"description": "Why each of the eleven wilayas Law 26-06 created (codes 59 to 69) carries the phone_code it carries. A value appears here only with an official citation naming where in the document it was read; a null carries a reason naming the official texts searched and what each one said. The codes wilayas 1 to 58 carry predate this ledger and are not restated by it.",

The three texts that create and organise these wilayas are silent on numbering. Algérie Télécom has announced no new area code for them. The code carried by the wilaya this one was split from is not evidence for it, and is deliberately not copied here.",
