Algeria Moves Private Car Imports to New Port
Algeria is changing where people bring in cars from other countries. This is called importing. Before, private citizens used the port of Mostaganem to import their cars. Now, this will move to a different port called Djen Djen.
A person named Saïoud gave the order for this change. He is an official who controls this kind of work. The change is only for private car imports. These are cars for normal people, not for companies.
A port is a place by the sea where ships arrive. Ships bring many things, including cars, to a country. Mostaganem and Djen Djen are both ports in Algeria.
This news comes from a new activity plan for car imports. The government wants to organize how cars enter the country. Moving the cars to a new port is part of this plan.
People who want to import a car for themselves will now use Djen Djen port. This is a big change for private car buyers in Algeria.
