ALGERIA-UNREST-SOCIAL

Algerian men from the Mozabites community, a Berber minority group which adheres to the Ibadi faith, an offshoot of Shiite Islam, sit near closed shops (unseen) on January 27, 2014 in the flashpoint desert oasis town of Ghardaia, 600 kilometres (400 miles) south of Algiers, following weeks of heightened tensions between rival communities. In recent years, there have been numerous outbreaks of sectarian violence between the Chaamba community of Arab origin and the Mozabites. Resentment runs high in the region over the lack of opportunity despite its vast energy riches, with stability further undermined by illegal drug trafficking and the threat from Islamist militants.
