Security agents will withdraw from the Algerian stadiums, in order to allow the sport’s officials to impose security within the sports facilities, and fight against violence that affects the society, General Manager of National Security, Major General Abdelghani Hamel, said, on Friday, during a press conference at the General Directorate in Hidra, Algiers, following a meeting with National Security Officials.
“Security coverage exceeded 75% across all the national territory. After the protests in Ain Salah, Talenrasset (southern Algeria), over shale gas exploitation, security units were deployed to maintain order in the city, to avoid any damages.”
