Algeria's army warns of disinformation, sabotage and drug trafficking plots
The army's El Djeich magazine says hostile campaigns aim to sow doubt about the country's recent achievements and weaken national unity.
In the editorial of its November 2026 issue, the journal of the National Popular Army (ANP), El Djeich, warned that attempts to harm Algeria's security, stability and unity are continuing. It named three forms these attempts take: disinformation, propaganda and manipulation campaigns; sabotage; and organised crime, notably drug trafficking.
According to the editorial, the aim of those behind them is to spread confusion and cast doubt on the large projects Algeria has completed in recent years. The magazine said the plots had failed, because the people remained united and attached to the homeland and its constants.
The editorial said the army would keep strengthening its capabilities for deterrence and defence, citing the regional and international situation and the interdependent nature of the threats the country faces.
