Ministry of Defense documentary exposes Amir DZ's role in inciting forest arson

The Ministry of National Defense has released a promotional clip for an upcoming documentary, « Unveiling the Plots of Treason... and the Threads of Collaboration », featuring confessions from detainees involved in sabotage acts within Algeria. The video accuses the fugitive Amir Boukhors, known as « Amir DZ », of exploiting individuals' socio-economic situations by promising them money and facilitated migration to France, including fake marriages, in exchange for carrying out criminal acts such as setting fire to forests and destroying national resources. These testimonies align with investigations into the wildfires that affected the country's eastern region. President Abdelmadjid Tebboune had previously confirmed that some of these fires were deliberately ignited using methods such as marine flares, candles, or the exploitation of mentally challenged individuals, promising further details to be disclosed as investigations continue.
