the costs of raw materials, including coal, due to the war, further worsened the situation. These difficulties greatly deteriorated the financial situation of the companies, especially the Company of Western Algeria. Faced with increased expenses caused by the war and a decrease in profits, the company requested renegotiations of the financial clauses of its concessions. It declared its inability to continue operating its network beyond 31 December 1920. The Algerian authorities then decided to proceed with the repurchase of the company's network. This repurchase was formalized by the decree of 31 December 1920. The operation of the network was temporarily transferred to the PLM company on 1 July 1921, and then permanently in 1924.
