Italy Turns to Algeria for Gas as West Asia War Hits Energy Supply | Firstpost Africa | N18G
Italy is scrambling to secure energy supplies as disruptions linked to conflict in West Asia strain Europe’s energy network. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited Algeria, where she held talks with President Abdelmadjid Tebboune to deepen cooperation in gas exploration and long-term supply. The push comes as reduced LNG flows from Qatar, which previously met about ten per cent of Italy’s demand, create supply gaps. While Algeria already provides a significant share of Italy’s gas, its capacity is limited, its infrastructure is stretched, and new projects will take years to materialise. A pricing dispute has also emerged, with Algeria seeking market rates while Rome offers investment incentives under its Mattei Plan. The development underscores a broader pattern: Europe is shifting energy dependence rather than eliminating it, with risks of instability persisting.

Just say, you want gas!?!? Double prrice!! Time to squeeze the Europeans. They have had fun for too long.
Would like a similar show as Vantage highlighting how Africa is affected by world affairs and local news. Thank you for the coverage.
Italy is the only country that has helped Algeria during the harsh years of the 90’s.

Why did you annex the Western Sahara to Morocco on the map in the background? It's not officially moroccan and still considered as illegally occupied country
by UN.
No better time for algeria to diversify it's economy than now , investing In the AI tech and supporting start ups would be a wise call

Algeria exploits the resources of the Tuareg people, acting as true colonizers.
Make Italy pay triple the price for your gas
