A MEA Risk assessment of the Algerian political stalemate warns that the crisis in the North African nation could reach its peak in the upcoming autumn season. MEA Risk even estimated that the anti-government protest movement will galvanize as of mid-September and will sustain through a series of factors that “constitute the perfect storm.”
MEA Risk, which gave Algeria the MEA Risk Instability rating of 1.68, making it Moderate Risk, Code Orange/Unstable, notes that “What is fueling the local protest movement now is a combination of lack of respect to authorities, no more fear of police and gendarmerie, as well as an understanding for the need of deep reform of government and a reformation of the entire political system… without any guarantee that the authorities will respond positively, hence worsening the standoff, which could go beyond December and into 2020.” The assessment could be access here courtesy of MEA Risk.
