After originally breaking onto the music scene during the 80’s leading the post-new wave pop group ‘Til Tuesday, Aimee Mann has gone on to establish herself as one of the most prominent singer-songwriters of her generation. Her successful solo career has spanned across several critically acclaimed albums, including the massively popular soundtrack for the film Magnolia, which garnered her an Academy Award nomination for Best Song in 2000.

énès (orتنس in Arabic) is an Algerian seaside resort located about 200 kilometers west of the capital Algiers. A very small city, it has a population of 35,000 people, as of 2000.
Ténès is an ancient town which existed in the 8th century BC. It was called Cartenae or Carthenes at that time. Ténès or Carthenes was first a Phoenician town then it was dominated by the Romans who freed it from the despotism and the terror of the Vandals. Therefore, the tribes of this town decided to reward the Romans by giving the name of the Roman leader (of the Roman army) “Ténès” to their freed town. Later the town was conquered by the Arabs who preached Islam in north Africa. Under the Arab rule, Ténès was an idependent monarchy. The Sultan Hassen Abid was the last one who ruled the monarchy of Ténès. The Ottomans attacked Ténès and defeated its army and annexed it to their vast empire in 1512.From that time Ténès lost its fame and importance and became an isolated town. Ténès Al-Atika(Vieux-Ténès)was built by the Moors who escaped from the Spanish persecution in 1400s after the collapse of the Arab States in Spain. In 1843, Ténès was occupied by the French who declared it a township and rebuilt the ancient Carthenes some 2 km to the north of Ténès-al-Atika.

Nearly four times the size of Texas, Algeria is bordered on the west by Morocco and Western Sahara and on the east by Tunisia and Libya. The Mediterranean Sea is to the north, and to the south are Mauritania, Mali, and Niger. The Saharan region, which is 85% of the country, is almost completely uninhabited. The highest point is Mount Tahat in the Sahara, which rises 9,850 ft (3,000 m).
Excavations in Algeria have indicated that Homo erectus resided there between 500,000 and 700,000 years ago. Phoenician traders settled on the Mediterranean coast in the 1st millennium B.C. As ancient Numidia, Algeria became a Roman colony, part of what was called Mauretania Caesariensis, at the close of the Punic Wars (145 B.C.). Conquered by the Vandals about A.D. 440, it fell from a high state of civilization to virtual barbarism, from which it partly recovered after an invasion by Arabs about 650. Christian during its Roman period, the indigenous Berbers were then converted to Islam. Falling under the control of the Ottoman Empire by 1536, Algiers served for three centuries as the headquarters of the Barbary pirates. Ostensibly to rid the region of the pirates, the French occupied Algeria in 1830 and made it a part of France in 1848.

Algerian independence movements led to the uprisings of 1954–1955, which developed into full-scale war. In 1962, French president Charles de Gaulle began the peace negotiations, and on July 5, 1962, Algeria was proclaimed independent. In Oct. 1963, Ahmed Ben Bella was elected president, and the country became Socialist. He began to nationalize foreign holdings and aroused opposition. He was overthrown in a military coup on June 19, 1965, by Col. Houari Boumédienne, who suspended the constitution and sought to restore economic stability. After his death, Boumédienne was succeeded by Col. Chadli Bendjedid in 1978. Berbers rioted in 1980 when Arabic was made the country’s only official language.

Algeria is the second largest country in Africa. Its neighbours include Niger, Tunisia, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco and Mali. The name Algeria is derived from Algiers which in turn is derived from Arabic word ‘al-jazir’. Al-jazir means ‘the islands’ when translated in to English. Therefore by transitive property Algeria means ‘the islands’.

Algeria has an estimated population of 32.854,000 people, making it the thirty fifth largest nation in the world population wise. Size wise, it is the eleventh largest nation in the world with approximately 2,381,741 sq km of territory. Its capital city is Algiers. Its official language is Arabic.

In between 1830 and 1962, Algeria was a French colony. Its present President is Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Algeria’s current Prime Minister is Abdelaziz Belkhadem. Its currency is the Algerian dinar.
