[Algeria] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Around March 28, 2025, dozens of Polisario Front police officers and their families demonstrated at Boujdour Refugee Camp in Algeria's Tindouf province, protesting six months of unpaid salaries. The protest was reported as peaceful with low severity.

Supply-chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the protest's location in a refugee camp and its focus on internal salary disputes within the Polisario Front administration, immediate supply-chain implications appear minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for escalation or spread of salary protests to other Polisario Front facilities or refugee camps in the Tindouf region
• Watch for any impact on cross-border movement or regional administrative functions if demonstrations expand beyond internal grievances
