November 13, 2023 04:18 am | Updated 04:18 am IST - AlgiersAlgerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune on Saturday, November 11, 2023, dismissed the country's prime minister and replaced him with the head of his Cabinet as the country struggles with inflation and next year's national elections approach. Benabderahmne's sacking comes three years into Tebboune's tenure and is the latest upheaval to shape North African politics. In August, Tunisia's president dismissed his prime minister, while the head of Algeria's powerful state-run oil company and eight of his vice presidents were dismissed several weeks ago. For Tebboune, the changing of the guard takes place at a time of economic anxiety and ahead of next year's presidential elections. Larbaoui, the incoming prime minister, rose from being an athlete on Algeria's national handball team to a member of the country's diplomatic corps, having served as Algeria's ambassador to Egypt and the United Nations.

In August, Tunisia’s president dismissed his prime minister, while the head of Algeria’s powerful state-run oil company and eight of his vice presidents were dismissed several weeks ago. For Tebboune, the changing of the guard takes place at a time of economic anxiety and ahead of next year’s presidential elections. AdvertisementThat’s the environment in which Tebboune is touring the country ahead of the election, his first since Algeria’s popular Hirak movement led the push to remove longtime President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in 2019. Larbaoui, the incoming prime minister, rose from being an athlete on Algeria’s national handball team to a member of the country’s diplomatic corps, having served as Algeria’s ambassador to Egypt and the United Nations.

As Algerians continue to suffer in long queues for basic goods, the military regime in Algeria has allocated its defense department a bloated budget of 21.6 billion dollars in 2024, up from 19 billion this year. The army thus widens the gap with other departments as the largest spending sector, mirroring its position as a kingmaker in a country with a civilian presidential façade. The West has deterred Algeria from sealing large scale armament deals with Russia casting a shadow of doubt on last year’s spending. With the largest defense budget in Africa, Algeria took half of Russian arms sales on the continent. Keeping up with Morocco is now a thing of the past as the North African Kingdom widened the armament quality gap with Algeria, including through sealing alliances, mainly with the US.

Against this backdrop, there is growing concern that the carbon market has failed Africa and other developing countries in the global South. Governments and companies created carbon market systems to address their greenhouse emissions – a trading system in which carbon credits are sold and bought. ACMI seeks to capture more of Africa’s potential in carbon markets by addressing the challenges to voluntary carbon market growth and building the foundations for a thriving voluntary carbon market ecosystem in Africa by 2030. This week, JSE Ventures launched South Africa’s first carbon market at the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. The carbon market allows big polluters to keep doing so with no overall reduction in their emissions.
