But when her life is threatened, he must unlock the secrets of her dark past before it's too late. Click here for more on Shannon Greenland's Laura's Secrets Camus was right: only the sun has been kind to Algeria. Geography, demography and history have not. The thread of green with which desert yields to sea was originally named Ifriqqiya, whence comes Africa. (Below the Sahel was Niger.) Over the last two thousand years, its many cultures were side-by-side civilizations speaking in common the tongue of the marketplace but otherwise each their own. Among those cultures were the pre-Muslim Berbers (themselves of many tribes), Jews who condensed over the millennia like dewbeads on a thread, Arabs who arrived with the Quran and remained to trade. A handful of Christians remained from Roman times and many more coattailed the reconquista seeking a quick dirham . And finally the French, nominally Christian bourgeois but culturally Imperial Bourgeois. When the Algerians exploded after Dienbienphu showed colonies need not submit, the French left, but only after a ghastly fight. The political scirocco still blows and headlines in red tell of it.

Extractions: Algerians Living Abroad Algerian emigration to Europe began in the post- First World War era, when the depletion of French workers in the war and the industrial boom of the 1920's created a pressing need for unskilled migrant labourers. In the interwar period, more than one million Arabs and Berbers displaced by the formation of the great European-Algerian farming estates left for France, most on a temporary basis. After the Second World War , the French economic boom and the liberalization of Algerian immigration to metropolitan France opened up a stream of mass immigration, almost two million Algerian Muslims settling in France before Algerian independence in the 1960's. The 1960's saw the immigration of a half-million European Algerians afraid of life in independent Algeria, but at the same time Algerian entrance into the European Confederation allowed unrestrained Algerian immigration across Europe. Circa 2000, there are an estimated 9.1 million people of Algerian descent living across Europe; this figure can be compared to the 20.4 million residents of Algeria itself. Although the largest concentrations are in France, Germany, Spain, and the other countries of Mediterranean Europe, there are substantial Algerian immigrant communities in almost every Europeans city with more than a million inhabitants. Despite the convergence of Algerian living standards with those of mainland Europe and the declining Algerian birth rate, emigration from Algeria continues. France Total: 5.1 million of Algerian descent (4.3 million of Algerian Muslim descent) in 1996

Extractions: When we think of the Sahara, we usually picture tall mountains of shifting sand. These spectacular formations are called sand dunes and sometimes make massive sand seas, called ergs. However, the desert also contains regions of hard rock and clay steppes, gravel beds, and dry mountains. As we will see in this module, the Saharan climate influences not only what animals are found in the area but also which people live there and how they thrive in the tough environment. In addition to sand and rocks, however, the Sahara is also dotted with oases, small fertile pockets supplied with water from underground caches or mountain streams and aquifers that run into the desert. Oases often cultivate subsistence crops as well as dates and figs. They are also important water stops for desert travelers and herders. North Africa is bordered on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, and the climate of the coast is similar to that of the rest of the Mediterranean countries, including the coastal areas of Greece, Italy, Turkey, France, and Spain. In North Africa, this region provides rare fertile valleys for many crops, especially citrus and olives but also irrigation for everything from tomatoes to eggplants to lettuce, and this range is extended inland in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia due to the presence of the Atlas Mountains trapping the moist air.

The greatest north-south distance is 800 km and the greatest east-west is 320 km. Tunisia marks the most northerly point of the African continent with a Mediterranean coastline of 1,148 km and has frontiers to the west with Algeria and to the east with Libya. Situated in the sub-tropical Mediterranean zone, the Tunisian climate is typically hot and dry in summer from May to September, with relatively cold and rainy winters. Cooler air in autumn causes damper, stormy weather, while in winter north-westerly airstreams bring wind and rain. The official language is Arabic, but French is very widely used. In coastal tourist areas, other languages including English, German, Italian and Spanish are often spoken. The population is about 10 million. More details can be found at

Extractions: Gen. Info. Industry Steel Links Steel News ... Transnational Issues Algeria Introduction Top of Page Background: After a century of rule by France, Algeria became independent in 1962. The surprising first round success of the fundamentalist FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) party in December 1991 balloting caused the army to intervene, crack down on the FIS, and postpone the subsequent elections. The FIS response has resulted in a continuous low-grade civil conflict with the secular state apparatus, which nonetheless has allowed elections featuring pro-government and moderate religious-based parties. FIS's armed wing, the Islamic Salvation Army, disbanded itself in January 2000 and many armed militants surrendered under an amnesty program designed to promote national reconciliation. Nevertheless, residual fighting continues. Other concerns include large-scale unemployment and the need to diversify the petroleum-based economy.
