     Extractions: Reference Desk Sponsored Links TripAdvisor Encyclopedia Algeria The earliest recorded inhabitants of Algeria were Berber-speaking peoples who by the 2d millennium B.C. were living in small village-based political units. In the 9th cent. B.C. Carthage was founded in modern-day Tunisia, and Carthaginians eventually established trading posts at Annaba, Skikda, and Algiers. Coastal Algeria was known as Numidia and was usually divided into two kingdoms, both of which were strongly influenced by Carthage. The kingdoms of Numidia were united by King Masinissa B.C. In 146 B.C. , Rome destroyed Carthage, and by 106 B.C. , after defeating King Jugurtha of Numidia, it held coastal Algeria. The Romans also gained control of the Tell Atlas region and part of the Plateau of the Chotts; the rest of present-day Algeria remained under Berber rulers and was outside Roman rule. Under Rome, the cities were built up and impressive public works (including roads and aqueducts) were constructed. Much grain was shipped from Algeria to Rome. By the Christian era, Algeria (divided into Numidia and Mauritania Caesariensis) was an integral, albeit relatively unimportant, part of the Roman Empire. One of its most famous citizens was St. Augustine Donatism (which was in part a Berber protest against Roman rule).

The killings bring to 26 the number of civilians killed in two days, the official APS news agency reported on Saturday. APS, quoting a terse security statement, said the victims were "cowardly assassinated by a group of terrorists" on Friday night on a road near the village of Sidi Lakhdar in Ain Defla province. It gave no further details. "Terrorist" is the word used by the official media and government officials to refer to Muslim fundamentalists who have been waging a bloody insurgency for the past nine years. On Thursday night, another group of "terrorists" killed at least 10 people in Medea province, just south of Algiers. More than 100,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed in Algeria since 1992. The violence broke out after the military-backed authorities cancelled a general election a now banned Muslim fundamentalist party was poised to win.

Time.com People Fortune EW ALGIERS, Algeria A mass grave containing the bodies of about 300 Algerian fighters has been found at the site of a former French army headquarters. The skeletons, many showing signs of torture, have been dated to the 1954-62 Algerian independence war against France, the Algerian War Veterans Ministry said. The grave was discovered last month during water canal-building works in Tebessa province, about 630 km (390 miles) east of Algiers. "The skeletons bore marks of torture and mutilation," a ministry spokeswoman told Reuters news agency. She added that they had been fighters of the National Liberation Front (FLN). The mass grave was the biggest of FLN fighters found in the past decade, the pro-government newspaper El Moudjahid said. Tebessa, which borders Tunisia, was the scene of bloody battles between independence fighters and the French army during the war.

     Extractions: The present borders of Algeria (as well as those of Tunisia and Libya) were determined when the region became part of the Ottoman Empire and each of the three countries became an administrative subdivision ( vilayat ). The coming of the Ottomans led to the Spanish losing the coastal strip that they previously had held for several centuries. It subsequently became a pirate base for attacking European fleets. The French launched a military attack in 1830, occupying part of the littoral, which became the embryo for their subsequent North African colonial empire. Exactly how far this process had gone became apparent in June 1990, when multi-party municipal and local elections were held for the first time. Although the FLN secured a majority, Islamic parties made a strong showing, especially in the urban ghettos of Algiers and other cities. The most prominent of the new parties was the Front Islamique du Salut

     Extractions: Since the 5th century B.C., the indigenous tribes of northern Africa (identified by the Romans as "Berbers") have been pushed back from the coast by successive waves of Phoenician, Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, Arab, Turkish, and, finally, French invaders. The greatest cultural impact came from the Arab invasions of the 8th and 11th centuries A.D., which brought Islam and the Arabic language. The effects of the most recent (French) occupationFrench language and European-inspired socialismare still pervasive. North African boundaries have shifted during various stages of the conquests. Algeria's modern borders were created by the French, whose colonization began in 1830. To benefit French colonists, most of whom were farmers and businessmen, northern Algeria was eventually organized into overseas departments of France, with representatives in the French National Assembly. France controlled the entire country, but the traditional Muslim population in the rural areas remained separated from the modern economic infrastructure of the European community. Indigenous Algerians began their revolt on November 1, 1954, to gain rights denied them under French rule. The revolution, launched by a small group of nationalists who called themselves the National Liberation Front (FLN), was a guerrilla war in which both sides targeted civilians and otherwise used brutal tactics. Eventually, protracted negotiations led to a cease-fire signed by France and the FLN on March 18, 1962, at Evian, France. The Evian accords also provided for continuing economic, financial, technical, and cultural relations, along with interim administrative arrangements until a referendum on self-determination could be held. Over 1 million French citizens living in Algeria at the time, called the "pieds-noirs," left Algeria for France.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Steven Gonzalez outlined the government's case in opening statements against Ahmed Ressam, 33, who authorities say has ties to Osama bin Laden's terrorist network.

The legacy of the revolutionary War of Independence (1954-62) and its lingering implications are still evident in recent political events and in the evolution of political processes. A strong authoritative tendency and the supremacy of the military, both remnants of the war for liberation, have resulted in a sharply divided society in which the political elite remains highly remote from, and generally unaccountable to, the masses of its impoverished, unemployed, and dissatisfied citizens. State-supported socialism, largely fed by petroleum exports, and "depoliticization" of the masses during the 1970s replaced any real source of legitimacy for the regime and left the masses almost no form of political expression short of violent confrontation.

Nationalism and Nation By the second decade of the twentieth century, Moslems in Algeria were requesting integration with metropolitan France. The Moslems wanted full citizenship with France and equal rights in government and military positions in return for France’s ability to draft Moslems into the armed forces. However, nationalist feelings did not fully take hold until after the First World War. The French anti-colonialist Clemenceau appointed a sympathetic governor named Charles Jonnart after the Great War. The Jonnart Law, of 4 February 1919, gave many Moslems the right to vote. About forty-three percent of the adult male population had gained the franchise. Ferhat Abbas, a member of the Algerian Moslem Students Association, became a strong advocate of full integration in the 1930s. In 1944, he created the " Amis du Manifeste de la liberte " (AML), along with Messali Hadj, a more radical Islamic leader. The organization was soon out of his control, and in May 1945 a riot broke out in his hometown of Setif. This riot spread to the rest of the nation; Moslems across Algeria were proclaiming an Arab Algeria and attacking Europeans. European backlash was severe. Hundreds of Moslems were shot on sight, villages were bombed, coastal Islamic towns were shelled from offshore, and martial law was declared. Political reform enacted after the Setif riots was corrupt from the outset, having been initiated and controlled by French colonists. In response, Abbas and Messali both began to reconstitute their political organizations, the UDMA and MTLD respectively. Some of the more radical members of Messali’s group began to form a paramilitary organization known as the "

Anne Donedey's multifaceted, interdisciplinary, both theoretical and textual study thus constitutes a substantial refinement of extant scholarship on postcolonial and transnational narratives.
