Algeria: A Nation Lost Amid Global Warnings
While people around the world travel freely between countries, why does Algeria remain surrounded by a wall of warnings from major powers like France and the United States, advising their citizens against visiting the country?
Could these warnings be considered international alarm bells highlighting the gravity of the situation? Do they not suggest that Algeria has become a land perceived as unsafe, hiding a profound crisis that its regime cannot overcome?
Does each alert not confirm that Algeria, contrary to the regime’s claims, cannot provide even the minimum level of security for its citizens? If so, how could a tourist find anything worth the risk? The abduction of a Spanish tourist in southern Algeria and their subsequent transfer to Mali starkly highlights a glaring inability to address security threats.
Why does a country that claims to have one of the largest armies in the region fail to prevent terrorist incursions? Are the authorities deliberately turning a blind eye to these critical issues?
While other nations train their forces to ensure the safety of citizens and visitors, why does the Algerian regime restrict itself to media silence and evading responsibility? Does this silence not reveal an inability to confront internal and external threats?
In this context, how can a country like Algeria hope to build a promising tourism future? Can tourists genuinely trust a place where security seems to be a neglected priority?
With its untapped natural resources, is Algeria doomed to remain absent from the global tourism stage simply because its regime refuses to face reality?
