Algerian Fires Cause 200 Deaths
Algerian authorities remain silent regarding the true toll of the fires that swept through the eastern part of the country between August 26 and 30. Independent reports suggest that at least 200 people have been killed in the state of Jijel alone, while the government has only officially announced 12 deaths. The fires, which broke out under harsh weather conditions—temperatures exceeding 45°C and strong winds—destroyed wide areas, especially in Jijel and Bgayet, resulting in hundreds of victims, some of whom were buried without the benefit of DNA analysis. Reports confirm a significant increase in the death toll and note that official figures have not changed since the start of the disaster, raising questions about the country's preparedness to face such events. This skepticism persists despite authorities clinging to the theory of criminal motives behind the fires, even though no clear evidence has been presented to support this claim.
