Bloody Algeria hostage crisis ends after 'final' assault, officials say

On Saturday, Algerian troops ended a hostage crisis at a remote gas facility with "one last, bloody assault". At least 23 hostages and 32 "terrorists" were killed, but some 685 Algerian workers and 107 foreigners have been freed, reports say. There is no clear number of how many people are still unaccounted for after this final assault. Though the incident is over, the site is still dangerous. This event caught the world's attention because it affected citizens from many nations and went on for days. Many countries, including the U.S., are working with Algeria to prevent future such incidents.

This event took place in Algeria, Africa.

This article relates to the political and social PIES because it shows how revenge is used on large scale and real life and how much events such as taking hostages can have a huge impact on every nation.

This article really sheds light on how real and dangerous situations like this are. It also makes me all the more grateful for the safety this country provides for all the people living here. I think the government is already majorly involved because without government involvement, this situation would still be present today.
