43Algeria is the core of the Maghreb and shares land borders with seven countries Maghreb
and Sahel countries. However, since 2011, none of the seven land borders is stable and secure. So, even if Algeria is considered as a stable country, this stability is fragile and is likely
to be more precarious if the country has to face simultaneously an economic crisis and delicate presidential succession. Domestic incertitude coupled to regional conflicts puts the
Algerian borders under unprecedented pressure. Consequently, almost all the governmental
declarations expressed worries about the vulnerability of the borders, and assurances about
the security services determination to assure the state security. However, to what extant this
promise can be entirely fulfilled, regarding the borders’ characteristics and the specificity of
the context? Why is the virtualization of the borders forced? As regards to the growing permeability of the borders, can their militarization guarantee their security?
