Algeria builds desert prison for this group
Algerian authorities announced the establishment of a highly secure prison in the heart of the Sahara Desert, specifically for drug barons and traffickers. This decision comes after security forces successfully seized over 10.5 million drug pills, 33 kilograms of cocaine, and detained 27 individuals involved in an organized network operating inside and outside the country. The decision was made following a meeting of the Supreme Security Council, led by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, in the wake of efforts to combat drug trafficking and recent fires that affected the eastern and central regions of the country. The new prison is located in the Tinzrouft Desert, between the Adrar and Bourj Baji Mokhtar provinces, an area characterized by extreme heat and harsh terrain. The goal of establishing this prison is to curb drug trafficking activities that threaten the country's stability, amid intensified security efforts to track down trafficking networks and fight drug consumption.
