Algeria takes over fires Bouteflika reshuffles cabinet
The Algerian authorities have gained control of 33 fires that broke out between September 1 and September 2, 2026, across several regions, including fires in vegetation cover, agricultural crops, and date palm oases. As of this morning, there are no active hotspots remaining. This achievement comes as part of efforts for prevention and early intervention, following President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's directive to impose penalties for intentionally setting fires—especially after the recent wildfires resulted in approximately 73 fatalities, hundreds of injuries, and significant material and livestock losses. This development coincided with a partial ministerial reshuffle involving four government portfolios, aimed at improving governmental performance amid sensitive climatic conditions.
