AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoFranco-Algerian judicial reset: France’s Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin has arrived in Algiers to restart judicial and security cooperation with Algeria, aiming to “open a new chapter” after months of strain tied in part to Western Sahara and other legal disputes. Talks with Justice Minister Lotfi Boudjemaa focus on extradition, organized crime probes, and security coordination—especially alleged networks linked to the Marseille-based “DZ Mafia.” Press-freedom pressure point: Darmanin’s agenda is expected to include detained French sports journalist Christophe Gleizes, sentenced in Algeria over “glorifying terrorism” after reporting in Kabylia; campaigners say he dropped his appeal earlier this month seeking a presidential pardon, and he reportedly received a diplomatic visit Monday. Travel-relevant Morocco context: Morocco has also begun nationwide inspection visits to improve boarding-school accommodation and catering, starting with Rabat-Salé-Kénitra.
