The new government includes twenty-seven ministers, including five women.
Noureddine Bedoui remains prime minister in Algiers. But the main information unveiled this Sunday, March 31, 2019, is the departure of Ramtane Lamamra, replaced by Sabri Boukadoum as foreign minister. A replacement that comes as the now ex-minister is in Tunis, for the meeting of the Arab League.

General Ahmed Gaïd Salah remains his Deputy Minister of Defense and Chief of Staff.
In total, six ministers retain their posts, such as Veterans Affairs and Imane-Houda Feraoun, the Minister of Telecommunications.
Among the new, some are actually from the world of business, including that of Culture, who is the director of a publishing house in Constantine.
There was no government since March 11 and the announcement of President Bouteflika, who renounced a fifth term. The head of state then instructed Noureddine Bedoui and Ramtane Lamamra to appoint a new government of technocrats, with young people and women. The promise is only half kept.
