Algeria Blames Opponent for Forest Fires
The Algerian authorities have officially accused opposition YouTuber Amir Boukhris, who resides in France, of paying two individuals to set forest fires in eastern Algeria last summer. These fires resulted in extensive destruction, as well as significant human and material losses. The charges allege that Boukhris exploited their social circumstances and enticed them with money to carry out acts of sabotage aimed at destabilizing the country’s security and stability, as part of a plan to serve foreign interests and worsen internal tensions. These accusations come amid a broader escalation by the Algerian authorities against dissidents and a rise in tensions between Algeria and France. Authorities regard Boukhris as one of the tools of treachery directed against the state. This case marks the first official indication of a specific party involved in the summer fires, with additional evidence expected to be presented on state television channels.
