In a large-scale operation, members of the Gendarmerie detained 586 individuals with outstanding arrest warrants for activities described as undermining public security. The official announcement, however, provided no further specifics regarding the nature of these activities or the charges faced by the detainees.

The operation also led to the seizure of approximately 50 vehicles, according to the statement. Authorities reiterated their commitment to conducting similar operations across the country to ensure security and stability. Citizens were urged to cooperate by reporting suspicious individuals or movements.
The lack of detail in the announcement has raised questions about the nature of the alleged offenses. Observers note that it remains unclear whether the arrests are related to common criminal activities or politically motivated actions.
This development underscores the tense security climate in this North African country, where authorities are striving to maintain order while balancing concerns over potential human rights implications of such widespread detentions. Further information about the operation and the individuals detained is awaited.
