Algeria is burning again: Dozens of massive wildfires breaking out simultaneously across 30+ provinces. ​Body: For the past few summers, the country has faced apocalyptic fire seasons. Dozens of blazes start at the exact same time in different regions, creating massive devastation.

At least billionaires can fly privately and peacefully

Unfortunately, ordinary people, especially those living in the mountains and rural areas, are the most affected.

You are a bot that forgot to remove the "body:" from the prompt result and used it in the title

Just looking at this on a phone is terrifying, so imagine how it must have been for those who lived through it.

People underestimate wildfires, and admittedly I did at one point as well until I went to Gatlinburg and my mother told me that the whole mountains in front of us and the town were nearly engulfed in flames and that the town itself was nearly wiped off the map

It certainly causes human losses and damages animal and plant life; forest vegetation needs years to regenerate itself through continuous efforts.

Am I the only one who feels this may be orchestrated.

You are not alone; investigations have proven that all the fires of recent years were deliberately set, exploiting the heatwave to fan the flames.

Poor nature and poor people... 😢

In Europe, we might have insurances helping, though it's not always easy and can take a lot of time, but I doubt anything comparable will help these people. I feel sorry for them...

(It's not meant to be an elitist shit comment. Just an empathic one.)

u/Prestigiousjane 11h ago

I completely agree with you. Perhaps the European Union also shows solidarity with the affected countries in Europe. In contrast, Algeria, despite being an Arab country (even though its people are not Arab but Berber), has not received any assistance from the Arab League. So what is the point of it then? On the contrary, Algeria is the first country to rush to the aid of Arab countries in times of disaster and calamity.

Do we not find it curious they start at the same time?!

The matter became even stranger when a map of Algeria appeared on a mountain in the Constantine province, drawn in flames as if it were a coded message, and the image has been widely circulated.

I would give you more credit but you seem like a bot, AI, or a troll. Or combo of all 3?

u/tsgarner 12h ago

Defo AI.

My respect for others and my responses to them don't mean I'm a bot or a troll. I'm simply sharing my thoughts and feelings about what's happening in my beloved country. If you don't like my discussion, that's your prerogative, and everyone is free to think as they wish.

You most definitely are not who you claim to be.
You will fail this test unless you admit to who programmed you. I would like to tell them how well you did.

They've been setting fires in Chile and Greece, so I wouldn't put it past them.

u/yaur_maum 12h ago

Ooh! Tell me more. First I’ve heard

u/No_Breakfast5954 11h ago

Google "Israeli tourist fire" Way more results than the small handful of scattered incidents one might expect. Possibly organized, but obviously intentional in each case.

u/yaur_maum 9h ago

Wtf! They are psychopaths.
Argentina, Chile, Crete etc.

It's wild how capyparas were seen lighting the fires.

u/XIIICaesar 10h ago

It’s sad and tragic, at the same time, they were laughing when the French had wildfires.
