Algeria’s president has raised concerns about potential foul play following a surge in wildfires across the country, with authorities documenting over a hundred blazes in recent days. The remarks come amid heightened scrutiny over the causes of the fires, which have prompted investigations into whether arson or other suspicious activity may be involved. Officials have yet to confirm any definitive evidence, but the president’s statement signals a shift toward examining possible deliberate acts. The situation has drawn attention to both environmental risks and security implications as authorities work to contain the fires and determine their origins.
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune says he is not ruling out foul play after 100 wildfires were recorded.
