The Movement for the Liberation of Southern Algeria declares that it is carrying out a series of military operations against certain positions of the Algerian army along the Malian border.
Several Algerian soldiers were killed or injured in this area, according to a provisional report from local sources in Timiaouine and Bordj Badji Mokhtar.
In this context, General Said Chengriha, head of the People’s National Army (ANP), ordered the deployment of a mechanized battalion from the fourth military region to reinforce the military bases located in the south of the country.
Measures have been taken by the power in Algiers to subdue the effervescence of the independentist regions of the south.

The southern region of Algeria has had a history marked by various rebellions and protest movements, often linked to socio-economic and political demands. These rebellions reflect the challenges facing the region, particularly in terms of development, minority rights and governance.
One of the most notable rebellions in southern Algeria is that led by the Movement for the Self-Determination of Azawad.
This movement, composed mainly of Tuaregs, demands self-determination and recognition of its cultural identity and political rights.
The MAA rebellion was suppressed by the Algerian government, leaving traces of deep resentment in the region. It highlighted the economic and social disparities between the north and the south of Algeria, as well as the ethnic and cultural tensions that persist.
Over the years, other movements have emerged, particularly in Kabylia, whose ten million inhabitants are also demanding independence for their vast territory.
