  • Algeria is an Islamic nation in the northwestern region of Africa. Colonized by the French in the 1830’s, Algeria has a strong French influence combined with its Muslim culture. In the 1954 the Algerian War of Independence marked the overthrowing of French colonists by pro-Algeria supporters, led by the FLN (Front de Libération Nationale). The bloody war consisted of many terrorist attacks carried out by the FLN and questionable military practices by the French army. With the decolonization of Algeria, however, there was little political stability over the next 50 years. In 1991, the one-party system had ended, though the future election would be contested, leading to the Algerian Civil War, which continued until early 2002.

Major cities of Algeria are Algiers, Oran and Constantine. History
  • The People's Democratic Republic of Algeria is a state in northwest Africa. Even though most of Algeria speaks Arabic, is a member of the Arab League, and is a largely Muslim nation, it is frequently not considered Arab. This is Serious Business, so we'll say no more.

It was technically part of the Ottoman Empire, but often the ruler, the Dey, acted so autonomously that it might as well have been independent. Albert Camus was born here.

  • After more than a century of rule by France, Algerians fought through much of the 1950s to achieve independence in 1962.

Many Algerians in the subsequent generation were not satisfied, however, and moved to counter the FLN's centrality in Algerian politics. The surprising first round success of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in the December 1991 balloting spurred the Algerian army to intervene and postpone the second round of elections to prevent what the secular elite feared would be an extremist-led government from assuming power. The army began a crackdown on the FIS that spurred FIS supporters to begin attacking government targets. The government later allowed elections featuri

Along with decolonization and the Algerian War, the plight of urban youth is another common theme.
