Gillo Pontecorvo. The Battle of Algiers. Produced and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo. 120 min. 1966. Videocassette. Commerce and IndustryLast Updated: 7/6/2005 7:43 AM After several years of slow growth and after 10 years of security difficulties, the Algerian economy began to grow significantly in 2001. The engine of this growth remains the hydrocarbons sector, which has benefited from high oil prices. Agriculture, another growth sector, has benefited in many parts of the country from expanded irrigation and higher rates of rainfall in recent years. Construction and services are also sectors that are poised f ... [Read More]
USIS Washington File: TEXT: EIA ON OPEC FINANCIAL SITUATION
Individual OPEC members' shares of total oil export revenues have fluctuated over the past three decades, but several trends are apparent. First, Saudi Arabia consistently has earned more oil export revenues than any other single member of OPEC, with the Saudi share ranging from below 20% in 1972 to over 40% in the early 1980s. Today, Saudi Arabia's oil export revenues account for about 28% of total OPEC revenues. Second, Iran's revenue share fell after the 1978/79 Iranian Revolution(followed soon thereafter by the Iran-Iraq War for much of the 1980s), and has never recovered since. Today, Iran accounts for about 11% of total OPEC oil export revenues. Third, Iraq's oil export revenue share has fluctuated sharply, from a high of around 15% in the late 1980s, to near 0% for several years following its August 1990 invasion of Kuwait (and the subsequent United Nations oil embargo, which continues to this day). Iraqi oil export revenues have increased over the past two years or so und ... [Read More]

Algeria
Algeria is a multiparty republic based upon a constitution and a presidential form of government. The head of state is elected by popular, secret vote to a 5-year term. The president has the constitutional authority to appoint and dismiss cabinet members, as well as the Prime minister who acts as the head of government. President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was last elected in 1999, running unopposed after the other candidates withdrew on the eve of the election citing voting fraud. Bouteflika is not formally affiliated with any political party. The next presidential elections are scheduled for April 2004. The country has a bicameral parliament consisting of the National People's Assembly (lower house) and the Council of the Nation (upper house). All members of the Assembly are elected by popular vote, while two-thirds of the Council is elected by the local (state) assemblies and the remaining one-third are appointed by the President. Elections were h ... [Read More]

Four journalists were imprisoned for the first time, unlike in previous years when only fines were imposed. The most prominent case was against Mohamed Benchicou, the managing editor of the opposition paper Le Matin and author of a book critical of the president, "Bouteflika--An Algerian Imposter." In February, plainclothes policemen instructed several bookstores not to display Benchicou's book or attempt to sell it; otherwise their copies would be seized. According to the independent press, Minister of the Interior Zerhouni ordered the police to conduct an investigation to determine the publisher of the book and to take all measures to prevent the book from being marketed. Police searched vehicles and the headquarters of Le Matin for copies of the book. Others were detained for questioning by plainclothes policemen in Algiers: Saida Azzouz, a journalist for Le Matin; Ali Dilem, the cartoonist for Liberte; and Hamou L'hadj Azouaou, a chauffeur for Le Matin. While no official reason ... [Read More]
