The New Algiers AirPort.

[Lotfi_dk]

A much delayed new international airport serving Algeria's capital will open in January 2006, a minister said to meet rising traffic as the North African country emerges from over a decade of violence.
"All measures will be taken to have construction completed by June 2005 and for us to be able to transfer all operations to the new terminal in the second half of 2005," Transport Minister Mohamed Maghlaoui told state radio.
"There are no major problems on the ground," Maghlaoui said while visiting the new terminal on the outskirts of Algiers.
2 years ago Air France returned to Algeria after an absence of almost a decade and last year British Airways began flying to Algiers as violence falls and foreign investment returns to the oil and gas rich country.
The project to expand the Houari Boumediene Airport has been delayed year after year due to mismanagement and the authorities' war on rebels fighting for a hard-line Islamic state.
State-owned national airline Air Algerie is spending hundreds of millions of euros on upgrading its ageing fleet.
The new airport will house both the domestic and international terminals and will be located next to ageing airport used at present.

a few from the top

Indeed, taking into account the economic opening of the country on the international market as well as increasing traffic, the need for equipping as soon as possible, the capital of an International airport which answers the standards and standing required of a building of such a class became irrevocable. With this intention, the Establishment of Management of Airport Services of Algiers was delegated for the control of work of this ambitious program.

wishful thinking
i don't seem to sound like a pesimist
but we haven't been exactly improving our social status in Algeria.
I can't remember which country it was i was watching on television it was a African black country (no racial attachements) and they had spas saunas gyms hotels that looked like they were in the Emirates!
where are we heading?!
Incha Allah if we can pay off all the debts that we owe from borrowing...we'll be okay, although no locals see any of the money that Algeria gets for it's petrol

Algerians only pay %60 of there gas and electricity bills and who pays the other 40%? The money from Oil. Living stranded in Algeria has improved.
The percentage of unemployment in Algeria has dropped from 26% 6 years ago to only 14% (10% in France)….
And since we got our independent Algeria has never been as Rich as today, and Algeria is not controlled by generals anymore. Well at least Oil money is still there and even if you think that we didn’t benefit from it, well at least its there And the economy is moving but slowly...

And paying off the debts that we owe from borrowing is only a matter of time, as you can’t pay it all at once but we got the money and we are paying it off I think it dropped from $40billion to $23billion in 4 years.i I don’t know where it reached now As I don’t have the correct information its just what I can remember.

~Algerians only pay %60 of there gas and electricity bills~
I don't know about you but I believe this is actually quiet alot for Most Algerians to pay this form of money! we are still a 3rd world country, We are from a very beautiful country which has yet to be re-discovered, But the Asians are doing a pretty damn good job in building and enhansing Algeria
The Emiraties are buying property in Algeria, for example where I live they've made a Huge shopping mall which is due to open by the end of the year Incha Allah just looking at it is about 30 floors..
As you said we are moving slowly
But we still need to have subsequent benifits and aid for poorer people and this is were i feel we are lacking.
can you please let me know where you got your statistics from and who they are acutally run by?
