International Ministerial Conference on Nuclear Power in the 21st Century - Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation 27-29 June 2013. « In this framework, Algeria decided to introduce nuclear power in its energy-mix and plans to build a first nuclear power plant in around 10 years. Preparative actions and gradual implementation of the infrastructure required for the introduction of nuclear power are ongoing and include particularly : Strengthening of national capabilities for training and human resource development for support to nuclear safety and securit; Prospecting for potentiel sites; Adapting the legislative and regulatory framework; Progressive development of a local nuclear industry. » 2. 58th session of the General Conference of the IAEA – Vienna, 22 September 2014. « Algeria wich opted for the use of nuclear energy peaceful purposes, wishes to reaffirm its commitment to the irreplaceable role of IAEA in strengthening national capacity in the nuclear field. » ………….. « My country is closely following the growing interest of countries for the nuclear power option, continues to prepare for the prospect to include this source of energy in its national energy mix, of wich the construction of the first power plant is scheduled for 2027.

  • 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.

  • Desert Locust Outbreak SW Libya and SE Algeria January - June 2012
    Desert Locust Outbreak SW Libya and SE Algeria January - June 2012 Desert Locust Information Service, Rome www.fao.org/ag/locusts 1 June 2012 update Desert Locust outbreak in SW Libya: overview In early January 2012, Desert Locust infestations were reported in SW Libya near Ghat. The infestations originated from local breeding that occurred after unusually good rains in early October 2011. As locust hoppers and adults concentrated in early February, the number and density of infestations increased and an outbreak developed, and adult moved into SE Algeria. Egg-laying occurred in March, followed by hatching and hopper band formation in April, and swarm formation in mid-May. The Libyan national locust program’s capacity to carry out routine monitoring and respond to outbreaks was badly weakened by events in 2011. Access to potentially infested areas along both sides of the border by national survey and control teams is severely restricted due to insecurity. Unless conditions remain favourable, swarms that form in the outbreak area during May are expected to invade Mali and Niger in June. October 2011. Unusually good widespread rains that eventually led to a Desert Locust outbreak During the first decade of October, light rains fell in SW Libya on the 1st, 5th and 6th, and again on the 9th while moderate rains fell on the 7th and 8th. Prior to October, light rain had fallen at times in the same area in March, April, May, June and September. However, the October rains were much heavier and more widespread, extending from Tamanrasset in southern Algeria to Waddan in central Libya.

The area has the Tibesti and Ounianga (Dumont 2014), but I become world famous as an archaeological site, have never published on the Central Saharan where thousands of rock paintings of Neolithic plateau of Tassili-n-Ajjer. Yet, I visited this area age were found (Lhote 1958). It is well isolated of deeply dissected sandstone on six occasions from the Hoggar that extends to the south-west, between 1978 and 1991, and made observations and more or less contiguous with the Mouydir on the local dragonfly fauna. Here, I present the and Tefedest plateaus in the west. The plateau delayed results of this work. Voucher specimens is deeply dissected by the canyons of a number were collected, in addition to field notes on of oueds (or wadis). Most of these run north, observations made in situ, when no specimens although some shorter ones drain towards the were extirpated from nature. Some locations south. Many of these canyons are so deep that were only visited once, others four or five times permanent water can locally be found on their (see below).

  • Algeria–Mali Trade: the Normality of Informality
    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. We also show that official trade statistics are meaningless in this context, as they capture less than 3% of total trade. Profit margins of 20-30% on informal trade contribute to explaining the relative prosperity of northern Mali. Informal trade probably plays a strong role in poverty reduction, especially in Kidal region. Finally, we provide qualitative evidence on informal trade actors and the governance and social impacts of informal trade in North Mali and South Algeria. 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, Olivier François and Laurent Layrol for his work on satellite images, Nancy Benjamin, Thomas Cantens, Mombert Hoppe, Raju Singh and Olivier Walther and the participants of the presentation in the CREAD in Algiers on Jan. 25th 2015 for their comments and Sabra Ledent for editing.

Hachid 1 Ensemble de trois oasis (Adjahil, El-Mihane, Azellouaz), situées de part et d’autre de l’oued Edjéréou (Eğerew), à environ 2 000 Km au sud est d’Alger (par la route) et à 1 200 km à l’est de Ouargla. L’oued qui descend du Tassili en direction du sud vers l’erg Admer porte successivement les noms d’Edjéréou (mer, fleuve très large, en tamâhaq), Eferi et In Debirène ; il est souvent nommé aussi aujourd’hui, oued Djanet. 2 La vallée entre le village d’El Mihane située sur la rive gauche et Adjahil, sur la rive opposée a une largeur qui atteint 750 m et une profondeur d’une centaine de mètres. D’un côté, une falaise de grès presque verticale culmine à 1 200 m, de l’autre, des roches cristallines diverses (granits, rhyolites, schistes cristallins) atteignent la même altitude avec des profils moins raides et plus morcelés.
