  • Desert Locust Outbreak SW Libya and SE Algeria January - June 2012
    Desert Locust Outbreak SW Libya and SE Algeria January - June 2012 Desert Locust Information Service, Rome www.fao.org/ag/locusts 1 June 2012 update Desert Locust outbreak in SW Libya: overview In early January 2012, Desert Locust infestations were reported in SW Libya near Ghat. The infestations originated from local breeding that occurred after unusually good rains in early October 2011. As locust hoppers and adults concentrated in early February, the number and density of infestations increased and an outbreak developed, and adult moved into SE Algeria. Egg-laying occurred in March, followed by hatching and hopper band formation in April, and swarm formation in mid-May. The Libyan national locust program’s capacity to carry out routine monitoring and respond to outbreaks was badly weakened by events in 2011. Access to potentially infested areas along both sides of the border by national survey and control teams is severely restricted due to insecurity. Unless conditions remain favourable, swarms that form in the outbreak area during May are expected to invade Mali and Niger in June. October 2011. Unusually good widespread rains that eventually led to a Desert Locust outbreak During the first decade of October, light rains fell in SW Libya on the 1st, 5th and 6th, and again on the 9th while moderate rains fell on the 7th and 8th. Prior to October, light rain had fallen at times in the same area in March, April, May, June and September. However, the October rains were much heavier and more widespread, extending from Tamanrasset in southern Algeria to Waddan in central Libya.

  • Compact Cities As a Response to the Challenging Local Environmental Constraints in Hot Arid Lands of Algeria
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com ScienceDirect Energy Procedia 42 ( 2013 ) 493 – 502 Mediterranean Green Energy Forum (MGEF-13) Compact cities as a response to the challenging local environmental constraints in hot arid lands of Algeria A. Bouchaira*, H. Tebboucheb, A. Hammounic, M.C Lehtihetd, M. Bliblie a,b,c,e,d University of Jijel,Research Laboratory CBE, BP 98 Ouled Aissa, Jijel 18000,Algeria Abstract Compact settlements or “Ksur” have been commonly used in the hot dry climate of Algeria in response to imposed local environmental conditions through passive design strategies or means. These strategies include three major levels: settlement planning, building design and building components. A compact settlement provides a protective thermal environment and responds favorably to the harsh environmental stresses. It is built to withstand the excessive heat and mitigates the stresses imposed by the environment on people occupying outdoors and improves indoor comfort with minimum energy consumption. Although, there are now technical means that would allow building design to ignore the climate, there are still good reasons to adopt passive techniques, not only economic, but also to promote environmental sustainability at both local and global levels. This paper aims to give an overview and a comprehensive understanding of the compact city concepts and strategies to cope with the harsh conditions of the desert in a sustainable way. Recommendations and basic principles that may be of benefit in sustainable building and settlement design in the future are also discussed. Erreur !

  • Général Hartemann 1934-1944
    Général Hartemann 1934-1944 Général André Hartemann Mise en page par Pierre Jarrige Prologue Ce témoignage m’avait été remis par Philippe Hartemann, le fils aîné du général André Hartemann. Dans un style remarquable, avec des description splendides, le général relate onze années d’une activité exceptionnelle, onze années de sa vie qui l’ont vu passer de capitaine des Tirailleurs algériens à colonel et pilote de l’armée de l’Air en étant le témoin privilégié des évènements qui ont agité l’Algérie et la France : Témoin et acteur de la fin de la conquête aérienne du Sahara, témoin de la chute de l’Armée française en 1940, témoin et acteur de l’activité souterraine en Algérie en préparant la reprise des combats, témoin du Débarquement allié du 8 novembre 1942 et témoin et acteur de la reprise des combats avec les Alliés. Le général ne connaît pas la langue de bois et sa plume acérée traduit franchement ses sentiments sur les hommes et les évènements. Malheureusement, Philippe Hartemann, auteur de la biographie de son père et du récit du Dé- barquement vu par un enfant, décédé le 8 novembre 2013, ne connaîtra pas ce document.
