Their arrests were part of a wave of detentions targeting Bouteflika’s close al- lies. These purges of the old guard have been pointed out as one of the most significant tangible results of the Hirak, the mass protest movement in which people took to the streets to publicly oppose the ailing President Bouteflika’s decision to run for a fifth term in February 2019. Since then, the movement had been demonstrating persistently every Then-President of Algeria Abdelaziz Bouteflika arrives to cast his week until the coronavirus outbreak.

    Arab Dispatch - a project by the NATO Defense College Foundation Issue n. 31 13th – 20th December North Africa #Algeria - Abdelmadjid Tebboune sworn in as new President On the 19th of December, Abdelmadjid Tebboune was sworn in as the new President of Algeria after winning a widely controversial election. Mr. Tebboune, a former senior official and minister under Bouteflika, won the race outright with 58% of the vote, ensuring there will be no second round. The election was strongly contested by the Hirak protest movement that has been taking the streets of the North African country since February. Protestors boycotted the election and rejected Tebboune’s victory affirming that the vote was a sham and no real change will come from this election, since the newly elected President is seen as member of the apparatus that governed the country for the last twenty years. In this regard, particularly important for the legitimacy of the new President was the turnout. Authorities affirmed it was 40%, a figure that, in their view, vindicated the decision to hold the election, while protestors believed the data had been widely falsified by the government.

    Arab Dispatch - a project by the NATO Defense College Foundation Issue n. 17/20 15th – 22nd October North Africa #Algeria – French supports the controversial referendum on constitutional amendments Source: The Nation Press Arab – The Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron On the 15th of October, the Algerian President, Abdelmajid Tabboune, met with the French Foreign Minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian, to ask support for the referendum on the constitutional amendments, scheduled for the 1st of November. On the 24th of August, after unprecedented popular protests, arrested only by the global pandemic emergency, the office of President Tebboune announced a referendum on a revised constitution, in response to the protest’s movement. The constitution’s amendments are expected to foster democracy and to give the parliament a greater role. Additionally, the revised constitution should reduce the authority of the Presidency, limited to two mandates, and guarantee the separation and balance of powers. However, protesters rejected the proposal asking for more effective reforms. During Bouteflika’s two-decade presidency, the constitution has been modified several times in accordance with the president’s requirements. In February 2019, protests erupted all over the country, after the former president announced his plan to keep the presidency for his fifth term. The Algerian army Chief of Staff, Said Chengriha, urged for wide participation, since the referendum represents the only opportunity for the Algerians, especially for the youngest generations, to determinate the future of their country and asked them to stand united with the army and to reject any external conspiration. The Army has repeatedly accused local parties of supporting foreign conspiracy that risks to sabotage any political project, while the opposition parties blamed the military authorities of interfering in politics.
