Extractions: Source: The Library of Congress Country Studies Algerian Muslims rallied to the French side at the start of World War II as they had done in World War I. Nazi Germany's quick defeat of France, however, and the establishment of the collaborationist Vichy regime, to which the colons were generally sympathetic, not only increased the difficulties of the Muslims but also posed an ominous threat to the Jews in Algeria. The Algerian administration vigorously enforced the anti-Semitic laws imposed by Vichy, which stripped Algerian Jews of their French citizenship. Potential opposition leaders in both the European and the Muslim communities were arrested. Allied landings were made at Algiers and Oran by 70,000 British and United States troops on November 8, 1942, in coordination with landings in Morocco. As part of Operation Torch under the overall command of Lieutenant General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Algiers and Oran were secured two days later after a determined resistance by French defenders. On November 11, Admiral Jean Louis Darlan, commander in chief of Vichy French forces, ordered a cease-fire in North Africa. Algeria provided a base for the subsequent Allied campaign in Tunisia. After the fall of the Vichy regime in Algeria, General Henri Giraud, Free French commander in chief in North Africa, slowly rescinded repressive Vichy laws despite opposition by colon extremists. He also called on the Muslim population to supply troops for the Allied war effort. Ferhat Abbas and twenty-four other Muslim leaders replied that Algerians were ready to fight with the Allies in freeing their homeland but demanded the right to call a conference of Muslim representatives to develop political, economic, and social institutions for the indigenous population "within an essentially French framework." Giraud, who succeeded in raising an army of 250,000 men to fight in the Italian campaign, refused to consider this proposal, explaining that "politics" must wait until the end of the war.

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: BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE BASIC INFO. GEOGRAPHY GOVERNMENT ... Algeria Algeria is an ancient country with a history that extends back several thousand years to the time of the Phoenicians. The Romans, followed by the Germanic Vandal tribes and the Byzantines all ruled the area. When Islam grew mighty in the 8th century A.D., the Berbers of Algeria were converted to that religion and a unique civilization flourished. Some eight centuries later, Spain conquered Algiers and other cities but was driven out by Barbarossa who brought Algeria into the Turkish Ottoman Empire. From this point, piracy became an important money-making tool for the country, so much so that by 1800, the US, England, and France joined in an effort to combat piracy in the Mediterranean. Ottoman rule over the country was brought to an end by the French in 1830. In 1848, following an Islamic rebellion, France made Algeria a legal part of France. In the mid-1950s, a guerilla effort arose to oust the French led by the FLN (Front de Liberation Nationale) and in 1962, independence was declared. Immediately, about a million colonists left Algeria for France. Times have been turbulent for Algeria since independence, including close relations with the Soviet Union and a struggle between fundamentalist Islamists and the military. Since 1992, over 40,000 people have died due to civil unrest and assassinations. In 1999, elections were held; only one candidate remained in the race: Abdelazziz Bouteflika. His government reached agreement with the Islamic rebels in September 1999.

Extractions: In July 2001, President Bouteflika became the first Algerian President to visit the White House since 1985. This visit, followed by a second meeting in November 2001, is indicative of the growing relationship between the United States and Algeria. The United States and Algeria worked closely on the 2000 peace accords between Ethiopia and Eritrea, and the United States consult closely on key international and regional issues. The pace and scope of senior-level visits has accelerated: after a hiatus of more than a decade, three Cabinet-level officials visited Algeria in 2000-01. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks in the United States, contacts in key areas of mutual concern, including law enforcement and counter-terrorism cooperation, have intensified. Algeria has publicly condemned the terrorist attacks on the United States and has been strongly supportive of the international war against terrorism. The U.S.-Algerian economic relationship is deepening and broadening. U.S. direct investment in Algeria totals $4.5 billion, most of which in the petroleum sector, which U.S. companies dominate. American companies also are active in the banking and finance, services, pharmaceuticals, medical facilities, telecommunications, aviation, and information technology sectors. An American Chamber of Commerce was established in 2002, consisting of 40 members. Algeria is the United States fifth-largest market in the Middle East/North African region. Exports to Algeria from the United States rose by more than 150% in 2001. Algeria exports $3 billion of petroleum products and LNG to the United States, primarily to New England.

Extractions: Twenty Fourth Edition, 2001 One cannot really know Algeria without trying to experience, at least once, the extraordinary encounter with its Sahara. It is not a mere question of geography. The Sahara is a place where reality disguises itself in myth. It is also a place where one can experience the extraordinary adventure of self-discovery. One discovers himself in the process of discovering. The sky is so pure, one cannot get over the fact that it is inhabited by so many stars. The sweet elegance of the dunes offers an ever-changing landscape. There are also those marvelous oases that they could be sometimes taken for mirages. A geographer, who was also a poet, has compared the Algerian territory to an amphora of which the break dips into the Mediterranean and the leg lays on the sand. Which country could offer such a diversity? Here is the sea, "this quit roof where doves walk", and here is the mountain dark flank, which the snow covers up in winter. On the immensity of the sand-hill, the oases put a green stain.
