More about Algeria
Population
The average population density (2017) is 17 residents per km 2. Around 95% of the population, around three quarters of which are Arabs and a quarter of which are Berbers (including Kabylen, Tuareg), live in the north of the country (on around 15% of the land area). Pure Berber areas are the Kabylia (central part of the Tell Atlas), the Aurès, the Hoggar (Ahaggar), the M’zab and smaller, mostly bilingual (Arabic-Berber) areas in the Tell and Sahara Atlas.
The Berbers in Algeria
“Islam is my religion, Arabic is my language and Algeria is my fatherland.” This was the slogan that was used in the Algerian liberation struggle until independence in 1962. The unity of the Algerian population postulated therein was, however, a fiction, because it did not address one of the largest population groups: the Berbers. They made up around 40% of the Algerian population in the 1950s. When Ahmed Ben Bella became the first prime minister of independent Algeria in 1962, they hoped for cultural autonomy after centuries of foreign rule and oppression. Instead, Ben Bella proclaimed: “We are Arabs, we are Arabs, we are Arabs and belong to the Arab nation.” Arabic became the official language, all other languages were suppressed.
This led to bloodily suppressed uprisings in the 1980s, especially in Kabylia. The Berber language Tamazight was not recognized until 2002. The old Berber poems and stories could now be performed and told again in public. Since there is no uniform Berber script, the oral tradition is particularly important for the continued existence of Berber culture.
The Berbers of Kabylia were able to preserve their pre-Islamic customs despite Islamization and Arabization. So z. B. Pottery and weaving accompanied by rites. According to the Berber, objects are animated and emit negative or positive forces, while colors such as indigo and henna enhance the protective effect of textiles. With these traditional ideas, the Berbers are often at odds with Islamic teaching.
The traditional ceramics of the Berbers can be traced back to the Neolithic; like the carpets, it is only made by the Berber women. The ceramic and textile ornaments form a kind of secret language for women, knowledge about them is only passed on from mother to daughter.
Most Europeans left the country after gaining independence (1962). Since then, however, around 35,000 French have immigrated. In 1998, only Arabic was recognized as the official language, but French still retained its importance as a business language. In 2002, the Berber language Tamazight was recognized as a national language, and in 2016 as an official language.
There is a strong internal migration to the cities, in which (2018) 73% of the population live. The largest metropolitan areas are Algiers, Oran and Constantine. It is estimated that 2.3 million Algerians live and work abroad, mainly in France. At the end of 2017, 94,300 refugees were in northern Algeria, most of them waiting to be transferred to Europe. Another 165,000 refugees are said to be housed in camps in the Sahara, according to government information.

Social: There is general social insurance (pension and health insurance). Medical facilities are largely limited to the cities in the north. Women are severely disadvantaged in social life. They hardly take part in working life (2018: 15%). In inheritance, divorce and custody of children, they do not have the same rights as men.
Religion
In the preamble, the constitution emphasizes the importance of Islam as a fundamental component of Algerian national identity and defines it as the state religion in Article 2. The practice of the Jewish and Christian religions is tolerated. The state control of the religious communities is v. a. aimed at preventing fundamentalist-Islamist aspirations and movements.
Over 99% of the population are Sunni Muslims, almost exclusively of the Maliki law school with the exception of a Hanefite minority among the Moors. The Berbers in the M’zab (Mozabites) belong to the Islamic special community of the Ibadites.
Members of Christian churches (Catholics, Protestants) – predominantly foreigners living in Algeria – and other religious communities together make up less than 1% of the population. The Christian churches have the legal status of associations. The founding history of the Jewish communities in Algeria is closely related to the Sephardic emigration in the 15th and 16th centuries. Century connected (Sefarad; Marranen); the turning point in Jewish community history in the 20th century was the 1st Israeli-Arab War (1948/49), as a result of which around 135,000 of the approximately 140,000 Algerian Jews emigrated to France and Israel. The number of Jews still living in Algeria today is unknown. For fear of persecution, they keep their religion a secret.
