Algeria faces disinfo from terrorist groups during outages
Pages affiliated with the "Mak" terrorist movement, which operates from Morocco, exploited a technical malfunction that caused a power outage in several Algerian states to launch a campaign of false news and rumors aimed at stirring chaos and panic. The suspicious accounts claimed that 60 people had died in hospitals due to the failure of ventilators and dialysis machines, a claim not confirmed by official sources, with the goal of spreading fear among citizens. Energy ministry teams and Sonelgaz were able to restore electricity to 16 states within a few hours after repairing the fault. Authorities praised the speed of response and the efficiency of the Algerian infrastructure. Meanwhile, security agencies confirmed the dismantling of a criminal group affiliated with the "Mak" movement that was active during the parliamentary elections, aiming to disrupt the electoral process and confuse the citizens.
