Visit of the Lieutenant General CHANEGRIHA Saïd, Chief of Staff of People's National Army, to the 3rd Military Region in Bechar
Continuing the inspection visits to the various Military Regions, the Lieutenant General CHANEGRIHA Saïd, Chief of Staff of People's National Army, carries out from this Sunday 17th January 2021, a working and inspection visit in 3rd Military Region.
The visit began at the South Operational Sector of Tindouf, after the welcoming ceremony, the Lieutenant General chaired, along with the Major General Mustapha SMAILI, Commander of the 3rd Military Region, an orientation meeting attended by the executives and the staff of the Operational Sector, where he addressed a speech broadcasted by videoconference to all the staff of the sectors and units of the Region, during which he affirmed the concern of the High Command of People's National Army to pay primary attention to securing our national borders, following a homogeneous strategy and a global approach, fully and rigorously translated on the ground, in order to improve and promote the operational and combat performance of its devices and components, to be able to meet all challenges:
“Also, in concretization of the enlightened vision and the judicious orientations of the President of the Republic, Supreme Chief of the Armed Forces, Minister of National Defence, whom we wish to return to the country soon, in order to continue in company of all the faithful patriots, the journey of building a new Algeria. We have taken care, within People's National Army, to give a crucial importance to the security of all our national borders, following a homogeneous strategy and a global approach, fully and rigorously translated on the ground, especially with regard to the deleterious conditions that characterize our region, and this by continuously tightening the noose on the criminal hordes and eliminating them, in order to protect our country against dangers and threats and to preserve its territory and its people from all sources of multifaceted and multidimensional threats.
We are working through this sincere and dedicated action to continue building the capacity of People's National Army battle corps and providing the conditions for increasing its availability, so as to guarantee the improvement and the promotion of operational performance and of all its systems and components, in order to be able to meet all the challenges. I say all the challenges, whatever their nature, in the service of the supreme interest of Algeria and to support its faithful children attached to its unity, its sovereignty, its independence, its security and its stability, determined to put in failure of all hostile purposes, which in the recent past have met with dismal failure in attempting to employ the virus of terrorism and make it another abject and destructive means to achieve suspicious and tendentious objectives; attempts which will fail today and tomorrow in all their vile manoeuvres”.
Moreover, the Lieutenant General affirmed that the authentic patriotic approach adopted by People's National Army, with dedication and abnegation, in order to be the worthy heir to his ancestors and to remain the faithful guardian and devoted protector of this blessed land is in itself an immense honour for People's National Army:
“I confirm on this occasion that the authentic patriotic approach adopted by People's National Army, with dedication and abnegation, in order to be the worthy heir to its ancestors, and to remain the faithful guardian and devoted protector of this blessed land, which deserves that our Army preserves every parcel of its soil and that it deploys along its vast national borders. This judicious step is in itself an immense honour for People's National Army, worthy heir to the National Liberation Army, which still wishes, by fulfilling its national duty towards its people and its homeland, to remember the past of Algeria rich in exploits and to inspire the aspects of strong determination and firm resolution to pursue its sacred national duty”.
Subsequently, the Lieutenant General inspected some combat units deployed along the borders and provided a set of instructions and guidance to their commanders and personnel, aiming to redouble vigilance and awareness in order to counter all the scourges and dangers.
