The Accomplishments of Bouteflika's Presidency in Algeria

In 1950, Algeria started the violent struggle for their independence that was led by National Liberation Front. The 1990s Algeria has been in all kind of turmoil and violence with the government, military, and Islamic fundamentalist group aka Islamic Salvation Front (FIS). Still to this date Algeria have to deal with the Islamic extremism with regards to the al Qaeda in the Lands of the Islamic Maghreb. The highlight of a terrorist group in Algeria is the Armed Islamic Group (GIA) that was formed in 1992 the government disregarded the victory of the FIS and this was the largest Islamic

People try to help people when sometimes, no help is needed. During the 1800's, the more developed countries wished to expand and help to develop other nations. They did this by the process called imperialism. One of these developed countries was France, who imperialized Algeria. They did this for many reasons such as nationalism and the White Man's Burden. French Imperialism on Algeria was harmful during and after Algerian independence politically, socially and economically. It was harmful during because politically, the French took over Algeria by force and forced them to do their work. Socially harmful because the Algerians morals and way of life depleted. And economically because they were given jobs equal to lower class citizens, and did not help their economy. After independence, Algeria did not keep the changes that France had previously made politically, socially and economically. Making the whole process harmful to Algeria

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.

The Algerian insurgency used the strategy that Mao developed and perfected but every nation or country has to tailor their strategy based on the cultural and ethnic traditions and background. “The

They include political instability and economic constraints. There was no peace in Algeria. At any time death could occur. Many people face such challenges every day, and it is always very hard for them to face them since it is not clear to them what might happen next. Islamist wanted power, and they wanted to get it by force. They were forcing people to convert to their faith or die. That means people lived without freedom. As a result, many people decide to leave. They, however, also faced discrimination in the new country. Citizens in the countries they migrate to view them as competitors and invaders who are after their scarce resources. The only immunity is the immigration

Migration in Algeria is also imputed to professional and intellectual reasons. One way to evidence this is the movement of the Algerian doctors from Algeria to France for training at the start of the French imperialism (Christelow, 2012). Another instructive example would be career mobility of the Algerian students and teachers towards different international universities in the light of internationalization and academic exchange programs. .In the following section, the focus will be narrowed down to the evolving of the Algerian internationalization

make a compelling case for the expression of the Algerian government’s role in the persistence of the conflict.

However, the greed for power overtook the French and made them create policies that were oppressive, ridiculous, and equated to too much for one group of people. Those strict policies and complete control would be the reason that the Algerian colony was able to break the hold of the French and continue the negative spiral that history had paved for them. Colonialism in Algeria would not be the answer to bolstering their image and would set the French further back than they were prior to having the territory handed to them during the Berlin Conference. However, the French were able to capitalize on the economic benefits of the colony and profit greatly while in control of the colony. The loss of Algeria as a colony in the 1960’s would equate to one of the most significant and defining aspects of what France would be like following the post-colonial era. The treatment of the Algerians and the over-bearing nature of the French could explain why the Algerian colony was a failed endeavor for the French. They attempted to control all political, social, and economic aspects of the colony to ensure that they were seen as powerful by not only the natives, but the other powerful European nations that were colonizing the African

Even though both articles discuss the topic of the Algerian hostage crisis, they are remarkably presented differently. For instance, the contextual information in which each author

Gillo Pontecorvo’s ‘The Battle of Algiers’ represents one of the most violent revolts in modern history – The Algerian struggle for independence from 1954 to 1962. More specifically; the year long struggle between the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) guerilla movement and the French in the capital of Algiers. This conflict seemed to be the birth of urban terrorism tactics that we see used today in many terrorist attacks. The first half of the film shows the tactical and strategic uses of terrorisms and the forms of urban guerilla warfare used by the FLN, while the second half of the film depicts the counter-terrorism response of the French. While this is not a documentary, it does show a fair, albeit dramatized, representation of the events that unfolded in the Casbah during this time.

The French colonists or Europeans who settled in Algeria since the nineteenth century and their descendants, the true "pied-noirs", were not guilty of the drama that is lived and still living in that country of the Maghreb. The emigration to Algeria was carried out for political or economic reasons. It opened a new region to Europe and the promise of a better life. The Rulers French gave to the French and Europeans who settled in Algeria large facilities, both legal and economic as protective. They believed legitimate access the right of possession of land or property. Algerians are hardworking people who tried to transform the economy of the region; it is clear that for its own benefit and not that of indigenous populations. Never understood that the humble peasant, craftsman or merchant, ancient inhabitant of the country, could feel stripped and humiliated by the expropriation of their land and property and the contempt

In the cinematic analysis that preceded over the Algerian struggle for their independence from France exposed the ambiguous nature of Western imperialism in an effort to combat the resistance and terrorism that followed. Judging by how the filmmakers oriented the visuals throughout the movie, it was clear that they depicted the French as having some sort of counterinsurgency tactic such

Second largest country in Africa, tenth largest country in the world, diverse culture extending from the Mediterranean coast to the dunes of the Sahara Desert...Algeria. Even with its massive size the current status of Algeria’s economy is quivering in the lofty winds of the Tell Atlas Mountains. The economy tends to remain dominated by the state, which is accordingly a legacy of the country’s socialist post-independence development model. Hydrocarbons are the backbone for Algeria, accounting for 60% of budget revenues, 30% GDP, and 95% of export earnings. Reviewing the last five years we see the government halting privatization of state-owned industries, and increasing the restrictions of imports and foreign involvement. Algeria’s

Algeria was not always been independent and has been a part of several border and authority changes. Since its independency, Algeria has struggled to define its cultural identity. Several strategies have been employed to gain ground on its identity, such as promoting a policy of Arabization, loosening up the economy, and opening their political sphere. “Today the Algerian government seeks not only to sustain the recent ebb in violence and insecurity but also to promote greater unity within the country” (Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center, 2011).
