(Reuters) -Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune ended the tenure of Prime Minister Nadir Larbaoui on Thursday and appointed Industry Minister Sifi Ghrieb as acting head of the government, state media reported.
Larbaoui, a former diplomat, was appointed prime minister in 2023 by Tebboune. State media gave no reason for Larbaoui’s departure.
