Labels:text | font | screenshot | document | black and white OCR: Algeria's population is predominantly Arab, under 30 years of age and urban; about 20% are Berber. More than 85% speak Arabic, the official language, and 99% are Sunni Muslim. Of the million or so French who settled in Algeria before independence, only about 6,000 remain. Most Berbers consider the mountainous Kabylia region their homeland. If the struggle between Islamic fundamentalists and the government intensifies, Kabylia may seek independence. As in the rest of North Africa, the mosque is an important provider of social and medical services.
