I Am Algerian

People have funny ideas about my country. They think it’s like Iran. But it so isn’t! It’s so lovely. And we live in Africa. But we have snow in winter. A lot where I live! And we have school and college.

I am Algerian too, Tlemcenian by birth and heritage and Amazigh. My father's tribe is partly Touareg.

The country has a long way to go in terms of civil rights though.

Mar7ba bik hna ^^. Nti mfayan?

@Miram I actually know exactly where Tlemcen is from playing a game lol
A very old place as well :)

@Axelerator Is it a game where you have to name kingdoms? And pick scenarios that set an unpredictable chain of events? Like the king cheating on the queen..

I think someone told me about it. 😧

@Miram No it's a bit hard to explain. Basically you can pick any country in thr world and play through history, having to deal with all sorts of stuff. Anything from warfare to diplomacy to resources and trade and religion to name a couple. It's a thinking persons game, and incredibly fun if you like that sort of thing.
Anyway i was playing as Tlemcen in between early 1500's to about 1800 in a recent playthrough, it was challenging but fun. :)

@Axelerator Zayyanid Kingdom and the Turks later. Cool

@Miram Well done. And yes normally, but given that i could affect the game a lot by my decisions Tlemcen was still proudly independent by the end of it, instead having been allied with the Turks for centuries.
