El-Djeich Magazine: Armed Forces' Historical Responsibility in Protecting Borders
The Army's High Command emphasized that victorious Algeria is taking giant strides toward comprehensive development and progress through massive strategic projects and is now firmly advancing on the path to advancement and prosperity. The editorial in the latest issue of El-Djeich magazine, titled 'Securing the Present for a Brighter Future,' asserted that 'victorious Algeria is today taking giant strides toward comprehensive development and progress through massive strategic projects that, until recently, seemed unattainable, even a fantasy to some slackers.' The magazine noted that these achievements confirm that 'Algeria is now firmly on the path to progress and prosperity, confidently moving toward securing its present and looking forward to a brighter future'. The magazine added that 'what has been achieved in various fields and in a relatively short time proves this, particularly in the areas of food, water and health security, and many other fields, according to the vision of a wise leadership that places Algeria's interests and sovereignty above all else.' The military's mouthpiece explained that 'all development projects approved by President Abdelmadjid Tebboune and implemented on the ground serve the citizen and meet their needs, based on the consecration of the social character of the Algerian state, derived from the literature of the victorious liberation revolution, particularly the November 1st Declaration.' In this context, the magazine noted 'the President's affirmation, in his last regular meeting with the national media, of his commitment to maintaining the same approach, ensuring further gains at various levels, particularly those that benefit youth, who represent the foundation and core of the nation'. In contrast, the editorial praised this important segment of society, imbued with a patriotic spirit and driven by a strong will to achieve all the set goals, as emphasized by the President of the Republic. Considering that security and development are two complementary elements, the magazine highlighted the pivotal role of the People's National Army as a fundamental guarantee for the continuation of this development process within a framework of security and stability. Noting that, 'in a regional environment witnessing increasing volatility and security challenges, our armed forces assume a historic responsibility to protect our vast borders, combat terrorism and organized crime in all its forms, and preserve the integrity of our national territory and the sovereignty of the state by working relentlessly to acquire deterrent military power'. In a different context, the editorial addressed the commemoration of the International Day for Mine Awareness, recalling the crime of mine-laying by French colonialism, which 'killed tens of thousands of Algerians who bravely held on to their ancestral land and defended it with unparalleled ferocity, sacrificing their lives to stop the inhuman crimes perpetrated by the hateful occupier in our country.' 'Because Algeria, a country of challenges, cannot face any obstacle without overcoming it with an unwavering will of steel, our country had to rid itself of this legacy, and this is what happened thanks to the efforts of the nation's sons, who did their utmost to achieve this goal,' the editorial concluded.

Zelensky: Russia must be forced into peace
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of showing a lack of interest in peace in light of another massive aerial attack. "Today, this Russian attack on our energy system and civilian facilities was as routine for Russia as ever, as mean and cynical as ever, as if there had been no attempts by Ukraine and the world to end this war," Zelensky said in his daily address on Friday evening. Ukraine, on the other hand, is interested in a swift peace. Zelensky emphasized, "And every day, new Russian strikes and reality itself prove that Russia must be forced into peace." During a session of the High Command, he said that the work of the Ukrainian air defence had been closely analysed. The Ukrainian Air Force reported earlier Friday that Russia employed 194 drones and 67 missiles of various types in a combined attack with just over half of the enemy objects shot down. Another third failed to reach their targets and caused no damage. According to Russian statements, the attack targeted Ukraine's gas infrastructure. The Ukrainian state-owned company Naftogaz reported damage to gas production facilities. Ukraine has been defending itself for a little over three years with Western aid against a Russian invasion. A suspension of US military aid ordered by US President Donald Trump threatens, among other things, the supply of Ukrainian air defence. Trump accused Zelensky of insufficient peace efforts.
