The Algerian presidency has launched a scathing verbal attack on the country’s leading Islamist party, sparking questions about the motives behind the criticism and its ties to the municipal and parliamentary elections set for mid-2026.

Amid doubts over its “controlling” motives, the Algerian government has submitted its party law to parliament for discussion and approval, framing the move as a purely reformist step.

Algeria has entered a political and legal debate following the government’s announcement that it would formally lift its reservation on Article 15, paragraph 4, of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW).

Seventy years after the start of the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), French President Emmanuel Macron has finally set the record straight; France killed revolutionary Larbi ben M'hidi, debunking long-standing claims of suicide.

The situation of the Palestinian people, facing Israeli genocide since October 7, 2023, bears striking similarities to that of Algerians during their fight for independence, which ended the long French occupation.
