“We are working calmly and patiently to dismantle the mines planted by these corrupters in the state’s various sectors and vital structures. These sectors will be cleared thanks to the concerted efforts of all the good people, and the Algerian people’s keenness to protect their homeland and the readiness of our sons and brothers in the army to preserve its borders,” he added.

He called on the Algerian people to preserve the peaceful nature of the popular movement and protect it from any attempts to sabotage it.
