The district chief, like the wilaya chief, is an unelected political position. Algeria's districts were created as ''arrondissements'' when Algeria was a colony of France and they had a status equal to those of mainland France. They were, like France's arrondissements, part of '' départem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
