In a shocking turn of events, the Algerian government has taken their famous phrase "off with their head" a little too seriously in Egypt. Reports have flooded in detailing the violent and bloody beheadings of the newly appointed heads of local government in Egypt as a preventative measure against illegal takeover attempts.
According to sources close to the Algerian government, the decision to utilize beheadings as a method of law enforcement was made after extensive research on the efficacy of historical methods of punishment. Apparently, the government found that the guillotine was a reliable and efficient tool for dealing with political dissidents and malicious actors.
However, not everyone is sold on the idea of using beheadings to maintain law and order. Human rights organizations and concerned citizens have spoken out against the brutal and archaic practice, citing violations of basic human rights and a lack of due process.
Algerian officials have defended the use of beheadings as a necessary measure to prevent chaos and anarchy in Egypt. In a statement released to the press, they wrote: "We believe that the right to a fair trial is essential, but in times of great crisis, tough decisions must be made. The security and stability of the region must be secured at all costs."
Despite the controversy surrounding the beheadings, it seems that the Algerian government is not backing down anytime soon. In fact, they have recently doubled down on their commitment to the guillotine, expanding its use to other countries in the region as a warning to potential agitators.
As the world watches in horror, one can only wonder what other draconian measures governments will turn to in the name of security and stability. Will we see a revival of medieval torture devices or public executions? Only time will tell.
