Algeria (Arabic: الجزائر‎ al-JazÄ?'ir; Berber: âµ?ⵣⵣⴰⵢⴻⵔ Dzayer), officially People's Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a sovereign state in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast. Its capital and most populous city is Algiers, located in the country's far north. With an area of 2,381,741 square kilometres (919,595 sq mi), Algeria is the tenth-largest country in the world, and the largest in Africa and the Arab world. Algeria is bordered to the northeast by Tunisia, to the east by Libya, to the west by Morocco, to the southwest by Western Sahara, Mauritania, and Mali, to the southeast by Niger, and to the north by the Mediterranean Sea. The country is a semi-presidential republic consisting of 48 provinces and 1,541 communes. Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been President since 1999.
Ancient Algeria has known many empires and dynasties, including ancient Numidians, Phoenicians, Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Umayyads, Abbasids, Idrisid, Aghlabid, Rustamid, Fatimids, Zirid, Hammadids, Almoravids, Almohads, Ottomans and the French colonial empire. Berbers are generally considered to be the indigenous inhabitants of Algeria. Following the Arab conquest of North Africa, most indigenous inhabitants were Arabised; thus, although most Algerians are Berber in origin, most identify with Arab culture. En masse, Algerians are a mix of Berbers, Arabs, Turks and Black Africans.
Algerian wine is wine made in Algeria. While not a significant force on the world's wine market today, Algeria has played an important role in the history of wine. Algeria's viticultural history dates back to its settlement by the Phoenicians and continued under Algeria's rule by the Roman empire. Just prior to the Algerian War of Independence, Algerian wine (along with the production of Morocco and Tunisia) accounted for nearly two-thirds of the total international wine trade. With as much land under vine as the countries of Germany and South Africa, Algeria continues to maintain a wine industry with over 70 wineries in operation.
The roots of Algerian winemaking can be traced to the settlement of the Phoenicians and the influences of nearby Carthage. Under Roman rule, winemaking continued until the Muslim conquests of North Africa in the 7th and 8th centuries. During this time the wine industry was severely limited due to the prohibition of alcohol under Islamic dietary laws. When Algeria came under French rule in 1830 vineyards were replanted in order to serve the needs of the local pieds-noir. When the phylloxera epidemic destroyed the French vineyards in the mid-19th century, Algerian wine exports into France filled the void. An influx of winemakers from the German wine region of Baden brought with them more modern winemaking techniques and helped to increase the overall quality of Algeria wine. Even after the French resumed normal levels of wine production, Algerian wine was still widely used in regions like the Languedoc as a blending component that added color and strength to the wines.
1213 Algeria, provisional designation 1931 XD, is a carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 33 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French astronomer Guy Reiss at the North African Algiers Observatory on 5 December 1931. Three nights later, the body was independently discovered by Belgian–American astronomer George Van Biesbroeck at Williams Bay in the U.S state of Wisconsin.
The dark C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 2.7–3.5 AU once every 5 years and 7 months (2,029 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.13 and is tilted by 13 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 16 hours and an albedo between 0.06 and 0.09, according to the surveys carried out by the IRAS, Akari, and WISE/NEOWISE missions.
The minor planet was named in honour of the North African country Algeria, location of the discovering observatory and a French colony at the time.

For the past four months, millions of Algerians have been hitting the streets of cities and villages across the country, demanding change. Protesters have already succeeded in toppling the country's long time president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, but they are far from done. Their next target is nothing less than a comprehensive dismantling of the ruling system. Their rallying cry: #Yetne7aw_ga3, "They must all go!" A key catalyst of the protests has been the emergence of a new generation: tech savvy, politically conscious, and hungry for change. Growing up in a context of rising inequality and limited opportunities, and faced with a moribund official media ecosystem - long closed to any dissenting voices - millions of young Algerians have had to forge their own alternative spaces, principally...

What lies ahead for Algeria? Following weeks of anti-government protests, Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced on Tuesday that he has resigned, state media reported. Algerians began rallying against the ailing, 82-year-old leader in February when Bouteflika initially announced his bid to run for a fifth term. Seeking an even greater political overhaul, many Algerian protesters are unhappy with what they see as a government that serves only the nation’s elites. What type of political transition can we expect in Algeria? Chad’s social media ban It’s been more than a year since the Chadian government blocked social media access to its citizens.

Algeria has said goodbye to its days under President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s government. This man led Algeria for almost 20 years. His last days were crazy. Something like a cross between fantasy fiction and ancient myth. See, since the president had a stroke in 2013, he has depended completely on others: he can’t even talk or walk. Despite this, in 2014 he won the elections again and he even tried for an additional term in 2019. But that was the last straw for the Algerians, who, fed up with what in practice has been a civil dictatorship that has plunged the country into chronic stagnation, took to the streets to demand change. In this video, we’ll tell you what’s happening in Algeria and the story behind Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Who was El Cid Campeador? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Ci...
