Algiers - Al Maghrib Today

Algeria’s coast guard has intercepted almost 300 Algerians off the North African nation’s coast as they tried to reach Europe on several boats, the Defense Ministry said.
From Thursday to Saturday, the coast guard “intercepted and rescued a total of 286 Algerian citizens” attempting the perilous crossing on flimsy vessels, it said in a statement.
Media reports said 200 of the Algerians were stopped at sea off the western coastal city of Oran.
A 2009 law provides for up to six months in jail for those who attempt to leave the Algerian territory illegally. People smugglers can face up to 20 years in jail, according to the law. But the law has done little to deter would-be migrants.
According to press reports, the Italian coast guard stopped 165 Algerian migrants to the south of Sardinia in late September.
Apart from the migrant crisis, the country is also facing a growing threat from radical elements in the region.
On Wednesday, Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelkader Messahel said that North Africa is under threat from foreign fighters escaping Daesh’s defeats in Iraq and Syria.
Messahel spoke at a news conference in Cairo after a meeting with his Egyptian and Tunisian counterparts, Sameh Shoukry and Khemaies Jhinaoui, over Libya.
“The region is threatened... with the return of foreign fighters,” said Messahel. “The signs and reports say the return will be in our region.”
The ministers also met to discuss Libya in February in Tunisia and again in June in Algeria, as the three countries push for a solution in Libya.
The priority is “preserving Libya’s unity and stability and territorial integrity, and maintaining dialogue and Libyan political agreement as the sole basis for settling the Libyan crisis,” Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said in a statement.
Libya has been rocked by chaos since the 2011 fall and killing of former Muammar Qaddafi, with rival administrations and militias vying for power.
Militants, arms dealers and people traffickers have since taken advantage of the chaos to gain a foothold in the oil-rich North African country.
“What is happening in Libya threatens its security and stability and it has become a refuge for a number of terrorist groups,” Tunisia’s Jhinaoui said.
