La raffinerie d’Ouled Moussa, située à environ 30 km d’Alger, est entrée en production. Cette raffinerie ultramoderne est codétenue par le groupe français Cristal Union et le groupe alimentaire algérien LaBelle.
Sa construction a nécessité un investissement d’environ 150 millions d’euros de la part de la joint-venture créée entre LaBelle et Cristal Union, dont Cristal Union, au travers de sa filiale Cristal Raffinage est actionnaire à hauteur de 35 %.
La raffinerie produira du sucre industriel et du sucre de bouche de première qualité, en plus des sous-produits commercialisables. Dans un premier temps, l’usine produira 350 000 tonnes de sucre, soit 1 000 t par jour, puis environ 700 000 t en fonctionnement normal. La raffinerie permettra la création de 350 emplois directs et indirects dans la région.
L’arrivée de Cristal Union intervient dans un contexte de tension entre Cevital et le gouvernement. Le ministre du Commerce, Bakhti Belaïb, a annoncé la fin du monopole de Cevital sur la production de sucre en 2016, par l’entrée en service de trois nouvelles usine

Nearly 1.2 billion people live in fragile states, including one‐third of the world’s poor. Challenges emerging from fragile states, such as transnational threats, regional spillovers, local insecurity, and underdevelopment require the attention of multilateral institutions. While there is no agreed upon definition of a “fragile state,” limited institutional capacity and weak governance—particularly in combination with structural political and economic exclusion—are evident as main factors of fragility.
More recently, cities as urban systems susceptible to damage incurred by shocks to infrastructure, and ecological, social, economic, and political systems have emerged as a concept of fragility in the peace and security landscape. With unprecedentedly fast urbanization rates, cities are becoming the focal point of global poverty, conflict, and vulnerability to disasters—particularly when situated within a “fragile state.”
As policy-makers move beyond “fragile states” to “states of fragility,” important shortcomings persist in the United Nations and the multilateral system in addressing fragility and building resilience in states and cities. These gaps are conceptual and analytical; institutional; financial; engagement-related; and gender and youth-related. Despite its limitations, the concept of fragility has enhanced the linkage not just among international, national, and human security, but also among security, development, and governance needs, including issues of food, water, health, and environment.
