On July 13, 2026, Algerian authorities announced the arrest of six people in Tizi Ouzou, including four Moroccans in irregular status, suspected of belonging to the Movement for the Self-Determination of Kabylie (MAK). The Defense Ministry accuses them of trying to disrupt the legislative elections and discourage citizens from voting. The MAK, a Kabyle independence movement based in France, is classified as a terrorist organization by Algiers. The arrests come amid broken diplomatic relations between Algeria and Morocco since August 2021.
