Judging by the headline in Liberté, this
might not be the best day for our visit to
the casbah. 'Algérie en Colère!' it screams
- 'Algeria in Anger!' - but for once it isn't
a massacre or another killing that's
responsible. The anger this time is directed
at the inadequacy of public services, and
especially the water supply, which has
remained unchanged since the French left.
After another long dry summer, water in some
areas is now rationed to one day in five, and
there are reports of a typhoid outbreak in
the poorer parts of the city. We're told on
no account to drink tap water.
Before entering the casbah we rendezvous with
the local police outside the white walls of
the Barberousse prison, named after the
Barbarossa brothers, two Turkish corsairs
brought in by the ruler of Algiers to fight
off Spanish invaders in the sixteenth
century. It stands at the top of the hill
looking balefully out over the narrow,
crowded roofs of the casbah. Because of the
heightened security and the momentousness of
our visit (the first foreign film crew to be
allowed in for several years), we're all a
touch jumpy, and when, with a sudden blaring
of horns, a convoy of cars bursts round the
corner, we instinctively rush for cover. Much
mirth on the part of the security men, as it
turns out to be nothing more than a wedding
procession, in the middle of which is a
portable band - six musicians in fezzes,
white cotton tunics and red waistcoats,
sitting in the back of a pick-up truck. With
a salvo of car horns they move past down the
road.As we near the main road at the lower
end of the casbah there is a milling throng.
Eamonn walks beside me, casting wary looks,
but everyone seems to be either friendly or
preoccupied.
I feel that we have barely touched the real
world of the casbah, which, as in all Arab
communities, is private and inward-looking,
so Said takes me round to the shrine of Sidi
Abderrahmane, a holy man of great powers who
lived here in the sixteenth century. The
sound of female voices rises from inside as
we approach the domed building surmounted by
a tall balconied minaret.
This is traditionally a place for the women
to come and invoke the help of the saint in
childbirth or with problems of infertility,
but the imam is happy for us to join them.
Remove my shoes and enter in reverent
silence. I needn't have bothered. The small
chamber is less like an English parish church
than a kindergarten at collection time. Small
children sit and play as their mothers
worship in their own way. Nothing is formal.
One woman hugs the side of the tomb, singing
plaintively, another bows to Mecca, another
has brought her new-born baby to touch the
wooden casket that contains the saint's
remains. It's the first place, she declares
proudly, that he's ever been taken to.
Brightly coloured texts run round the walls,
heavy cut-glass lamps hang, undusted, from
the ceiling, and in one corner is a
heavy-duty industrial safe, with a slit for
offerings.
By now I've completely forgotten that I might
be a target. The cordon sanitaire has been
discreet to the point of invisibility and the
people of Algiers as cordial and curious as
anywhere in ALGERIA. Michael PALIN

Algiers (Arabic: الجزائر, Standard
Arabic: Al Jaza'ir IPA: [ɛlʤɛˈzɛːʔir],
Algerian Arabic: Dzayer ([dzæjer] (From
Berber pronunciation), [[Berber languages|of
the largest in the Maghreb[1] (behind
Casablanca).
Nicknamed El-Bahdja (البهجة) or Alger
la Blanche ("Algiers the White") for the
glistening white of its buildings as seen
rising up from the sea, it is situated on the
west side of a bay of the Mediterranean Sea.
The city name is derived from the Arabic word
al-jazā'ir, which translates as the islands,
referring to the four islands which lay off
the city's coast until becoming part of the
mainland in 1525. Al-jazā'ir is itself a
truncated form of the city's older name
jazā'ir banī mazghannā, "the islands of
(the tribe) Bani Mazghanna", used by early
medieval geographers such as al-Idrisi and
Yaqut al-Hamawi. Algiers is the only Algerian
city with an English name different from its
French name.
The modern part of the city is built on the
level ground by the seashore and the old
part, the ancient city of the deys, climbs
the steep hill behind the modern town and is
crowned by the casbah or citadel, 400 feet
(122 m) above the sea. The casbah and the two
quays form a triangle.
commercial outpost called Ikosim, later
developed into a small Roman town called
Icosium, existed on what is now the marine
quarter of the city. The rue de la Marine
follows the lines of a Roman street. Roman
cemeteries existed near Bab-el-Oued and Bab
Azoun. The city was given Latin rights by
Vespasian. The bishops of Icosium are
mentioned as late as the 5th century.

The present city was founded in 944 by
Buluggin ibn Ziri, the founder of the Berber
Zirid-Senhaja dynasty, which was overthrown
by Roger II of Sicily in 1148. The Zirids had
before that date lost Algiers, which in 1159
was occupied by the Almohades, and in the
13th century came under the dominion of the
Abd-el-Wadid sultans of Tlemcen.
Nominally part of the sultanate of Tlemcen,
Algiers had a large measure of independence
under amirs of its own, Oran being the chief
seaport of the Abd-el-Wahid. The islet in
front of the harbour, subsequently known as
the Penon, had been occupied by the Spaniards
as early as 1302. Thereafter, a considerable
trade grew up between Algiers and Spain.
Algiers from this time became the chief seat
of the Barbary pirates. In October 1541, the
king of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor Charles
V sought to capture the city, but a storm
destroyed a great number of his ships, and
his army of some 30,000, chiefly Spaniards,
was defeated by the Algerians under their
Pasha, Hassan. From the 17th century,
Algiers, by then only formally part of the
Ottoman Empire but essentially free of
Ottoman control, sited on the periphery of
both the Ottoman and European economic
spheres, and depending for its existence on a
Mediterranean that was increasingly
controlled by European shipping, backed by
European navies, turned to piracy and
ransoming. Repeated attempts were made by
various nations to subdue the pirates that
disturbed shipping in the western
Mediterranean and engaged in slave raids as
far north as Cornwall. The United States
fought two wars (the First and Second Barbary
Wars) over Algiers' attacks on shipping.
In 1816, the city was bombarded by a British
squadron under Lord Exmouth (a descendant of
Thomas Pellew, taken in an Algerian slave
raid in 1715), assisted by Dutch men-of-war,
and the corsair fleet burned. The history of
Algiers from 1830 to 1962 is bound to the
larger history of Algeria and its
relationship to France. On July 4, 1827, on
the pretext of an affront to the French
consul — whom the dey had hit with a
fly-whisk when he said the French government
was not prepared to pay its large outstanding
debts to two Algerian Jewish merchants — a
French army under General de Bourmont
attacked the city, which capitulated the
following day. Algiers became a French
colony.
In 1962, after a bloody independence struggle
in which up to 1.5 million Algerians died at
the hands of the French Army and the Algerian
Front de Libération Nationale, Algeria
finally gained its independence, with Algiers
as its capital. Since then, despite losing
its entire European or pied-noir population,
the city has expanded massively. It now has
about 3 million inhabitants, or 10 percent of
Algeria's population — and its suburbs now
cover most of the surrounding Metidja plain.
Having hosted the All-Africa Games in 1978,
Algiers will again host the games in 2007.
Algiers is also the "Capital of Arabic
Culture" for 2007.
In August 2007, The Economist magazine ranked
Algiers as the least livable city in a survey
of 132 cities.
