Le contrôle des migrations est devenu un enjeu omniprésent dans les discours publics et les interventions gouvernementales à travers l’Afrique du Nord. Toutefois, la situation algérienne reste largement méconnue. Ce rapport vise donc à contribuer à combler cette lacune 9/

La solidarité internationale que l’État algérien exprime parfois apparaît aujourd’hui conditionnelle et sélective, motivée par les luttes internes au régime pour l’accès aux rentes petrolieres et, au mieux, par des "stratégies antiimpérialistes" de politique étrangère 8/ al-forum.org/fr/suppressi...

Sofian Philip Naceur @sofiannaceur.bsky.social · 04/09/2025
Les représailles de l’État contre les harraga, la précarité fabriquée imposée à des milliers de personnes et le racisme systémique (re)produit par l’État et par une grande partie de la société contrastent fortement avec le passé anti-impérialiste de l’Algérie 7/ al-forum.org/fr/suppressi...

Sous la présidence de Tebboune, l’État a cependant amorcé un revirement prudent, intensifiant sa coopération (anti-)migratoire avec l’Allemagne, l’Italie, l’OIM et la Ligue arabe, notamment en matière de la colloboration policière et en vue d’expulsions 6/ al-forum.org/fr/suppressi...

Dans le passé, l’Algérie, contrairement à ses voisins, était considérée comme extrêmement réticente à s’intégrer officiellement dans le régime frontalier européen, refusant presque systématiquement de participer aux projets de "gestion des frontières" financés par l’Europe 5/

L’image d’une "Nouvelle Algérie" prospère, propagée par le régime post-Hirak, est toutefois largement contredite par le nombre croissant des harraga Algériens qui préfèrent à nouveau risquer la migration clandestine plutôt que de rester dans le pays 4/ al-forum.org/fr/suppressi...

The deals with #Switzerland and #ICMPD materialise shortly after #Algeria had abandoned its reluctance in formal anti-migration cooperation with European states. In January, Algiers had already signed a police protocol with #Italy and,in recent years, expanded police cooperation with #Germany 5/

Part of the Algeria-ICMPD cooperation appears to be #Algeria-s participation in #ICMPD-s regional Malta-based Training Institute on how to suppress migration movement.

The Algerian government nourishes the country’s alienation from its African neighbors by fueling racism, exploitation and the continuation of intermediary repression, helped along by EU agencies, EU governments, UN-affiliated bodies and neighboring states 9/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

Today, the international solidarity occasionally vocalised by the #Algeria-n state is a conditional and selective one that is limited by the regime’s internal tug-of-war over access to hydrocarbon revenues and, at best, the “anti-imperialist strategies” of foreign policy 8/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

Sofian Philip Naceur @sofiannaceur.bsky.social · 19/06/2025
As of today, however, only traces of this once staunch alignment with the Global South remain. Yet the state maintains a political imagery and foreign policy nurtured by the spirit of the post-colonial #Algeria of the 1960s and 70s 7/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

The state’s reprisals against non-Algerian harraga, their precarisation and the widespread racism (re-)produced by the state and large parts of society are, however,in stark contrast to #Algeria-s anti-imperialist past 6/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

Under President #Tebboune and army chief #Chengriha, however, the state initiated a cautious turnaround and expanded its (anti-)migration cooperation with #Italy, #Germany and #IOM, mostly in regards to police training and deportation cooperation 5/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

In the past, #Algeria, unlike neighboring countries, was considered extremely reluctant to formally integrate into the European border regime, near-consistently refusing to take part in Europe-funded ‘border management’ projects 4/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...

The image of a prosperous New Algeria, propagated by President #Tebboune & the regime since 2021, is strongly contradicted by the reporting about the increasing number of Algerian harraga who are once again favoring the risks of clandestine migration over remaining in #Algeria 3/

In 2023, #Algeria responded to #Tunisia-s new deportation practices by also tightening migration control. Mass expulsions of people by ALG authorities to #Niger were expanded while the state deports more & more people to #Libya & once again, to #Morocco 2/ ftdes.net/en/suppressi...
