Hamid Lounaci, an advisor at the Algerian Presidency tasked with national and international organizations and NGOs, passed away on Thursday at the age of 71, as announced by the El Mouradia Palace.
Algerian President Abdelmadjid Tebboune offered his condolences to the deceased's family, recalling his political career and the positions he held, from parliamentarian and minister to advisor at the Presidency of the Republic.
Lounaci's passing comes just three days after the death of another advisor, the Director of the Presidency's Office, Boualem Boualem, who died last Monday in a Swiss hospital in Geneva after a terminal illness, as was announced, before his body was laid to rest on Wednesday in the Ain El Biada cemetery in Oran.
Lounaci was appointed advisor to the Presidency of the Republic in June 2021, after previously serving as a deputy and Minister of Transport.
