Algeria's East-West Motorway to have dramatic impact on economy
2006-11-08
The East-West Motorway, which will link Annaba to Tlemcen by 2009, should have a dramatic impact on Algeria's economy, the British Oxford Business Group said Tuesday (November 7th). The new road should stimulate the setting up of companies away from Algiers and extend economic activities in a more balanced manner. The Oxford Business Group quoted Olivier Durand, country director at the Transport and Packaging Company, a subsidiary of German company IPSEN, as saying "the new motorway will increase productivity, allow big savings in time and effort and will be a fantastic asset to the Algerian economy".
In Algeria, 85% of commercial exchanges are made by road. A total of 19 of Algeria's regions will be connected by this motorway.
The new project is part of the government's $60 billion national economic development programme for 2005-2009. (Le Jeune Independant, L'Expression, Oxford Business Group)

Morocco is striving to win the Western Sahara conflict at all cost even if detrimental to the international legality and the principles of the Grand Maghreb Union, that fragile alliance which every Moroccan seeks to modernize with new mechanisms that would mend the rift and achieve a healthy integration. In doing so, Morocco is submissive to western policies supporting it. But no matter how long it takes, this policy is doomed to failure when its recent supports turn against it. Has Morocco not learned the lessen from American terrorism. Regardless of our differences in core issues, we Arabs in general and Moroccans in particular, the essence of these issues must be going in the greater good of every one without exception!

We wish this Maghreb highway to be a link for the union of Maghreb people. Whatever our leaders, history will show who served its people, the Maghrebi people, and who used people for his own personal goals and the benefit of families. Algeria and Morocco can have relationships in many a field, starting with manpower, agricultural produces, oil products, electronics, etc.

I hope that this road will bring new hope to the economy and free trade activity in our wide Algeria while taking into consideration all the means leading to the shore of safety in terms of varied trade exchanges. This will be achieved thanks to the facilities ensured by the new east-west highway liking 19 regions (province). This expansion raises competition and initiative spirit with a high and conspicuous dynamism locally and in future in the Arab and world levels. I also want to suggest building a North-South to link our deep Sahara with our wide north. In this way, difficulties will fade away and there will be opportunities for the prosperity of traders in a better and comprehensive way as well as developing all economic activities.

The East-west motorway is one of the greatest Algerian projects which were done by the leader Abdelaziz Bouteflika, may God grant him long life. I work in this project for over a year. I wish success to everyone who contributed directly or indirectly to this huge project, from the head of the programme department to the simplest worker who worked with us. Thank you. May God assist us.

Salam. I am Mahmoudi from El Bouira. I used to work for foreigners in Mostaghanem and El Bouira. Now I am jobless. There is one problem in our country: Why have they brought Chinese people to Algeria while there are many like me who are jobless? if anyone knows something about working with foreigners, please help.

Peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you. I am proud of this huge project. I ask God to make it succeed, God willing. I have friends who work in a company working in the project. I was informed that the duration of contracts in this project will be in 2012. I see according to the information I receive from my friends that the project is progressing in its works. I heard that a few kilometers was inaugurated by the president of the republic Mr Abdelaziz Boutaflika. My question is why is the road not inaugurated at the end of the project so that it will be nice and good? I talk in this way because I always travel in my car and know everything about my country including the road; it is better walk on it. Thank you.

True, by God, it is a pride for Algeria thanks to the wise leadership. So die in your plots enemies of pride and dignity.

With the will of God, the sponsoring of his excellency the president of the republic Abdelaziz Bouteflika, the care and dedication of Mr Amar Ghoul the minister of public works, and all the honourable family who contributed to carrying out this huge project, I mention in particular the family which followed up the phases of its realization through its work to complete the part of Ghlizane, CITTC.CRCC-EJIS ROUTE- DPN which was honoured by Mr Amar Ghoul the minister on 06-06-2009 by his visit which will remain in our hearts when he came to inaugurate the part of El Mordja-Sidi Abed to the road of Sidi Khattab over 35 km. Many congratulations to the province of Ghlizane and Algeria in general.
