Geopolitics of Algeria

Algeria is not just Africa’s largest country - it's one of its most misunderstood. Carved by the colonial blade, shaped by revolution, and hardened by geopolitics, Algeria sits at the crossroads of Africa, the Arab world, and Europe. But beneath the silence of the Sahara and the roar of oil pipelines lies a regional powerhouse with global stakes.

In this deep-dive, we explore how Algeria’s revolutionary history, strategic geography, and natural gas dominance have positioned it as one of the most important and overlooked players on the world stage. From its brutal war of independence and France’s nuclear tests in the desert, to today’s energy wars, Moroccan rivalry, and shifting alliances with Russia, China, and the U.S. - this is the real story behind one of Africa’s most defiant nations.

We cover:
Why Algeria banned U.S. and French military bases
How it outguns its neighbors with Africa’s biggest defense budget
The shocking truth about French colonial crimes - including nuclear fallout
The oil & gas leverage Algeria holds over Europe
Why Algeria refuses to normalize ties with Israel
And how this desert giant could shape Africa’s future geopolitical order
From Saharan sand to Mediterranean ports, from non-alignment to anti-imperialism - this is Algeria like you’ve never seen it.
