Algeria at the top of North African countries
RANKING Sense of security
Algeria was ranked at the top of North African countries in terms of feeling of security, according to the latest report (Version 2025). This ranking is not a surprise, Algeria and thanks to the experience and know-how of the security forces (all bodies combined), remains one of the most secure countries not only in the African continent but in the world.
This index, which synthesizes confidence in the bodies of public order, and personal experiences with crime, ranks Algeria just behind world leaders like China, Norway and Switzerland, notes the same source, adding that this high score makes Algeria “one of the countries in North Africa with the highest proportion of its population declaring that they feel safe, with strong institutions and a low crime rate.”
In the same vein, the recently published report (2025 version) ranks Algeria among the best performing countries in North Africa in terms of security perception. With this position, Algeria “contributes to the status of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region as one of the areas with the highest sense of security in the world, exceeding 70%,” the report specifies. In addition, “an overwhelming majority of Algerian adults report feeling safe in their daily environment,” the report highlights. In 2024, “78% of adults in Algeria said they felt safe walking alone at night,” explains the document, specifying that this figure “places Algeria in second position in North Africa for this specific indicator, just behind Egypt (82%), but ahead of Libya (72%), Morocco (68%) and Tunisia (64%).” These results for Algeria, whose security score of 78% exceeds the global average of 73%, highlight that “even in a global context marked by persistent conflicts, the feeling of security at the local level can be high, reflecting community resilience and trust in institutions”. It is with pride and great satisfaction that the Algerian people received this information, placing our country at the top of North African countries in terms of feeling of security. Algeria could still do better and will be able to join other countries in the world such as Switzerland, Norway and China if, however, the political parties decide to combine business with pleasure by lending a hand to the security forces who are accomplishing their mission wonderfully. All that remains is for these political groups to propose concrete laws to parliamentarians, making it possible to put in place adequate measures relating to the fight against these scourges of violence of all forms from their origins. As such, specialists in the field find that prevention always remains the best means of combating any danger or dangerous calamity and not “All security”.
