Algiers, Algeria | August 13th, 2024 — During its summer university event held in Tizi-Ouzou on Tuesday, the association “Iqraa” issued a compelling call for a “high level of participation” in the forthcoming presidential election scheduled for September 7.
A Call to Action from Hocine Khelid
Hocine Khelid, the president of Iqraa, underscored the association’s dedication to representing the aspirations of every Algerian. “Our association aligns with the hopes of every Algerian for their country and urges all citizens, particularly the youth, to participate in large numbers in the presidential election on September 7 to reinforce the country’s stability,” Khelid asserted.
Commitment to Sovereignty and Stability Amid Regional Tensions
Khelid emphasized the significance of a strong voter turnout as a demonstration of Algerians’ commitment to their nation’s sovereignty and stability amidst a challenging international and regional climate. “Given the unfavorable international and regional context, a robust participation in the presidential election is a message of commitment and attachment to the sovereignty and stability of our country,” he stated.
The summer university of Iqraa, which includes representatives from four wilayas—Adrar, Timimoun, Aïn Defla, and Algiers—focused on managing regional offices and transitioning the association towards digitalization. This shift, Khelid explained, requires an expansion of literacy initiatives to encompass all societal groups, including those who are educated but may not be adept with new technologies.
Established in 1990, Iqraa has made significant contributions to literacy, reaching over two million individuals to date. Khelid highlighted the organization’s continued commitment to education and the importance of evolving its methods to meet the demands of the digital age.
