Algeria is navigating internal and external political pressures within the Maghreb region. Internally, the country faces a generational transition and the ongoing challenge of addressing demands from the Hirak movement, particularly among urban and educated youth, despite presidential elections not being scheduled until 2029.

On the international stage, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune is managing complex regional dynamics involving new leadership in Morocco and Tunisia. Additionally, Algeria has taken an active role in regional security, with the President confirming that the Algerian Air Force dispatched bombers to Niger in August to support the military junta following a coup attempt.
