Algerian Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui unveiled on Monday a cabinet reshuffle, marking significant changes, including the appointment of the influential Chief of Staff, General Said Chengriha, as Delegate for National Defense. Key new appointments were also made in the Ministries of Justice and Industry.
The reshuffle follows the reappointment of Prime Minister Larbaoui by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who renewed his trust in the Prime Minister after accepting his symbolic resignation—a procedural formality following the presidential election on September 7, which resulted in Tebboune’s re-election at the age of 79.
The presidency confirmed that Larbaoui, who has served as Prime Minister for approximately a year, was instructed to "continue his duties" before announcing the reshuffle. While many key ministers retained their portfolios, some notable changes were introduced.
Key Appointments and Changes
Several high-profile ministers have retained their positions, including:
At 75, Prime Minister Larbaoui brings extensive diplomatic experience to his role. He has previously served as Algeria’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations and held ambassadorial roles multiple times.
Before becoming Prime Minister on November 11, 2023, he was appointed as President Tebboune's Chief of Staff in March 2023.
This cabinet reshuffle reflects President Tebboune’s strategy to maintain stability while introducing fresh leadership in certain sectors to drive reform and efficiency.
Human Rights Watch has accused an Abu Dhabi-based security company of recruiting Colombian private military contractors and deploying them to fight alongside Sudan's Rapid Support Forces (RSF) between 2024 and 2025, adding to what the rights group describes as a growing body of evidence of Emirati military support for the paramilitary group.
Farmers across Sudan say the hike in global fuel and fertilizer costs resulting from the Iran conflict will force them to cut back on planting this summer, restricting food production in a country where war has caused acute hunger.
At least nine people were killed and six others injured when a four-storey building collapsed overnight in the Moroccan city of Fez, about 200 kilometres (124 miles) east of Rabat, local authorities said on Thursday.
