A couple days in Ghardaia, a fabulous oasis in the M’Zab valley, in the algerian desert, with 5 old sacred mozabite cities… unlike any other! A great rest, with wonderful people from the local branch of the Algerian Red Crescent, during Ramadan.

Chronicle 57: Yes, it is possible to live in Algeria!

Filed under: Algeria — admin @ 4:54 pm

*** From August 2003 – Size: 84K – no photos- 7 pages – in French
Let it be known: in real life, Algeria is not the sad and awful image that is exclusively being showed on French TV: a nest of unscrupulous islamist terrorists ready to cut the throat of any foreigner, a reserve of potential legal or illegal immigrant youngsters who will necessarily end up burning cars in the suburbs of major cities, nor a people inspired with hatred of anything French and spirit of revenge toward the former colonial power… Quite the contrary! In the end, it is a very liveable place, even quite lovely and incredibly welcoming and generous!

Chronicle 55: Earthquake in Algeria

Filed under: Algeria, Humanitarian world — admin @ 4:38 pm

*** From June 2003- Size: 260K – including pictures- 7 pages – in French
On the field, sent by the French Red Cross to support the Algerian Red Crescent: a subjective photograph of the situation, only one month after the earthquake. My first time on a site devastated by a natural disaster. But the actual situation of the people, and what international aid sometimes really is all about, does not always match what we see or imagine from the media coverage…
