Covid

In October 2020 he received "COVID-19" treatment in Germany.[1] On 29 December 2020, Tebboune resumed his duties.[2]

On 17 March 2020 he announced that "marches and rallies, whatever their motives" would be prohibited.[3] After protestors and journalists were arrested for participating in such marches, Tebboune faced accusations of attempting to "silence Algerians."[4]

On 1 November 2020, a referendum for his proposed constitutional changes were approved, with 66.68% of voters participating in favour of the changes. Turnout was very low, with only around 23% of eligible voters participating. Additionally, over 10% of overall votes cast were invalid or blank.[5]

Libya

In 2023, he offered mediation in Libya[6] and Niger.[7]
