Yogyakarta (10/6) – The Visiting Professor of the International Program of Government Affairs and Administration Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta, Dr. Abderrahmane Benlahcanene from Universiti Utara Malaysia carried out a class that discussed Issues, Problems, and Features of the Algerian Public Service. Algeria, formally the People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a North African country. Algeria is bordered by Tunisia to the northeast, Libya to the east, Niger to the southeast, Mali, Mauritania, and Western Sahara to the southwest, Morocco to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the north. It is regarded to be a part of North Africa’s Maghreb area. It has a semi-arid climate, with the majority of the population living in the fertile north and the Sahara dominating the southern topography. Algeria has a land area of 2,381,741 square kilometers (919,595 square miles), making it the world’s tenth-largest country by area and the largest in Africa. Algeria is the ninth-most populous country in Africa and the 32nd-most populous country in the world, with a population of 44 million people. Algiers, the capital and largest city, is located on the Mediterranean coast in the far north.
In the class, Mr. Abderrahmane explained that countries located on the Asian continent are better than their home countries, namely Algeria. He explained that the country faced many problems such as racism, disobedience, corruption collusion, and nepotism (KKN). Furthermore, he explained further that the public sector experienced many problems such as lack of accountability, lack of e-government, and lack of recruitment. (ARP
