| | Algerian War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The war uprooted more than 2 million Algerians, who were forced to relocate in French camps or to flee to Morocco, Tunisia, and into the Algerian hinterland, where many thousands died of starvation, disease, and exposure. | | | Before the referendum, Abbas lobbied for international support for the GPRA, which was quickly recognized by Morocco, Tunisia, and several other Arab countries, by a number of Asian and African states, and by the Soviet Union and other Central-European states. | | | The struggle was touched off by the FLN in 1954, only two years before France gave up its control over Tunisia and Morocco. |

| | Algerian Arabs speak an Algerian dialect of Arabic. | | | There are a growing number of Christian believers amongst the Algerian Arabs, though they are not as numerous as those from the Kabyle Berber neighbours. | | | Neighbour relations: Urban Arabs are more apt to identify with the Algerian nation, whereas the ethnic loyalties of the remote rural and nomadic Arabs are likely to be limited to the tribe. |

| | Algerian Extremists Killed 27..., by Kurt Holden |
| | Twenty-six Algerian journalists and one French reporter were killed in 1994 by Algerian terrorists in a campaign endorsed by the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), according to director Robert Menard of the Paris-based Reporters Without Frontiers organization. | | | The killings of journalists by Islamist terrorists has reinforced Algerian army efforts to prevent either the Algerian or international press from reporting or even witnessing warfare that involves death squad assassinations on both sides. | | | Independent French and Algerian journalists, however, estimate that some 30,000 persons, including more than 70 foreigners, have been killed since the civil war began in 1992. |

| | Algerian War Reading |
| | Camus, who "ached for Algeria," reasserted his solidarity with the Algerian people as a whole in the columns of L 'express, a newspaper with which he had become affiliated in order to be able to support Pierre Mendes-France, the only man, in his view, capable of solving the crisis while avoiding the worst outcome. | | | Many activist cadres in the PPA who were called upon to playa "his- toric" role in the subsequent conduct of the Algerian revolution came from important families, themselves affected by the general downward mobility at work in Algerian society. | | | But the tactical success, acquired with the cooperation of the Israelis, who had attacked to the east, was transformed into a political rout: the Americans and the Russians made the troops depart again on November 15, and the UN put the Algerian question on its agenda. |

| | But it was also clear that a majority of Algerians had adopted a wait-and-see attitude, hating the terrorists in secret but too frightened of them to make a clear stand against them in public. | | | Copy-catting their Algerian counterparts, the terrorists in Iraq have also assassinated many high profile officials and politicians. | | | Well, the man was the leader of the Islamic Armed Group (GIA), the deadliest of terrorist gangs that have shed Algerian blood, killing over 150,000 people, since 1992. |

| | Apology for the algerian insurrection |
| | It is useless to raise interrogation, as a governmental "inquiry commission" and moralist journalists did, to know if provocative activities of the gendarmerie could have provoked the riots; as if the existence of algerian State and its bloody repression is not a permanent provocation; and as of the population need special justifications to revolt. | | | The hostility toward political parties and "any proximity with power", the distrust with any uncontrolled representation, the refusal to be, once more, rank and file for political schemes; all that resulted in the spreading and coordination of villages and neighbourhood assemblies, rapidly recognized by everybody as the only authentic expression of the movement. | | | The intact resolution of the rioters, when they already had dozens of dead in their rank, gives a clear testimony of the hatred accumulated years after years in Algeria (and particularly in Kabylie) against the repressive state. |

| | The Algerian parliament is bicameral, consisting of a lower chamber, the National People's Assembly (APN), with 380 members and an upper chamber, the Council of Nation, with 144 members. | | | Algerian culture has been strongly influenced by Islam, the main religion. | | | This is due to two reasons: Morocco's claim to portions of eastern Algeria around Touat (which led to a brief war in 1963), and Algeria's support for the Polisario, a clandestine armed group seeking independence for the Moroccan-ruled Western Sahara, which it hosts within its borders in the city of Tindouf. |
