In sight of this, Algeria’s Prime Minister, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, announced on July 12th he would address the issue by establishing an inter-ministerial committee regrouping the three concerned ministries. “This entity will be tasked with producing a detailed report on the feasibility of industrial zones projects proposed by the industry and mining ministries. It will also draw drafts required for the efficient use and management of available land”, indicates the government’s statement relayed by the media.
