KathiAlgeria lifts 25 year long ban on hunting
https://africa.cgtn.com/2020/0...long-ban-on-hunting/Algeria lifts 25 year long ban on hunting
By BBC -September 15, 2020
The Algerian government has announced it is lifting the ban on hunting imposed more than 25 years ago because of an Islamist insurgency that was raging at the time, this is according to a report by the BBC.
The ban is said to have led to a surge in the population of boars, causing a big nuisance in rural areas where they damaged agricultural land.
Authorized hunting will now be able to take place for the next six months, Agriculture Minister Abdelhamid Hamdani was quoted by the Algerian press agency as saying.
In the early 1990s, the authorities decided to confiscate hunting guns and ban hunting after armed insurgents started to steal the weapons and use them in their attacks.
The ban on hunting other animals and birds has also been lifted.

Other than Barbary sheep (auodad) and boar, I wonder what might be available.

lavacaThink I'll pass. Not sure what there is to hunt in Algeria, but North Africa just doesn't seem like a good idea now. I considered a hunt in Chad a few years ago and was close to pulling the trigger until the outfitter, in an effort to put me over the edge, commented that at that time Chad had the highest concentration of troops in Africa, therefore it had to be safe.
My thought was they weren't there on holiday. Ended the discussion. Can't imagine Algeria is much different.
