1. Residentieel:<\/strong>\u00a0De Sahara-woestijn beslaat meer dan 80% van Algerije. Meer dan 90% van de bevolking woont op ongeveer 12% van het landoppervlak aan de Middellandse Zeekust. De overige 10% leven in het binnenland, meestal geconcentreerd in oases omringd door woestijn.<\/p>\n

2. Grootte:<\/strong>\u00a0Algerije is tegenwoordig het grootste land van Afrika. Voor 9 juli 2011, toen Zuid-Soedan onafhankelijk werd en de titel van 's werelds nieuwste land kreeg, was Soedan het grootste land van Afrika. Algerije is ook het 10e grootste land ter wereld.<\/p>\n

3. Warmterecord:<\/strong>\u00a0De hoogste temperatuur ooit gemeten in Algerije is 51 graden, gemeten in augustus 2011.<\/p>\n

4. Kolonisten:<\/strong>\u00a0Sinds de oudheid heeft Algerije kolonisten aangetrokken - Fenici\u00ebrs, Romeinen, Arabieren, Turken - en in de 19e eeuw Franse boeren. De Fransen reorganiseerden Algerije zonder rekening te houden met de lokale Arabieren en Berbers, wat leidde tot de oorlog van Algiers.<\/p>\n

5. De oorlogen in Algiers:<\/strong>\u00a0Tijdens de oorlog van Algiers (1954 - 1962) won Algerije zijn onafhankelijkheid van de koloniale mogendheid Frankrijk, die het land sinds 1830 had geregeerd. Hoewel het exacte dodental wordt betwist, wordt geschat dat de oorlog van Algiers in totaal aan ongeveer 1,5 miljoen mensen het leven heeft gekost. Na de oorlog emigreerden ongeveer 1 miljoen Fransen (de zogenaamde 'pieds-noirs')<\/p>\n

Feit: Algerije is al heel lang aantrekkelijk voor verschillende kolonisten - waaronder Fenici\u00ebrs, Romeinen, Arabieren, Turken en Fransen. Op de foto zie je Romeinse ru\u00efnes in Algerije<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. OL:<\/strong>\u00a0Algerije heeft sinds 1964 aan alle Olympische Zomerspelen deelgenomen en heeft 5 gouden medailles gewonnen (4 x 1500 meter hardlopen en 1 x boksen).<\/p>\n

7. Nobelprijzen:<\/strong>\u00a02 Algerijnen hebben in de loop der jaren Nobelprijzen gewonnen: Albert Camus (literatuur in 1957) en Claude Cohen-Tannoudji (natuurkunde in 1997).<\/p>\n

8. Ezel in het Hooggerechtshof:<\/strong>\u00a0In 2007 moest een Algerijnse rechtbank een zaak over het eigendom van een ezel doorverwijzen naar het Hooggerechtshof; twee mannen op een Algerijnse markt waren aan het afdingen over de prijs van een ezel. Terwijl de onderhandelingen zich voortsleepten, merkten ze niet dat de ezel het geld opat dat de koper had meegebracht. Hierdoor vroegen de twee mannen zich af van wie de ezel was. Omdat de districtsrechtbank geen uitspraak kon doen, werd de zaak doorgestuurd naar het Hooggerechtshof...<\/p>\n

9. Beroemde Algerijnen:<\/strong>\u00a0Beroemde Algerijnen zijn onder andere voetballer Zinedine Zidane en schrijver Albert Camus. De wereldberoemde ontwerper Yves Saint Laurent werd ook in Algerije geboren, maar uit Franse ouders. Verder terug in de geschiedenis (in de late oudheid) was Augustinus van Hippo de beroemdste theoloog van zijn tijd. Augustinus werd geboren in de Romeinse stad Tagaste, het huidige Souk Ahras in Algerije.<\/p>\n

10. Exporteren:<\/strong> Aardolie en aardgas vormen al heel lang de ruggengraat van de Algerijnse economie. 95% van de huidige export van het land gaat naar deze sectoren. Algerije heeft de 16e grootste oliereserves en de 16e grootste aardgasreserves ter wereld.<\/p>\n
