PRESIDENT TEBBOUNE CHAIRS COUNCIL OF MINISTERS TO DIRECT MASSIVE RAILWAY EXPANSION LINKING NORTHERN PORTS TO TAMANRASSET AND BORDER REGIONS
ALGIERS — In a major infrastructure and economic development directive, President Abdelmadjid Tebboune officially chaired a high-level Council of Ministers meeting in Algiers to direct the immediate launch of the historic Laghouat-El Menia-In Salah-Tamanrasset trans-Saharan railway sections.
The executive session mandated strict operational timelines for state rail infrastructure agency ANESRIF, prioritizing heavy-haul freight capabilities to transport iron ore, phosphate, and processed industrial goods across the Saharan interior.
Addressing cabinet ministers and regional governors, President Tebboune emphasized that expanding trans-Saharan transport corridors serves as the foundational pillar for national economic diversification, regional security stabilization, and intra-African trade integration under the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).
The rail expansion directive comes alongside clear executive instructions strictly prohibiting the introduction of any new tax measures that could impact citizen purchasing power.
Federal finance authorities confirmed that rising state revenues from natural gas and non-hydrocarbon industrial exports will fully finance capital expenditure for the trans-Saharan rail sections without burdening domestic consumer markets.
