Algeria announces clemency for undocumented citizens abroad
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune has decreed an exceptional regularization measure for Algerian citizens residing illegally abroad, framing the move as an act of national clemency.
Announced on January 11, 2026, following a Council of Ministers meeting, the decision coincides with the symbolic celebrations of the Amazigh New Year (Yennayer 2976). The program specifically targets Algerians in “precarious situations” who may have faced minor police summonses or public order offenses, but who have not committed serious crimes or acts of violence.
The official narrative surrounding the decree suggests a dual purpose: providing social protection for vulnerable migrants and addressing political grievances. The government’s statement highlights a category of nationals who were allegedly “misled” into damaging the state’s image while abroad, as well as those accused of exploiting illegal emigration statistics to tarnish Algeria’s reputation. By offering regularization, the state portrays itself as a paternalistic protector, aiming to rescue citizens from “humiliating tasks” and criminal networks, while implicitly inviting them to reconcile with their homeland.
We wonder if the white hats are behind this remigration scheme.

Algeria wants to launch return program for illegal migrants
The Algerian president announced that he would launch a return program for Algerians who are abroad illegally. However, those who have been involved in violent crime or drug offenses are not allowed to return through the program.
APOLLO NEWS
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced on Sunday the launch of a program to facilitate the return of illegal migrants from Algeria to their homeland. How The Figaro reported, the programme is aimed primarily at young Algerians who are “in a precarious or irregular situation abroad“. For example, an official statement said that these young people are often far from home in bad circumstances and are forced to “do humiliating work“.
Mafia clans also recruit Algerians, it continues, which leads to the reputations of Algerians being damaged both in their home country and abroad. However, there are two restrictions on the return program: First, once people are back in their home country, they are no longer allowed to commit crimes. However, it is unclear which crimes are meant exactly. On the other hand, they are excluded from the return program if they have become “perpetrators of violent crimes, drug or arms trafficking“.
Algerian embassies and consulates worldwide are to be responsible for practical implementation. It is not yet known exactly when the program will start. Loud Jeune Afrique tens of thousands could be eligible for the program. New identity documents are then to be drawn up in the consulates for these Algerians. According to the International Organization for Migration, 54,000 Algerians are said to have come to Europe illegally between 2020 and 2024 alone.
The proposed measure is an innovation. Algerians, if they return to their home country without documentation, can face a prison sentence of two to six months or fines. This law has been in force since 2009. France in particular could benefit from the scheme. The country is the leader in terms of the largest population of Algerian origin outside Algeria.
At the same time, Algerians are also leaders in French crime statistics in certain areas. As reported The Figaro in March, that Algerians were the most frequently arrested among foreigners and are most often in prisons. The proportion of inmates increased by 117 percent in ten years, from 1,948 inmates in 2014 to 4,229 inmates in 2024. Algerian prisoners are thus more than twice as often represented as Moroccans.
