Algeria plans to grant residency rights and job permits to illegal African migrants amid a shortage of workers in farming and construction and after a surge in racist sentiment across the country.
Prime Minister Abdelmadjid Tebboune's plan follows the launch of an anonymous online campaign that blames African migrants for taking jobs and spreading the HIV virus that causes AIDS.
To determine the number of beneficiaries of the scheme, the interior ministry is organising a census while security services will screen potential residency candidates. "They will get a residency document which will allow them to get a job," Tebboune told politicians on Friday night. He gave no further details on the scheme.
