Hitching Across Algeria.

The author presents description about political and social conditions in Algeria, a north African country. The most vivid impression of Algeria has been barbed wire, bales of barbed wire serving as roadblocks, barbed wire strung around military compounds, cutting off the paths in the parks and running above the hedges of private gardens. After the war with France, its hard to find a city in the country that is not full of soldiers and where there is no curfew. It is being tried to reconstruct the cities and to accelerate the campaign to relocate the peasantry and to place it under close surveillance.
