Algerian Police Followed Me into the Desert

  • Cycling the world - Europe: 155 episode
    In the fifth episode of my round-the-world bike tour in Algeria, I wake up at my wild camping spot with a wet tent due to overnight rain and colder-than-expected temperatures. As I hit the road, I’m invited by locals for lunch, experiencing incredible hospitality. After one more climb, I reach the start of the desert and am in awe of the stunning landscape. Finding a camping spot takes a bit longer, but the full moon and dry, warmish night make it worthwhile. The next day, after another lunch invitation, I’m stopped by the police and questioned for over an hour, resulting in an unexpected police escort. Instead of camping in the mountains of Bou Saada, I end up staying in a high-end hotel due to fully booked cheaper options on a busy Thursday night.

    Ciao Davide, I wonder if the police was only there to ensure your safety?
    In some regions, I have heard about that.
    Such a great video again!

      Hey Frank! They told me it was for my own safety. That's what they always tell you in these situations. Who knows what's the real reason is, most likely they dont want any problem in their territories which is understandable from one side but surely you're not really free if the police tails you around and prevent anyone to approach you as well as restricts your itinerary etc. There is a definition for that kind of safety: police state.

    • @DavideTravelli
      @DavideTravelli  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +16

      @alboud it’s a diplomatic issue ONLY when the police, army, or intelligence agencies are responsible for harm, as seen in the tragic case of Giulio Regeni in Egypt. Thousands of tourists die every year worldwide, yet this hasn’t led to widespread implementation of police states. For example, many people drown at beaches, die climbing mountains, skiing, hiking, or engaging in other adventurous activities. However, most countries have not resorted to constant surveillance or heavy-handed policing as a solution. The approach of a police state, where tourists are followed and their movements restricted, undermines the essence of freedom and exploration that travel should embody.
      Ultimately there is no safety if personal freedoms are compromised.

    @cocothefly 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +11

    If you have followed other adventurers trips around Algeria, you would know that starting from Ghardaïa or around the beginning of the Sahara and down south, police escort is mandatory due to security issues in all the neighboring countries.
    Also, some foreigners managed to not be followed by being smart, avoiding usual roads, keeping a low profile and a bit of luck.

    • @DavideTravelli
      @DavideTravelli  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I didnt really look into others adventures, I tried to find some other bike travellers accounts but nobody ventured south. I was aware that the south is a special area because you need to require basically a different visa but none of the official information specify (Algerian government web sites) where the south starts. I thought Bou Saada was not that south.

    • @cocothefly
      @cocothefly 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      @@DavideTravelli Indeed, Bou Saada isn't that south, we call it the gates of the Sahara and yes you were a bit unlucky, usually things start to get complicated around Ghardaïa.

    • @DavideTravelli
      @DavideTravelli  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

      @cocothefly Yes I thought it was just a bit of bad luck or someone at the village called the gendarmerie. I would have liked to go a bit more south than Bou Saada but having the police tailing me was not really appealing and my visa was very short, realistically I could have gone south only one more day or two.

    The Algerian gendarmerie dedicates substantial resources to keep foreigners safe. Any incident, like getting lost or attacked, could lead to a diplomatic issue with your country and negatively impact tourism and foreign investments. You’re not alone in this; many others, including employees of multinational companies, also receive escorts in the desert. We understand it’s annoying for someone who wants to wander in the sahara, but it’s the price you pay for your safety.

      That's the official explanation, however given that there are hundreds of comments in my Algerian videos claiming I'm a spy perhaps they wanted to keep an eye on me. Second they didnt allow anyone to stop and talk to me, when anyone tried they sent them away. Third I wasnt free do go where I wanted to but they took me to the hotel and asked the hotel personnel to inform then whenever I was leaving the hotel. If I'm not able to travel freely in a country for me there is no point going there.

    What I've seen from others going thru Egypt was far worse than this. Had the Algerian police not have kept people from talking to you it would have been a minor annoyance, but their interference makes your journey far less interesting and personal, and that is just these paranoid governments worried about their image. In Egypt they often force you to ride in a truck or take a train to your next destination, far worse there anyway. Love your exploring these rugged locations. always fascinating, thanks as always Davide.

    • @DavideTravelli
      @DavideTravelli  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yeah the gendarmerie in Algeria was very professional the only issue I have with them is that they didnt allow me to wander off and camp but also that they prevented people approaching me. If had the police tailing me al my entire journey I would never been able to talk to people, accept invitation for meals, riding on dirt roads and trails and most importantly camping. I understand it's done to reduce the risk of anything happening to me but it's not a nice way to travel, I am a careful traveller I minimize risks much more than most bike travellers I know.
      I knew before entering the country that police tailing was a possibility in that case I would have left the country immediately the first week.
      Yes the police in Egypt is bunch of very unprofessional babies, most of them are real idiots: they gave me back the passport in four pieces once. If you stand your grounds you can cycle the whole way. I got even cycle on the Aswan Dam which is usually forbidden.

    The police offered to accompany you to show you the way. Otherwise it's normal to be stopped, the police do their job like all police officers around the world. Police officers monitor the roads to prevent Moroccan and sub-Saharan African drug traffickers from passing through Algeria. The Algerian authorities are doing an exceptional job to prevent their country from being invaded by drug traffickers, smugglers and migrants from neighboring countries. Without the Algerian police, Europe would be no longer under attack by migrants from sub-Saharan Africa. They do their job, and everything is fine if you follow the laws. It's the same as our police officers in Europe. In Italy or France, we have to comply with police identity checks, so in Algeria it's the same thing.

    È divertente, ti ritrovi in ​​un albergo perché la polizia pensava di farti un favore. Volevano aiutarti scortandoti. Avresti dovuto spiegare loro che preferisci campeggiare. Con la barriera linguistica non è facile farsi capire, ma non con cattive intenzioni. Pensavano di fare la cosa giusta. La polizia sta facendo il suo lavoro. Ci sono paesi a cui non importa, la polizia lascerebbe morire le persone. Trovo che gli agenti di polizia algerini siano davvero utili. A loro piace aiutare. Per il resto fanno il loro lavoro come tutti i poliziotti del mondo. Soprattutto in Algeria la polizia svolge un lavoro difficile perché controlla le strade per impedire il passaggio di narcotrafficanti, contrabbandieri e migranti attraverso l'Algeria. L'Algeria è la prima linea di difesa dell'Europa, perché questo paese sta facendo un grande sforzo per combattere le reti dei migranti e della droga. L’Algeria si rifiuta di permettere che questo paese venga invaso da questi criminali. E senza l’Algeria credo che in Europa avremmo 5 volte più migranti.
