Ghardaia on knife's edge
[MAGHAREBIA] Ghardaia is a scene of destruction and desolation, a fortnight after new ethnic festivities killed three people, injured more than 100 and left the streets in ruins.A fragile calm has settled on the Saharan city, located 600 kilometres south of Algiers, but it can barely conceal the after-effects of a week of carnage. The Mozabite and Ibadite communities blame each other for the latest outbreak of violence. Algerian troops hold the peace and residents navigate a city filled with rubble.
