Algeria suppresses unrest amid criminal probe
Algerian authorities reported widespread wildfires since the beginning of summer, resulting in the death of six people and the evacuation of thousands from their homes, amid temperatures reaching up to 55°C and strong winds. Security investigations suggest that some of the fires may have a criminal background, especially given the increase in the number of fires, which reached 1,555 since early July. The ministry has pledged to compensate those affected and to continue investigations to determine the causes of the fires, noting that most of the wooded areas are located in the northern strip, and that firefighting efforts face difficulties due to the spread of flames and the scattering of hotspots across multiple states.
