The Algerian Council of Ministers, chaired by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune, approved a draft law on general mobilization during its Sunday session. The presidential office stated that the cabinet reviewed several strategic legislative proposals, with the mobilization bill being the most prominent.

Key Provisions of the Law:

1. Constitutional Basis

   • Implements Article 99 of the Algerian Constitution, which grants the president authority to declare general mobilization after consulting the High Security Council, the Council of Nations, and the People’s National Assembly.

2. Legal Framework Update

   • Modernizes existing laws to allow the state to mobilize human and material resources during major emergencies, including wars or large-scale security threats.

   • Establishes mechanisms for reservist conscription, economic resource allocation, and institutional readiness for extreme national security scenarios.

3. Regional Security Context

   • The approval comes amid deteriorating security conditions in the Sahel region, prompting Algeria to strengthen its emergency response capabilities.
