\u201cThe situation is becoming increasingly complex in regions of high geopolitical sensitivity, where internal conflicts are being exploited by external calculations seeking to invest in the structural weaknesses of state systems, along with the political divisions that accompany them.

In these arenas, considerations of power, resources, and strategic locations intersect within a conflict that appears silent on the surface, yet is profound in its stakes and multidimensional in its instruments.\u201d In a speech he delivered on Monday while presiding over the proceedings of the national symposium on \u201cThe Algerian Approach to Building Security and Peace in Africa,\u201d as reported by the official account of Algeria\u2019s Ministry of National Defense, the Chief of Staff explained that: \u201cThe situation is becoming increasingly complex in regions of high geopolitical sensitivity, where internal conflicts are being exploited by external calculations seeking to invest in the structural weaknesses of state systems, along with the political divisions that accompany them.
