The El-Bina Movement has commended the effectiveness of the National People’s Army (ANP) in protecting borders, combating organized crime, and drug trafficking, expressing pride and esteem for the results of these operations. This was stated in a party press release issued this Friday.
The same source specified that the operation conducted on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, in the Ghnama region of Béchar province, under the 3rd Military Region, repelled a criminal infiltration attempt and sent a clear message to anyone threatening the integrity of national territory. According to the party communiqué, this operation highlights several points. First, the vigilance and professionalism of joint army, border guard, and customs units, which succeeded in “neutralizing the criminals despite harsh weather conditions.” In this regard, the El-Bina Movement noted that it illustrates the national forces’ ability to turn difficulties into opportunities for success.
Second, regarding the fight against drug trafficking, the party indicated that the operations reveal the scale of planned attacks by “foreign actors aiming to weaken Algeria’s social fabric and youth.” Seizures of weapons, field binoculars, and mobile phones used for criminal coordination were also made, the same source added.
According to the communiqué, these operations go beyond mere security measures and embody the ANP’s maximum preparedness to protect Algeria’s vital interests. In this context, the party declared that “national borders will never serve as a passage to threaten national or economic security.”
The El-Bina Movement finally called on all national forces and civil society actors to “rally around the state’s high leadership—Presidency, Army, and institutions—so that Algeria remains a bastion of the Republic and an impregnable bulwark against aggressors’ illusions.”
