Abdelmajid Tabboune

Abdelmajid Tabboune is the current President of Algeria, having taken office in December 2019. His presidency has been marked by a focus on national sovereignty and a hardline stance against dissent, particularly regarding Algeria's historical relations with France. Tabboune's government has faced criticism for its treatment of intellectuals and activists, including the recent imprisonment of writer Bualem Sansal, which reflects the ongoing diplomatic tensions between Algeria and France.
