Algeria has engaged in multiple diplomatic efforts regarding African security and regional stability. During the ‘Amnesty Month in Africa’ in Algiers, Foreign Minister Ahmed Attaf advocated for ‘African solutions to African problems,’ emphasizing the need for the continent to utilize its own mechanisms for conflict prevention and arms control to avoid foreign intervention. Following these discussions, Algerian Prime Minister Sifi Ghrieb participated in an African Union high-level committee summit to address the political situation in South Sudan. Concurrently, Algerian officials met with French Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin to discuss restarting judicial cooperation between the two nations, specifically regarding financial crime, despite concerns from observers regarding the treatment of political dissidents. In a subsequent virtual meeting of the African Union’s High-Level Ad Hoc Committee (C5), the focus on South Sudan intensified as the country faces pressure to establish a roadmap for national elections anticipated for December 2026. While President Salva Kiir assured regional leaders that legal preparations are complete and the transitional unity government has been dissolved, leaders expressed concern regarding the stability of the transition. South African President Cyril Ramaphosa emphasized that the 2018 peace agreement must remain the primary legal framework, while Djibouti President Ismail Omar Guelleh called for a consensus-based roadmap to protect previous peace gains. Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune also addressed the summit, urging signatories of the peace agreement to engage in ‘inclusive political dialogue’ and prioritize national interest to ensure a successful transition.
