ETS Security Overview - Algeria

As of August 2024, Algeria's threat landscape is shaped by a combination of domestic, regional, and international factors. The country faces persistent security concerns, primarily from Islamist militant groups such as Al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and the Islamic State (IS). Certain areas in Algeria, particularly near the borders with Mali, Niger, Libya, and in parts of the Sahara Desert, are considered high-risk zones due to the presence of armed groups and potential for terrorist activity. It is advisable to avoid travel to these regions unless absolutely necessary.

Domestically, Algeria is experiencing significant political and economic challenges. The political environment remains tense, with public dissatisfaction over corruption, unemployment, and a lack of genuine democratic processes. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's administration is facing increased pressure as the country approaches its next presidential election in 2024. Public protests, like those seen during the Hirak movement, highlight ongoing social unrest fueled by economic hardships and political stagnation. 

In urban areas like Algiers, Oran, and Constantine, petty crime such as pickpocketing, bag snatching, and scams are common, especially in crowded places like markets, public transport hubs, and tourist spots. Foreign nationals may be targeted due to their perceived wealth. Violent crime, including muggings, assaults, and carjackings, can also occur, particularly at night or in less secure neighborhoods. 

Road travel in Algeria can be unpredictable with Infrastructure varying significantly depending on the region. Traffic laws are not always strictly adhered to, and drivers may encounter aggressive driving, including speeding, tailgating, and unpredictable maneuvers. Road traffic accidents are common, and vigilance is necessary, especially at night when visibility is reduced, and many vehicles may lack proper lighting.
