Scope Of Document 1.1 This Country Report has been produced by the Country Information and Policy Unit, Immigration and Nationality Directorate, Home Office, for use by Home Office officials involved in the asylum / human rights determination process. The Report provides general background information about the issues most commonly raised in asylum / human rights claims made in the United Kingdom. It is not a detailed or comprehensive survey. 1.2 The Report is compiled from a wide range of recognised sources and does not contain any Home Office opinion or policy. All information in the Report is attributed, throughout the text, to original source material, which has been made available to those working in the asylum / human rights determination process. The Report aims to provide only a brief summary of the source material quoted. For a more detailed account, the relevant source documents should be examined directly. 1.3 The information contained in this Country Report is, by its nature, limited to information that we have been able to identify from various well-recognised sources. The contents of this Report are not exhaustive and the absence of information under any particular heading does not imply that any analysis or judgement has been exercised to exclude that information, but simply that relevant information on the subject has not been identified from the sources that have been consulted. Equally, the information included in the Reports should not be taken to imply anything beyond what is actually stated. 1.4 The great majority of the source material is readily available in the public domain. Copies of other source documents, such as those provided by government offices, may be provided upon request. Algeria April 2004 1.5 All sources have been checked for currency, and as far as can be ascertained, contain information, which remained relevant at the time, this Report was issued. Some source documents have been included because they contain relevant information not available in more recent documents. 1.6 This Country Report and the accompanying source material are publicly disclosable. Where sources identified in this Report are available in electronic form the relevant link has been included. The date that the relevant link was accessed in preparing the report is also included. Paper copies of the source documents have been distributed to nominated officers within IND. 1.7 It is intended to revise this Report on a six-monthly basis while the country remains within the top 35 asylum producing countries in the United Kingdom. Information contained in Country Reports is inevitably overtaken by events that occur between the 6 monthly publications. Caseworkers are informed of such changes in country conditions by means of Country Information Bulletins. Return to Contents 2. Geography 2.1 The official state name is Republique populaire democratique d’Algérie (People's Democratic Republic of Algeria) or El-Djezaïr or Al-Djoumhouryya Al-Djazairyya ad Dimoukratyya Ash-Shabyya. [1] [24a] Algeria is on the north-west Mediterranean coast of Africa, and is bounded by Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Libya, Tunisia, and the disputed Western Sahara territory. [1] 2.2 The capital is Algiers (or El-Djezaïr). The other principal towns are Oran, Constantine (Qacentina), Annaba and Blida (el-Boulaida). The area of Algeria is 2,381,741 square kilometres (919,595 square miles), four-fifths of which is in the Sahara Desert. [1] [24a] [60e] Thus, most of the population centres are on or near the northern coast. [1] [60e] [66b] 2.3 The country is divided into 48 provinces or wilayas headed by governors. [1] [6e] [12] [23b] These are further subdivided into districts (daira) then into municipalities (communes). [12] 2.4 The population is estimated at around 30 million. [1] [15a] [66b] The capital, Algiers, has the highest population concentration with about one and a half million people. [1] About half of the population lives in urban areas. [1] [23a] [38] [53] About 34% of the population was below the age of 15 in 2001. [23a] Most Algerians are of Arab, Berber, or mixed Arab- Berber stock. [6e] [66b] The European population has declined from over one million before independence in 1962 to less than 50,000 in 2001, most of whom are French. [66b] 2.5 The official language is Arabic. The Berber languages, particularly Tamazight, are also spoken, particularly in the Kabylie and Aures mountain regions. French is very widely spoken and continues to be the language of business. [1] [3] [4] [14h] [24a] [53] A report by Forced Migration Online in January 2004 stated that “The official language is Modern Standard Arabic, although this is rarely spoken outside official situations. The huge majority of the population speak the Algerian dialect of Arabic, which is similar to Moroccan and Tunisian Arabic but very different from the Arab dialects of the Mashrek.” [53] In April 2002 the constitution was amended to make Tamazight one of the country’s national languages.

Economy 3.1 The main unit of currency is the Algerian dinar (AD). 1 AD =100 centimes (CT) [1] Exchange rate approximately £I = 130.47 AD, US$1 =68.52 AD. [52] Paper money comprises banknotes with a face value of 5,10, 20 centimes and 1,2,5,10,20,50 dinars. [10] 3.2 The south of the country is rich in natural oil and gas, the exploitation of which is dominated by the state-owned Sonatrach company and has been the foremost generator of government revenue for decades, contributing as much as 60% of budgetary revenues.

  • Algeria: Free Press, Opaque Political Economy
    Algeria: Free Press, Opaque Political Economy One of the bright spots in Algerian politics since 1988 has been a vibrant printed press, privately owned in large part. Readership in both French and Arabic forged rapidly ahead of those in neighboring countries in the late 1980s, and Algeria exemplified the freest press in the region. During the Islamist insurrection readership plummeted but then recovered slightly in 1998, the last year of available World Bank statistics. Morocco, experiencing a gradual political opening after 1996 and a more diversified press, was now catching up with Algeria, although Moroccan literacy rates were much lower. Comparisons between Algeria and Tunisia are perhaps more instructive because the two countries have roughly similar literacy rates, but the latter has a much duller, controlled press and less readership. This paper will try to explain why Algeria’s press still attracts fewer readers than might be expected, given its contents and levels of public literacy. First I will illustrate how freely it operates, compared to its Maghribi counterparts, by examining how the Algerian press treats its president, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, and how it handled the news of the failure of a big Algerian private sector conglomerate, the Khalifa Group. But I also argue that press readership may reflect not only the relative liberty of the press but also the possibilities of the readership to respond to the news by engaging in forms of collective action. Newspaper readership is largely a function of per capita income, but within a given economy, at least along the Southern Mediterranean, it also tracks pretty well with political openings and closures in a number of Southern Mediterranean countries for which World Bank data are available 1980-1998 (Algeria, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Syria, and Tunisia).

  • International Water Confrence 2016 Water Resource in Arid Areas: the Way Forward Book of Abstracts
    2016 International Water Confrence 2016 Water Resource in Arid areas: The Way Forward Book of abstracts Sultan Qaboos University Water Research Center March 13-16 , 2016 Muscat , Sultanate of Oman Preface The rising demand for water associated with population growth, water-intensive diets and rising of living standards has severely stressed water resources. This is much aggravated in arid areas where natural water resources depletion attributed low precipitation and high evaporation rates. The water budget deficit in arid areas, the high cost of water supply, the essential need for food and associated energy value among other challenges all need to be scientifically addressed to find solutions to world current and future water problems. Multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary fundamental and applied scientific research from the engineering sciences, atmospheric sciences, agro-sciences, hydrology and geology is essential to help in solving water problems. Moreover, fundamental and applied social sciences are important to address institutional, policy, and management issues. In the views of the above challenges and developments, the International Conference "Water Resources in Arid Areas: The Way Forward" is planned and organized to bring water scientists, engineers, policy makers, managers and research and governmental institutions to share the latest knowledge in water research and explore the ways in finding solutions to water crises with emphasis on the arid areas. The present "Abstract Book" contains over 300 abstracts covering a wide spectrum of water science and addresses multiple issues and techniques. Thanks to all contributors and participants. The Conference Scientific Committee has reviewed abstracts from several countries and institutions and recommends on the basis of quality and importance the ones published in this "Abstract Book".

  • Introduction* the Existence of the Protocol for World
    *Introduction* The existence of The Protocol for World Peace: A Prototype rests on the assumption that the secret to world peace is a discoverable pattern of ideas, and that this pattern is concealed, in whole or in part, in the written texts and vocalized or signed methods of communication presently in use throughout the world. The words of this process themselves become data for the purpose of analysis; and it follows that since the conceived data array is known to be (because on-going) of an infinite mass, the analytic methods to be followed must necessarily involve some form of programmable computerization. My part in all this has been to establish the initial sequence of events having to do with the collection of the data itself setting parameters for the collection in time and space and determining the nature of its authorship—everything except designing the programs suitable for its execution. Consequently: 1. The existence was postulated of a permanently progressive and fundamental change in organizational conceptualization, after which it became impossible to return to a world dominated by horse, wagon and sail, and which for want of a better term could be defined by the single term, Modernity. 2. The spatial components of this change were the 20th century (measured in time from 1901-2000; and a 19th century whose data collection time would stretch back to about 1680. This would be necessary because it was further thought that a. the entirety of Modernity must embrace the whole of the Industrial Revolution, in its mechanical as well as technological and digital phases; b.
