...lately Algeria has borrowed to the point that even interest payments on its $6 billion debt are a concern. Too many of the new industries require only a small labor force, providing little help for unemployed young Algerians. Agriculture is inefficient. Boumedienne also involved the country in a fractious feud with Morocco and Mauritania over the future of the former Spanish Sahara...
...feud between Galante and Dellacroce turned bloody, more than a score of their soldiers were slain.

In the wake of the left's stunning defeat and as the feud between Communists and Socialists enters its second year, the festivities this year seemed in large part an attempt at putting on a cheerful front...
