Just like I bet you didn't know about this: LINK
The cycle of deadly violence and atrocities that gripped Algeria for more than a decade is at the heart of a referendum Thursday that asks: Is it time to forgive and move on?
President Abdelaziz Bouteflika says his Charter for Peace and National Reconciliation is aimed at closing the wounds of the battle between Islamic extremists and security forces that left an estimated 120,000 people dead and thousands missing.
The large turn out and high percentage of yes votes makes one suspicious....but the civil war in Algeria is merely a looking glass into an ongoing struggle between tyranny vs religious fanatics...
