Attempt on imam sparks gang debate in Algeria
The Algerian authorities continue their efforts to combat neighborhood gangs that threaten security in residential areas by spreading fear and committing acts of violence and theft. Legally, since 2020, these groups have been defined as ensembles of two or more individuals operating within neighborhoods with the goal of destabilizing safety. The violent acts, which are often promoted through social media platforms, exacerbate the phenomenon. The main causes behind this issue include the widespread availability of drugs, the rise of school dropouts, and unemployment among youth, especially in new urban areas. Despite intensive security campaigns, the phenomenon persists, with the government attempting to dismantle these gangs and address the underlying factors that led to their emergence, amid community reactions to the repeated attacks associated with them.
