Algerian Muslim Scouts

Algerian Muslim Scouts (Arabic: الكشافة الاسلامية الجزائرية‎) is the national Scouting association in Algeria. SMA has 24,750 members as of 2011

Scouting in Algeria began formatively around 1911, but Scouting was officially founded in French Algeria in 1935, introduced by Algerian Scouter Mohamed Bouras with a troop in Algiers called the "al Falah". Other sections then united with them: in Miliana the section "Ibn Khaldoun", and others in Constantine, Mostaganem, Blida, Setif, Tizi Ouzou, Batna and Guelma. With the proposal of Mohamed Bouras, the league of the scouts Moslem Algerian was created and obtained the approval of the government of the Popular front in July 1939. 

Encouraged by Oulémas reformists, the movement propagated patriotic ideas, was guided by nationalist chiefs, and carried out many demonstrations, like that of May 8, 1945 during which Bouzid Chaal, a young scout, died. Many scouts then took part in the war of independence, with the call of the moudjahidine.

Algeria became a member of the World Organization of the Scout Movement in 1963.

Visit Tunisia :Caving in Tunisia

Caving in Tunisia is a relatively rare sport in the country. Caving emerged in the late 1970s and includes a limited number of practitioners. Tunisia has a number of sites suitable for the sport.

Cave Mine

The two massive caves Jebel Serj and Jebel Bargou are important places for caving. They culminate respectively 1,309 and (m) 1,268 m and are oriented southwest and northeast. The first of these is composed of two parallel ridges separated by deep notch. All of the backbone is formed by massive Aptian land whose limestone's reef summit are almost all of outcrops. The sides of the djebel are very pronounced, forming a safe fold structure.

The site is interesting, both from the ecological point of view and that of archeology. There are sources emerging in wild vegetation and Roman ruins such as the bridge Sidi Amara.

There are many caves, the most important step is the cave of El Kef Biadh whose access is via a series of wells or galleries, most of which come from mining. The first large room of 1,608 m long and 267 metres deep shelters concretions and huge boulders; its walls are covered with bushes of Eccentric. The hall ends with a diaclases which opens a well. It measures about 150 metres long and 50 metres wide. The vault is located some thirty metres above the ground.

It then goes to the second room that looks much like the previous one with the presence of concretions and basins . This last room is closed on a crack up to two metres above the ground. There is a significant colony of bat. The second room is over 200 meters long and 75 metres wide and has a vault located about forty metres above the ground in places.

Cave Nefza

The cave Nefza is an extension of the mine Ghanguet Kef at Jebel El Damous which peaked at about 202 metres. The latter is formed by land dating from the Cretaceous, the Eocene, and the Oligocene. At these sites are deposits of zinc and lead.

The cavity, with a total length of 310 metres and a height of 60 metres, contains a tectonic accident: its cross section shows a general shape of a triangle with a straight wall western wall and a shaped Eastern staircase reversed. A gallery of thirty metres, covered in concentric circles and ovals, about eight metres above the ground, leads to a first room that leads to two lanes of forty metres in length, at different levels, leading to a large room in which there are two columns of stalagmites. A narrow conduit leads to a third room containing concretions and eccentrics. At this level, progress is blocked by a narrow conduit.

Caves Joumine

The region of Joumine has land dating to the Triassic and Cretaceous. The caves in this area are located more precisely in the region Errouaha.

Access to the cave of El Blida is difficult: it is entered through a narrow conduit that leads to a very small room leading into the main room; the passage between these two rooms is made through a slope of approximately 20°.

Access to the cave of Bou Touil is relatively easy: the entrance is from a fairly broad which leads to narrow corridors on the left side. It leads to a large room with good stalactites and stalagmites and columns. A large, steep (about 45 ° to 50 °) corridor in the back is ended by a narrow passage that stops the progression. This cave has been subject to a thorough study, including petrography and mineralogy analysis performed on many samples.

Cave Ichkeul

The Ichkeul cave is located in the Jebel Ichkeul, located about twenty kilometres from the city of Bizerte in the National Park Ichkeul covering an area of 12,600 hectares including a lake of 8,500 hectares. Limestone, Dolomitic, and marble rocks date from Triassic and Jurassic and are located above a collapsed ditch.

The cave itself has a narrow entrance allowing access to a vast room with large cracks along the length of the walls and showing several cavities. The room is followed by a narrow corridor formed by the wall and giant calcitic concretions, which ends with a stack of 32 metres. On the sides of the second room there are draperies, small stalactites and young stalagmites. The cave is well lit and ventilated, and it has a diverse wildlife, including bats, birds and reptiles.

Visit Tunisia : the Sloughi dog

The Sloughi is a medium-large, short-haired, smooth-coated, athletic sighthound developed in North Africa (in the area including Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya) to hunt game such as hare, fox, jackal, gazelle, and wild pigs. It is an ancient breed, treasured in North Africa for its hunting skills, speed, agility, and endurance over long distances. It is a robust, but elegant and racy, pursuit dog with no exaggeration of length of body or limbs, muscle development, angulation, nor curve of loin. The Sloughi is not a fragile dog, but is also a dog with class and grace. The attitude is noble and somewhat aloof, and the expression of the dark eyes is gentle and melancholy.

Visit Tunisia   : Sympatiqhue animal

 

The fennec (Vulpes zerda) frequent the Saharan regions of southern Tunisia.

The fennec is a small fox that does not exceed 1.5 kg for a length of 35 to 40 cm.  While it has adapted to life in the desert. Its clear coat blends with the color of sand. By its nocturnal lifestyle, avoids hot weather. It is able to survive several days without drinking and also has very hairy soles that allow him to run in soft sand without sinking too deep.But these are the ears that are its better adaptation to the desert. They are 10 to 15 cm long. Horn-shaped, they have a dual purpose.
First, the fennec is able to identify the sound rare prey which he treats as gerbils, birds or sauterelles.D'autre hand, his big ears serve as eliminate excess heat and lower its temperature.

Indeed, the low density of available prey that each fennec has a large area and generally lives away from the other.

The day the fennec shelters big heat in a burrow that can be connected to others by a complex system of tunnels occupied by several individuals.

Fennec is the emblem, in recent years, the Ministry of the Environment and Sustainable Development in Tunisia - Tunisian Labib.

The 1st World Scout Jamboree was held in 1920, and was hosted by the United Kingdom. Since then, there have been twenty World Scout Jamborees, hosted in various countries. There is usually about 4/5 years between World Scout Jamboree events.

Jamboree

In Scouting, a jamboree is a large gathering of Scouts who rally at a national or international level.

There are also national and continental jamborees held around the world with varying frequency. Many of these events will invite and attract Scouts from overseas.

The last Scout Jamboree, hosted in swenden in 2007, and the next will be in japan from July 28 to August 8, 2015

The etymology of this term has several possible origins, ranging from Hindi to Swahili to Native American

Baden-Powell chose the name as rally, meeting and gathering did not fully capture the spirit of this then-new concept. The name is thought to be derived from the swahili for hello, Jambo, as a result of the considerable amount of time he spent in the region. At the first World Jamboree at Olympia in 1920, Lord Baden-Powell said "People give different meanings for this word, but from this year on, Jamboree will take a specific meaning. It will be associated to the largest gathering of youth that ever took place."

Olave, Lady Baden-Powell, coined the term Jamborese to refer to the lingua franca used between Scouts of different languages and cultural habits, that develops when diverse Scouts meet, that fosters friendship and understanding between Scouts of the world. Sometimes the word Jamborette is used to denote smaller, either local or international, gatherings.

The term 'Jamboree' is also commonly used by the Australian Aboriginal Pitjanjarra tribe meaning 'Feast of tree grubs'. 

International jamborees

• World Scout Jamboree, a gathering of Scouts from all over the world.
• World Deaf Scout Jamboree, a gathering of deaf Scouts from all over the world.
• World Scout Jamboree on the Air (JOTA)
• World Scout Jamboree on the Internet (JOTI)
• Jamboree on the Trail (JOTT) is an international day of hiking.
• Pan-American Scout Jamboree, a gathering of Scouts from America
• European Scout Jamboree, a gathering of Scouts from all over Europe

History of Tunisia:Hannibal Barca

Roman sculpture of Hannibal.

Hannibal's elephant troops crossing the Rhone.

Hannibal Barca was born in Carthage in 247 BCE, the son of Carthaginian general Hamilcar Barca and a Spanish wife.  He would come to be known throughout the world as one of the greatest military minds of the Classical Age.  He is featured as the BotW this week to commemorate the fact that my website received it's first hit from the African continent this week and also because I heard that they were going to release a movie next year starring Vin Diesel as Hannibal.  I might as well get him established as a true Classical Age badass before Hollywood starts depicting him running around the desert shooting lasers out of his hands and punching aliens.

Hannibal assumed control of a large Carthaginian army around 216 BCE, as Carthage was reeling from it's defeat in the First Punic War and attempting to accept its place as a declining power in the Mediterranean region.  Hannibal set out to re-establish Carthage by campaigning successfully in the Iberian peninsula, conquering what is present-day Spain and Portugal from the native peoples there.  Hannibal took a Spanish woman to be his wife, but when he had his first child the High Priest of Carthage demanded that he sacrifice the baby to the gods.  Hannibal was like, "Uh... how about I sacrifice thousands of enemy soldiers instead?".  The Carthaginian theocracy determined that would also be acceptable.

So at the age of thirty Hannibal set about trying to start a war with Rome.  He instigated conflict with Roman-governed cities and finally managed to get Rome to declare open war on Carthage when he faxed Xeroxed copies of his bare ass over to the Roman Consuls with a note reading, "kiss this, you Roman bitches".  Hannibal then mobilized his main army in Spain and marched through Gaul, uniting the tribes to his cause.  After sweeping through Gaul Hannibal's army, which contained several squadrons of elephant-riding troops, reached the foothills of the Alps.  In one of the greatest logistical feats ever recorded, Hannibal and his men crossed the Alps and attacked the Roman Republic from the direction that they were least expecting it.  Roman forces had been certain that they were going to be attacked from Sicily or the Mediterranean that they spent their resources fortifying their coastal towns.  Hannibal's invasion of Northern Italy caught everyone by surprise.

Roman forces finally mobilized against Hannibal, but he managed to use his outnumbered and outgunned forces to their utmost potential, winning sweeping battles at Trebia and Lake Trasimene.  The main Roman Army met Hannibal on the field of Cannae in 216 BCE and in one of the most brilliant tactical maneuvers of all time Hannibal managed to use his force of 60,000 to perform a double envelopment on the Roman force of 80,000, sweeping his troops around both flanks of Roman infantry and utterly decimating several Legions.

After Cannae, Hannibal sent a message to Carthage saying, "OK guys, I'm ready to take Rome.  Just send me some more troops".  Carthage responded by saying, "Don't worry about it dude.  You're doing fine.  Just hang in there".  Hannibal ended up roaming around Italy trying to drum up support for his cause for fifteen years;  his force wasn't strong enough to take the city of Rome but no Roman force could defeat him.  Finally the Romans got sick of his bullshit and send their general Scipio to invade Carthage while Hannibal was dicking around in Italy.  Once that happened, the Carthaginians were like, "Oh snap!  Hannibal, come help us!".

Hannibal, sick of his country's bullshit, went home and his tired and demoralized troops got their asses kicked by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama in 202 BCE.  Rome burned the city of Carthage to the ground, pissed on the ashes and salted the Earth so that nothing would ever grow there again.  Hannibal was appointed Magistrate of the Carthaginian territories, but eventually the Romans came to fear his influence, so he was exiled to Ephesus.  Soon the Romans issued a warrant for his arrest, so Hannibal popped open his special poison ring and ended his life in 182 BCE.  He was the biggest threat the Roman Republic ever knew and was hatefully remembered in the annals of Latin history.  He was a brilliant tactician, a master of logistics and one of the greatest military minds that the world has ever seen.  If he had only received more support from his country, the history of the world would have been completely reshaped.

Visit Tunisia: Foot ball Club

The Etoile Sportive du Sahel (ESS) (Arabic: النـجـم الرياضي الساحلي‎, often referred to as Etoile du Sahel, Arabic: النـجـم الساحلي‎) is a sports club from Sousse in the Sahel region of Tunisia, known primarily for its football team. The club also has sections for handball, volleyball, basketball, judo and wrestling. In English the name means Sport (or Athletic) Star of the Sahel.
Étoile is one of the  clubs in the world  to have won all continental club competitions organized by their respective confederation and the only one to have won all African competitions.


The club was founded during a public meeting at the French-Arabic school on Laroussi Zarrouk Street, in Sousse. Chedli Boujemla was elected as the first chairman of the multi-sport club. La Soussienne and La Musulmane ("The Muslim") were rejected as club names in favor of L'Étoile Sportive. Club members eventually settled on L'Étoile Sportive du Sahel to reflect the goal of representing a broader region than Sousse alone. The Protectorate administration officially recognized the club on July 17, 1925. In March 1926, Ali Larbi became chairman of the soccer section of the club, which entered the Fédération Tunisienne de Football.
L'Étoile became the Islamic club in Sousse. Tunisia also had the French Patriote de Sousse club, the Jewish Maccabi club, the Italian La Savoia club and the Maltese Red Star club: Though communitarian football had been banned officially since 1919 in Tunisia.
ESS's first major honour was the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1 title in 1950, but they had to wait 8 years to pick it up again. They won their first Tunisian President Cup in 1959, and completed a league and cup double in 1963.

In 1995 Etoile won their first continental trophy, winning the CAF Cup. 2 years later in 1997 they completed a league and African Cup Winners Cup double, and they continued to impress on the continental stage - they won the African Super Cup in 1998 and the CAF Cup (for the 2nd time) in 1999. But Sahel's problem was that they struggled domestically - a perfect example was when they won the league in 1987 and failed to win it again until 10 years later.


It was exactly the same in 1997. They won the African Cup Winners Cup (for the 2nd time) in 2003, and made it to their 1st ever African Champions League final a year later, but lost to Nigerian outfit Enyimba on penalties. ESS lost in the final of the same competition the following season, being defeated by Egyptian giants Al-Ahly 3-0 over 2 legs. Although, they did have some success that year - winning the Tunisian League Cup for the first time in their history. In 2006 Etoile won the CAF Confederation Cup for the first time, but continued to struggle in the league. But the 2006-2007 season proved to be possibly the greatest season in the club's history - they won the CLP 1 title and the African Champions League title (for the first time). The final of the Champions League that year was a memorable one, as ESS played Al-Ahly in a repeat of the 2005 final. The first leg finished 0-0 in Sousse, and with ESS huge underdogs, they won 3-1 in Egypt to take the trophy.

In Mars 2007 the club particpate at The 2007 FIFA Club World Cup and win his first match against the maxican club Patchuca.

Visit Tunisia  : famous films

Star Wars location spotting in Tunisia

When you say Star Wars, most people think of galaxies far far away. But all these exotic planets from the movies were filmed on earth. Four of the Star Wars movies were partially filmed in southern Tunisia (the planet Tatooine in the movies) and the good thing is that many of the locations are still in relative good state.
You can stay in Luke Skywalker's home (now a hotel) and wander around the desert bumping into moisture vaporators and other Star Wars stuff around the Mos Espa set.
Because Star wars is not well known in Tunisia, this article will introduce you to some famous locations from the movies and show you how to get there. So when you go on vacation to Tunisia, check out some of the locations over there. Sometimes you’ll think you are on Tatooine instead of Tunisia.

Djerba

Djerba is a Tunisian island. It's well known for its resorts and beach vacations. Two movie locations can be found on the western side of the island. Ben's hermitage and Toshi Station.
Ben’s hermitage

This little house is actually used by fishermen as a storage. In Episode IV it can be seen as the house of Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Ben’s hermitage

Toshi Station

Sidi Jemour is a temple, located some miles north of Ben’s house. It was seen in the movie as Toshi Station in Anchorhead, in a shot where the landspeeder rushes into Anchorhead on its way to Mos Eisley.

Toshi Station in Anchorhead

Tozeur

Tozeur is an oasis and a city in south west Tunisia. The city is located North West of Chott el-Djerid, in between this Chott and the smaller Chott el-Gharsa. With hundreds of thousands of palm trees, Tozeur is a large oasis. The dates that are exported from Tozeur are well known. From Tozeur you can make trips on a camel, explore the Sahara and get to know the Chott el-Djerid, where you can see fata Morgana's. Furthermore Tozeur is the place to be for Star Wars fans, because there are lots of movie locations around the city: the Lars Homestead exterior, the Mos Espa set, the Sith infiltrator landing site and Star wars canyon.
Lars Homestead Exterior

Luke's home is located 35km out of Tozeur at Chott El Jerid. Chott El Jerid is part of the vast dry salt lake flats that cover 5,000 sq km on the West side of central/southern Tunisia near Algeria. The little igloo is standing here in the middle of nowhere. Because the Lars Homestead interior scenes were shot somewhere else, the crew had to dig some craters next to it, to make you believe there's actually an underground structure in the movie.

Lars Homestead exterior

The igloo was taken apart after the shooting of the first trilogy but was rebuilt for Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. Some memorable scenes were shot here, including Shmi Skywalker's funeral in Attack of the Clones, and the final shot of Revenge of the Sith. It's a good idea to visit this location near the evening. When the sun sets in the middle of the desert and with the little igloo as the only structure nearby, you'll get a spectacular view.

Lars Homestead exterior sunset

Mos Espa

This set was built from nothing in the middle of the desert, and still stands. This is not a typical studio tour. Most Tunisians haven't even seen the Star War's movies, but they recognize that there's more value in just leaving the props alone and keep them in good state, than removing them.

The Mos Espa set

You can see the whole town: the gates of Mos Espa; the Pod-racing arena; the gallery and the Mos Espa streets with Watto''s shop, the market and Sebulba's Café. Get there early in the morning and you could have the place to yourself.

The Mos Espa set

A few hundred meters away from the set you'll find the Yardangs: protruding bits of sandstone that look like shark fins peeping out of the desert. The Jedi duel between Qui-Gonn and Darth Maul in Episode I was shot here.

Yardangs

Sith infiltrator landing site (Oung Jmel)

About 6km East of the Mos Espa set lies Oung Jmel, better known as the camel head rock. This was the site were Darth Maul arrived on Tatooine and released the Sith Probes to search for Queen Amidala’s ship. The same location was used for Maul flying over the cliffs after having found Anakin and Qui-Gon.

Sith infiltrator landing site 

Juntland Wastes

23km North-East of Tozeur you can find Sidi Bouhel, better known as the Juntland Wastes in the movies. This canyon was used in 1976 for no less than 9 shots. Lucasfilm named it "Star Wars Canyon". Also the canyon was used in Raiders of the Lost Ark and in The English Patient.

Star Wars Canyon

In front of the canyon entrance, you'll see the Sandcrawler parking lot. The inside is a narrow gorge walled by two hundred foot high cliffs and a wide, flat wadi that runs from Jebel Krefane down to the chott. In the gorge Luke was being attacked by Tusken Raiders, and met Obi-Wan Kenobi for the first time. Just outside the mouth of the gorge Imperial Stormtroopers attacked and massacred the Jawas who sold the droids on to Uncle Owen.

Jawa Rock in Star Wars Canyon

Tataouine

Ksar ouled soltane

Our next destination is Tataouine, located in the south of Medenine. The planet Tatooine got its name from this town, and that's about the town's only contribution to the movie. Most of the scenes were shot in the hills and villages surrounding the town. A little further south is located Ksar Ouled Soltane a beautyful ghorfa (grain storage facility) that was used to as a background for some of the Slave Quarters shots in Episode I.

Ksar Ouled Soltane

Medenine

Anakin Skywalker's home

Medenine is the major town in southeastern Tunisia. The main attraction in Medenine is Ksar Medenine, an ancient Berber fortified granary. North of Ksar Medenine is the granary that acted as the slave quarters in Episode I. It was used as the exterior the Anakin Skywalker's home in many shots.

Skywalker Alley

Matmata

Lars homestead interior

In Matmata you can actually sleep in Luke's home. The Hotel Sidi Driss served as the interior of the Lars homestead. Aunt Beru's kitchen is still there, but except for some fiberglass and wooden frames, and the fresco on the dining room ceiling, you won't find any props. Even so, it is easy to get excited when sitting in the very same dining room that the Lars family used. The hotel also has a well stocked bar with lots of Star Wars memorabilia and a Star wars inspired menu.

Tunisia

Not only the Star Wars sites are worth a visit. Tunisia has lots of other things to offer. When you like to travel and want to see different desert landscapes, just rent a car and off you go.
