Three spectators died and more than 70 others were injured after falling from the upper stand of the 5 July 1962 Stadium in Algiers, following MC Alger's win in the Algerian top-flight league for the second season in a row, the Algerian ministry of health said on Sunday. "The Beni Messous University Hospital received 38 injured people, while three deaths were recorded," the Algerian ministry of health said in a statement via Facebook, adding: "Ben Aknoun Hospital also received 27 injured people, while Bab El Oued Hospital received 16." Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune offered his condolences and wishing a speedy recovery for the injured. "It is with great sadness and sorrow and with hearts that we received the news of our supporter Younes Amguzzi, who passed away after falling from the upper stands," MC Alger said earlier in an Instagram post.

Local media reports said the spectators fell after a fence in the upper stand broke, with El Heddaf TV's Facebook page posting a video showing part of a railing collapsed onto the lower tier.

The President of the Republic, Mr. Abdelmadjid Tebboune, affirmed on Monday in Algiers the importance of continuing to enhance the competitiveness of national products and working to ensure self-sufficiency and promote exports, especially in the industrial sector, which has witnessed remarkable development in recent years. During his inauguration of the 56th edition of the Algiers International Fair, where he visited the pavilions of many national, public, and private institutions, the President of the Republic urged economic operators to 'raise the bar of ambition' in investment and continue working to increase competitiveness and improve the quality of national products. The President of the Republic praised the progress made by many sectors, especially mechanical industries, military industries, and textiles, emphasizing the need to work on strengthening export capabilities in parallel with contributing to reducing imports. The President of the Republic stopped over for a long time at the military industries pavilion, where he listened to detailed explanations about the activities of a number of institutions operating in the field of communications, military installations, and weapons manufacturing, especially the Directorate of Military Industries, the Mechanical Construction Company in Khenchela, and the Central Company for the Renewal of Signal Equipment. The President of the Republic also expressed his admiration for the level of achievements made by these institutions, especially in the field of optical fibers, the manufacturing and maintenance of signal equipment, and the manufacturing of explosives, and at the National Institute for Cartography and Remote Sensing affiliated with the Ministry of National Defense. Also at the Ministry of National Defense pavilion, the President of the Republic ordered the Minister of National Education to involve national institutions, including those affiliated with the National People's Army, in implementing the project of supplying educational institutions with electronic tablets. He also stressed the need for the contribution of both the institutions affiliated with the National People's Army and the National Electronic Industries Company 'ENIE', as well as private institutions, to the project supervised by the Ministry of Education, which is concerned with providing students with electronic tablets, calling for 'covering at least 50 to 60 percent' of the needs of educational institutions for computer equipment with local products. On this occasion, the President of the Republic highlighted the contribution of the military establishment to supporting the national economy with various products, which would reduce the import bill, especially for optical fibers.

The project involves the construction of an industrial complex for various types of bicycles in the wilaya of Bouira.

This participation reaffirms the distinguished fraternal and economic relations between Oman and Algeria, building on the foundations laid during the state visit of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik to Algeria last May, which established a new phase of comprehensive cooperation between the two nations. The Omani companies at the pavilion represent diverse sectors including pharmaceuticals, transportation, electrical conversions, real estate, fisheries, tourism, food products and handicrafts.

The Algiers International Fair provides an excellent platform to showcase Oman's commercial, investment and cultural assets. Faisal bin Abdullah al Rawas, Chairman of Oman Chamber of Commerce and Industry (OCCI), stated that this participation represents an important opportunity to strengthen Oman's external economic presence and reflects the depth of fraternal and economic relations between the two countries. He emphasised the growing role of Oman's private sector in international economic forums and its contribution to expanding trade and investment horizons between the two nations. In his remarks to ONA, he underlined the Chamber's commitment to active participation in international exhibitions to open new prospects for the private sector in building sustainable partnerships abroad while promoting Omani products. He pointed out that this participation will highlight the competitiveness of Omani products and enhance international investors' confidence in national capabilities and the growth potential of Omani institutions, while also providing opportunities to learn from successful experiences in the Algerian market. Meanwhile, Saif bin Nasser al Badai, Ambassador of Oman to Algeria, stated that Oman's participation as guest of honour aims to explore trade and investment exchange opportunities between the two countries, and examine potential partnerships and export possibilities to the Algerian market and regional markets.
