Algeria

From Heterodontosaurus Balls

Algeria, officially full name People’s Democratic Republic of Algeria, is a huge country located in northern Africa. He is the 10th largest country in the world, and also borders the Mediterranean Sea towards the north.

History

After gaining independence from France in 1962, Algeria adopted a socialist model. But this was dropped as the entire communist world in Africa was collapsing.

A growing Islamic movement and no political freedom are not good things together. The cancellation of elections in 1992, which the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) was poised to win, led to a violent conflict between the government and Islamist militants. This caused the Algerian Civil War, which lasted for 10 years and 4 weeks. Finally, the government offered amnesty to militants who renounced violence.

Algeria has tried to heal and rebuild. There have been some periods of stability, but also protests against corruption and lack of democracy, especially in 2019. Algeria also got infected with COVID-19.

Economy

The hydrocarbons sector is the backbone of the Algerian economy, accounting for roughly 60% of budget revenues, nearly 30% of GDP, and over 97% of export earnings. Algeria has the ninth-largest reserves of natural gas in the world (2.7% of proven world total) and is the fourth-largest gas exporter; he ranks 14th for oil reserves (2006). His key oil and gas customers are Italy, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the United States of America. U.S. companies have played a major role in developing Algeria's oil and gas sector; of the $5.3 billion (on a historical-cost basis) of U.S. investment in Algeria, the vast bulk is in the petroleum sector.

People

Ninety-one percent of the Algerian population lives along the Mediterranean coast on 12% of the country's total land mass. Forty-five percent of the population is urban, and urbanization continues, despite government efforts to discourage migration to the cities. About 1.5 million nomads and semi-settled Bedouin (Arabic nomads) still live in the Saharan area.
