Algeria Restores Death Penalty and Deploys Jets to Niger
Algeria announced the reactivation of the death penalty in specific cases after a 33-year hiatus, aimed primarily at deterrence, especially against the increasing wildfires that have caused human and material losses. This move is part of stricter security and legal measures, and President Tebboune announced a legal amendment to that effect. However, it is reminder that implementation has not yet begun and requires approval from legislative institutions. Meanwhile, Algeria sent four Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets to Niger to support the Nigerien army in countering a military rebellion. This represents a shift in its military policy, moving beyond traditional diplomatic intervention and sparking discussions about a potential change in Algeria’s security doctrine in response to regional challenges.
