Etymology

The Place des Martyrs metro station is also, in the opinion of specialists, an important step in the implementation of preventive archeology that has combined archaeological heritage and land use planning as part of the efforts to make from the capital a modern city. it is historic because of its location in the area of the ancient city of Ikosim which contains a rich archaeological heritage. [1]

With an area of 8,000 m2, the Place des Martyrs was, before the advent of colonialism, a political and commercial center: hence the archaeological discoveries gradually brought to light. these are archaeological remains scattered over some 1,500 m2 and four (4) strata representing different periods of the history of the city of Algiers. the visitor can see today at the Place des Martyrs the emerging part of these excavations, in this case an Ottoman city on an area of 750 m2, while other vestiges remain buried pending an appropriate development.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">2010–2012 Algerian protests</span>

The 2010–2012 Algerian protests were a series of protests taking place throughout Algeria, lasting from 28 December 2010 to early 2012. The protests had been inspired by similar protests across the Middle East and North Africa. Causes cited by the protesters included unemployment, the lack of housing, food-price inflation, corruption, restrictions on freedom of speech and poor living conditions. While localized protests were already commonplace over previous years, extending into December 2010, an unprecedented wave of simultaneous protests and riots, sparked by sudden rises in staple food prices, erupted all over the country starting in January 2011. These were quelled by government measures to lower food prices, but were followed by a wave of self-immolations, most of them in front of government buildings. Opposition parties, unions, and human rights organisations then began to hold weekly demonstrations, despite these being illegal without government permission under the ongoing state of emergency; the government suppressed these demonstrations as far as possible, but in late February yielded to pressure and lifted the state of emergency. Meanwhile, protests by unemployed youth, typically citing unemployment, hogra (oppression), and infrastructure problems, resumed, occurring almost daily in towns scattered all over the country.

They refuse any public appearance and any media interview. They wish to remain anonymous, as they only sing for their club USM Alger. With the advent of Groupe SERPORT, the group suffered from legal prosecutions from people from the company's surroundings because of their criticism of the management method, and it increased because of the stadium issue, where Ouled EL Bahdja insisted on returning to its stronghold, the Omar Hamadi Stadium.
