Happy Halloween, Toussaint, and Algerian Independence Day! There were no real changes in Algeria, Libya, or Mauritania’s trajectories over the last month. Algeria is still betwixt and between (with some potential hydrocarbons movement), Libya is still at war, and Mauritania has successfully managed its political transition and hydrocarbons are chugging nicely along. Next month, however, will be different. Algeria prepares for presidential elections, Libya enters the eighth month of civil war, and Mauritania’s president marks 100 days in office.
