That which is expected and routine rarely makes headlines in the New York Times . It was perhaps for this reason that the massacre of scores of Algerian demonstrators in late April and early May was not widely reported in the Western press. However, the demonstrators were not Islamists, but inhabitants of Kabylia, a strongly secular, predominantly Amazigh (Berber) region of Algeria. And the violent altercations were anything but routine. While the killing of 19-year-old Guermouh Massinissa on April 22 by the gendarmerie was hardly an unusual occurrence, the ten days of riots in which at least 60 Kabyle youths were killed, and the sheer magnitude of popular resistance to authority now taking place in the region are anything but commonplace in Algeria, or for that matter, in the Middle East.

Extractions: Algeria Algeria Figure 1. Administrative Divisions of Algeris, 1993 Insert: Detail of Wilayat, 1993 ALGERIA IN OCTOBER 1994 was in a state bordering on civil war. The military in late January 1994 had named General Lamine Zeroual, previously minister of defense, as president. He was to rule in coordination with the High Security Council (Haut Conseil de Sûreté) because the High Council of State (Haut Conseil d'ÉtatHCÉ), created two years previously, had been abolished. In April armed forces leaders removed Prime Minister Redha Malek from his post after an incumbency of only eight months, replacing him with Mokdad Sifi, an engineer technocrat who had served as minister of equipment. Efforts to achieve a workable compromise with the major Islamic activist group, the Islamic Salvation Front (Front Islamique du SalutFIS), appeared unsuccessful. Martial law, imposed in February 1992, continued. To understand the forces behind recent events, one must look at the factors that have shaped Algeria's history. The indigenous peoples of the region of North Africa that today constitutes Algeria comprise an ethnic group known as the Berbers. In the mid-1990s, the Berbers represented only about 20 percent of Algeria's population. In A.D. 642, following conquests by the Romans, the Vandals, and the Byzantines, the region came under the influence of Islam and the Arabs. Hence, the vast majority of the population, about 80 percent, are Arabs. Islam and arabization, therefore, have profoundly influenced the area.

http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-472.html

Extractions: Country Listing Algeria Table of Contents By the early 1980s, the Islamist movement provided a greater rallying point for opposition elements than did secular leftists. Although Islam was identified with the nationalist struggle against the French, the Algerian government had controlled its practice since independence through the Ministry of Religious Affairs and the Superior Islamic Council. The council maintained "official" mosques and paid the salaries of imams (religious leaders). Beginning in 1979, however, concurrent with the religious revolution that toppled the government of Iran, large numbers of young people began to congregate at mosques that operated beyond the control of the authorities. At prayer meetings, imams not paid by the government preached in favor of a more egalitarian society, against the arrogance of the rich, and for an end to corrupt practices in government, business, and religion. In a pattern of escalating violence during the early 1980s, religious extremists became increasingly active, assaulting women in Western-style dress, questioning the legitimacy of the "Marxist" Algerian government, and calling for an Islamic republic that would use the Quran as its constitution. After a brutal confrontation between Marxist and Islamist demonstrators at the University of Algiers in November 1982, the authorities rounded up and prosecuted for subversion students, imams, and intellectuals linked with the Algerian Islamic Movement headed by Mustapha Bouyali. Bouyali himself remained at large, forming a guerrilla band that was involved in a number of clashes with security forces. He was killed in early 1987, and his group was disbanded.

http://www.country-data.com/cgi-bin/query/r-380.html

Extractions: Country Listing Algeria Table of Contents At independence the Algerian health care system was skeletal, consisting of one physician per 33,000 people (or an estimated 300 doctors in all) and one trained paramedic per 40,000. The approach at the time was primarily curative rather than preventive. Since then the country has made tremendous progress in health care. From 1975 onward, a new system of almost free national health care was introduced. Hospitalization, medicines, and outpatient care were free to all. In 1984 the government formally adopted a plan to transform the health sector from a curative system to a preventive one more suited to the needs of a young population. Rather than investing in expensive hospitals, the government emphasized health centers and clinics, together with immunization programs. The results were impressive: whereas the infant mortality rate was 154 per 1,000 live births in 1965, it had fallen to sixty-seven per 1,000 live births by 1990. By 1991 Algeria had about 23,000 physicians, or one for every 1,200 inhabitants, and one nurse per 330 people. About 90 percent of the population had access to medical care, and only in remote rural areas did people have difficulty reaching health care services. Algeria also had 2,720 basic health units, 1,650 health centers, thirteen university hospitals, 178 general hospitals, and eighteen specialized hospitals. Overall, there was one hospital bed for every 380 people. The average occupancy rate of hospitals was 55 percent, while the average length of stay was six days.

Extractions: Web posted at: 3:56 p.m. EDT (1956 GMT) ALGIERS, Algeria (CNN) Scores and perhaps hundreds of Algerian villagers were slaughtered overnight by attackers believed to be Islamic fundamentalist terrorists. The attacks, in which men, women and children had their throats slit and were sometimes decapitated and burned, is the worst in five years of ongoing violence in Algeria. The government, which seldom comments on such attacks and often minimizes the death toll, said 98 were killed and 120 were wounded. But hospital workers and witnesses said at least 200 people, and perhaps as many as 400, had died. "The victims, in the majority, are women and children, including tiny babies," the government said in a rare statement. "Those killed were mostly slain by knives, some by bullets and others burnt in fires in their homes. "In the face of this outbreak of attacks against isolated populations, measures have just been decided to reinforce the protection of inhabited sites in the countryside," the government said its statement, which was read on state radio.

Extractions: Why Death of a Nation's Conscience Has Met With Cold Indifference By Elie Chalala "I know that they pursue me and will kill me. It is a matter of time; I will be killed in a month or two or less... but I prefer to die for my ideas than on a bed of illness or aging." So said Lounes Matoub, the Algerian singer and poet, only days before his assassination. Lounes' name can be added to a long list of Algerian intellectuals and artists, 70 of them journalists, killed in a "swords against the pens" campaign. Civil wars in the Middle East claim lives. That is nothing new: more than 150,000 died in the Lebanese Civil War. Nor is it unusual for major political figures, like Algeria's President Mohammad Boudiaf, assassinated in 1992, to fall victim to violence. What has struck many observers in the recent Algerian scenario is that unlike other regional civil wars, from Lebanon to today's Sudan, one finds unprecedented targeting of intellectuals and journalists. What then accounts for this apparent ambivalence toward the plight of Algerian intellectuals and journalists? Studies, press reports, and published interviews with those concerned point to four factors: historical precedents for targeting intellectuals; linguistic duality that has diminished readership and precluded the emergence of broad-based literature; pseudo-religious justification that does not discriminate between those who wield gun and pen; and a lack of government commitment to protecting the intellectual and journalistic community.

Extractions: ALGERIA The internal security situation in Algeria has improved since 1994, but the incidence of domestic terrorism, which is among the world's worst, remained high. At least 60,000 Algerians-Islamic militants, civilians and security personnel have been killed since the insurgency of 1992 Government security forces made substantial progress against the Islamic Salvation Army (AIS)-the reported military wing of the Islamic Salvation Front-that primarily attacks government related targets. The government was less successful against the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), the most radical of the insurgent groups, which continued terrorist operations against a broad spectrum of Algerian civilian targets in 1996, including women, children and journalists. The GIA continued to target foreigners in 1996 and killed at least nine, a sharp decline from the 31 foreigners the group killed in 1995. The total number of foreigners killed by the GIA since 1992 exceeds 110. Most were "soft" targets, including a former Bulgarian attachŽ, who was found beheaded in a forest in mid-November. Although no claims were made for his murder, Algiers blamed the GIA for his death. In August the GIA claimed responsibility for the murder of the French Bishop of Oran, who was killed by a bomb placed outside his residence. Earlier in 1996 the GIA kidnapped and later beheaded seven French monks from their monastery near Medea. The GIA issued a communique claiming that the monks had been killed because Paris had refused to negotiate with the insurgent group. Algerian extremists are suspected in an explosion in a Paris subway on 3 December that killed four and wounded more than 80. The bomb used in that attack was similar to those used by the GIA in its bombing campaign in France in 1995.

Extractions: Seized by political turmoil for the last eight years, Algeria stands today as the most violent country in the Middle East and North Africa (HRW 2000). Over the last decade, hundreds of thousands of Algerians have been forced to flee armed attacks, massacres and large-scale human rights abuses. The precise number of Algerians displaced by the political violence is impossible to assess given the "information void" that has pervaded the conflict in Algeria since its onset. This said, some estimates have been published. U.S. Committee for Refugees noted in its World Refugee Survey 2000 that hundreds of thousands of Algerians were thought to have fled to Europe by the end of 1999; another 100,000 to 200,000 were believed to be displaced within the country (USCR 2000, p. 62).

Extractions: Algeria Situated on the north coast of Africa, Algeria is the second largest country of the continent. It covers more than 900,000 square miles (2,300,000 square kilometers), about four fifths of which is in the Sahara Desert. The country's Mediterranean coastline extends about 620 miles (1,000 kilometers). Algeria is bordered by Tunisia, Libya, Niger, Mali, Mauritania, Western Sahara, and Morocco. Eighty percent of Algeria's inhabitants live in the agricultural lands and cities of the north, called the Tell. An independent republic since it won freedom from France in 1962, Algeria has links to Europe across the Mediterranean Sea and to southern Africa via the Sahara. History, language, and the Muslim religion make the country a part of the Arab world. Northern Algeria is divided into five distinctive physical regions. Three are in the far north: the arable coastal strip, the plains just to the south, and the Tell Atlas Mountains running east and west along the plains. Farther south, the High Plateaus form another east-west barrier. The fifth region is the Saharan Atlas Mountains, which extend into the desert. The region of the Tell Atlas Mountains is geologically young and unstable, and earthquakes are common. It has a Mediterranean climate, with warm, wet winters and hot, dry summers. Rainfall averages 28 inches (71 centimeters); mean temperatures range from 50° F (10° C) in January to 80° F (27° C) in July. Hot, dry winds from the Sahara intensify summer drought, which may severely damage crops.

http://cfrterrorism.org/groups/gia_print.html

Extractions: The GIA has not targeted Americans in Algeria. But some Algerian terrorists who have tried to attack the United States may be linked to the GIA. In December 1999, Ahmed Ressam, an Algerian living in Montreal, was arrested at the U.S.-Canadian border with a carload of explosives; he was later convicted of plotting a millennium-eve attack on Los Angeles International Airport. Ressam has since led authorities to alleged co-conspirators in Canada and the United States. Who are the members of the GIA? Experts say the GIA recruits young Algerian men suffering from economic despair and political alienation. In Algeria, 70 percent of the population is under 30 years of age, and per capita income has dropped 50 percent from its peak in 1986. Unemployment, which hovers around 30 percent for the general population, spikes to 75 percent among men aged 16 to 24. Who is the leader of the GIA?
