The Claim

During Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune's trip to an Eid prayer in Algiers, irregularly arranged lines were visible in the streets of Algiers.

Verified by Lenz ·

The Short Version

Official broadcast footage supports the claim: irregular road or lane markings were visible during President Tebboune’s trip to Eid prayer in Algiers. The documented instance is the April 2025 Eid al-Fitr trip, not the later 2026 Eid al-Adha trip. Reports that the markings were later redrawn add context but do not negate the underlying claim.

Caveats

  • The evidence points specifically to the April 2025 Eid al-Fitr trip; the claim is accurate but temporally unspecific.
  • Later 2026 Eid al-Adha footage appears normal, so the irregular markings should not be treated as a recurring feature across all Eid trips.
  • Several secondary reports rely on the same viral/official footage rather than fully independent on-the-ground verification.
