La Mise En Service De La Station De Dessalement De Cap-Djenet Compromise L’Algérie profonde / Actualités Boumerdès La mise en service de la station de dessalement de Cap-Djenet compromise De grands projets de développement à l’image de la station de dessalement de Cap-Djenet ou celui d’un gazoduc de 16 pouces sont actuellement bloqués, à cause des oppositions imprévues faites par des riverains et des familles propriétaires. Selon le wali qui a fait ces révélations, les 100 000 m3 d’eau produits par la station qui est déjà prête sont jetés dans la mer à cause du non-achèvement de la partie aval du projet, soit les conduites alimentant des dizaines de communes de la wilaya. La raison, deux oppositions, une enregistrée à Cap Djenet et l’autre à Zemmouri, empêchent le raccordement des populations de Dellys, Afir, Zemmouri, Sidi Daoud et Legata en eau potable à partir de la station de dessalement de Cap Djenet. Le reste de la conduite a été réalisé grâce à dix réquisitions de la force publique. Pis encore, à Bordj Menaiel, des citoyens ont empêché Sonatrach d’intervenir pour réparer un gazoduc qui allait faire exploser toute la région Est de la wilaya, a indiqué le wali, Kamel Abbas. Et là encore, il a fallu l’intervention des gendarmes pour éviter le pire. Ces mêmes personnes s’opposent actuellement à la réalisation des travaux de réalisation d’un gazoduc de 16 pouces reliant Bordj Menaiel à Tizi Ouzou. Bien qu’il ne reste 160 m à réaliser pour raccorder ce gazoduc au terminal de Sonatrach, une opposition farouche bloque le projet, et toutes les tentatives effectuées à l’amiable n’ont pas abouti, a indiqué le chef de l’exécutif. Ainsi, ce sont plusieurs communes de la wilaya de Boumerdès et de Tizi Ouzou qui sont pénalisées à cause de ce blocage. “On ne pourra même pas faire des extensions et autres réalisations liées à l’alimentation en gaz naturel si cette situation persiste”, a ajouté le chef de l’exécutif. Bien que la Société algérienne de gestion du réseau de transport du gaz (GRTG), propriétaire du réseau de transport de gaz en Algérie, ait proposé des indemnisations à 1800 DA le m2, cette famille a refusé. “Pourtant, c’est un droit de servitude et non un droit de passage. On a réalisé 17 km mais on a été stoppés à cause de 160 m2”, a précisé le même responsable. Autres projets à l’arrêt à cause de ces oppositions. Le réservoir d’eau potable de Ben Hamza (commune de Baghlia), où là encore des propriétaires ont signifié une fin de non-recevoir aux entreprises chargées de la réalisation de ce projet. à Naciria, c’est le projet d’un ouvrage d’art qui est bloqué pour des raisons similaires. à Zâatra (commune de Zemmouri), c’est un centre d’enfouissement régional qui est à l’arrêt. Des citoyens sont carrément intervenus pour refuser l’installation du chantier de l’entreprise en charge de la réalisation du projet. à Taourgua, un groupe de citoyens a empêché l’utilisation des servitudes pour la réalisation d’une conduite d’énergie électrique devant alimenter une partie de la wilaya de Tizi Ouzou. à Bordj Menaiel, c’est un projet de réalisation d’une piscine semi-olympique inscrite 2010 qui est à l’arrêt, à cause de l’opposition d’une famille qui revendique la propriété de l’assiette de terrain. Toujours dans la même commune, une autre personne empêche la réalisation de nombreux programmes de logements et d’équipements publics sous prétexte que la moitié de Bordj Menaiel, soit 300 ha, lui appartient. L’affaire est pendante en justice, ce qui va retarder le lancement des nombreux projets inscrits pour cette commune, comme cela a été le cas à Benrahmoune (commune de Corso), où des propriétaires se sont opposés à la réalisation d’un projet d’utilité publique. “Il a fallu 5 mois de procédures judiciaires pour le lancement de ce projet”, a expliqué le chef de l’exécutif. “On ne peut pas développer une wilaya avec des oppositions et avec la force publique, j’aurais souhaité que les élus, les comités de village, les associations, les notables participent au règlement de ces problèmes”, dira encore M. Abbas. Reste à savoir si les élus, visiblement très occupés ces derniers temps par la campagne électorale, vont entendre le cri d’alarme lancé par le premier responsable de la wilaya pour éviter le pire aux populations à qui on ne cesse de demander d’aller voter massivement le 10 mai.

En particulier, il n’a pas été possible pour chaque membre de la mission, de revoir le document final et d’essayer d’harmoniser les différents paragraphes, lors d’une réunion de concertation qui n’a pu avoir lieu, faute de temps. De même la numérotation des photos n’est pas optimale. Ce document doit donc être considéré essentiellement comme un « Rapport préliminaire », qui sera disponible sur le site nouveau de l’AFPS (www.afps-seisme.org). Nous espérons que les lecteurs comprendront toutes ces difficultés. Par ailleurs, ce document sera suivi, par la suite d’un document plus complet, sous la forme d’un cahier spécial, qui intégrera des contributions de nos collègues algériens du CGS, en particulier, et que l’AFPS espère pouvoir publier à l’automne. Enfin, la contribution de Victor Davidovici a fait l’objet d’un rapport plus complet, pour le compte du Ministère algérien de l’Habitat.

    CHAPTER 2 TERRORISM IN ALGERIA A number of historical developments have influenced the emergence of Algeria as one of the hotspots for terrorism-related activities in Africa. These developments have influenced not only Algeria and its immediate region but also terror networks elsewhere, including Europe. As well as posing a domestic threat, Algerian Islamists have also contributed to transnational terrorism. In addition to these two dimensions, the development of extreme political thought was influenced by internal as well as external developments over a relatively long period. In order to understand and analyse current developments, one needs to consider the historical background of the primary role-players and the underlying factors contributing to these developments. This chapter also corrects the common misconception that the trouble in Algeria started with the return of Algerian Afghan Mujahideen and the cancellation of the elections in 1992. Although the Mujahideen played an important role in the establishment of radical groups such as the GIA and later the GSPC, existing domestic circumstances provided favourable circumstances for Salafi principles to flourish in the political cells of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS). As indicated in Chapter 1, the influence of al-Qa’eda is also not a new phenomenon. In addition to the fact that Salafi theory and ideals cut across organisations in providing a common language between organisations throughout the world, the open alignment of the GSPC with al-Qa’eda should rather be seen as a return to an earlier relationship with extremists in Algeria that was tarnished by the GIA during its indiscriminate killing of civilians.

In the field of seismic risk prevention in Algeria, the earthquake of El Asnam, 10/10/1980 is the triggering event and that of Zemmouri 21/05/2003 the accelerating element of the policy already in place. These two major events have been rich in information, as they are among the most studied internationally. The approaches and the development of methods for seismic risk reduction are based largely on feedback. The fundamental goal of seismic risk reduction is to avoid loss of life, which is mainly due to the partial or total collapse of structures. Exploiting lessons learned from past earthquakes is reflected in code requirements for new projects and approaches to vulnerability estimation for existing structures. In this paper, we give a description of the characteristics of the two events. The analysis of pathologies observed and the impact on the Algerian seismic code is discussed. 1 Introduction 2 Expertise protocol Historically, northern Algeria experienced several seismic Damage to buildings is closely related to several factors events [1]. The two major earthquakes that have occurred in such as: building parameters, geological and geotechnical Algeria, El Asnam (1980) Ms=7.3 and Zemmouri (2003) conditions, and to the severity of the seismic event.

  • 2006 Earthquake
    Earthquakes- induced landslides in Algeria: The th Laalam, March 20 (Mw=5.2), 2006 earthquake Y. Bouhadad Earthquake engineering center (CGS) Rue Kadour, H.Dey, Algiers. [email protected], [email protected] SUMMARY: Northern Algeria is a prone area for moderate-sized and strong destructive earthquakes because of its tectonic setting in the Africa-Eurasia plate boundary. The country suffered, historically, from induced landslides. Indeed, in addition to ground motion the effects of earthquakes has made heavier by the induced landslide effects. On th March 20 , 2006 a moderate-sized earthquake (Mw=5.2) struck the Laalam (NE- Algeria) region. During this seismic event damage was centered in the Laalam village where four deaths, 68 injured and more than 40 housing units have been destroyed making dozens of peoples homeless. Damage and casualties are directly related to an earthquake-induced landslide occurred at10 km far from the epicenter favored by local geological and geomorphologic conditions. Keywords: Landslide, hazard, earthquake, Algeria, damage. 1-INTRODUCTION Earthquake hazards include numerous phenomenons such us direct vibratory effect (shaking) and the secondary induced effects among with landslides, liquefactions and tsunamis (figure 1). The induced effects, throughout the world, may be the main cause of damage and casualties as observed during the recent extreme disasters caused by the 2004 Sumatra and 2011Tohoku giant earthquakes. Effects of landslides during earthquakes may be the cause of destructions of houses and lifelines; it may also obtrude rivers and cause flooding (Wang et al., 2007). On the other hand, it may obtrude ways of rescue delaying, hence, relief operations during earthquakes disasters.
