Sheeps of Algeria

Date of Issue : 16 November 2011

The Algerian Post has issued a set of two stamps illustrating the
widespread breeds of sheep in Algeria: Ouled-Djellal and Hamra.

The "Ouled-Djellal" sheep composes the largest ethnic group of
Algerian sheep, occupying most of the country with the exception of some areas in the southwest and southeast. This is the true sheep of the steppe, the most suitable to nomadism. This is an all-white sheep. Wool covers the entire body to the knees and hocks, his head is white with spiral horns. Their long and strong legs support walking for long distances. This is a breed resistant to arid zones; it uses very different highland pastures of the steppe and rangeland of Sahara.

The "Hamra" breed is a dark-skinned animal with black mucous membrane. Its head and legs are brown red, almost black. The wool is white with brown red. The sheep has medium spiral horns. The range of this race is located in the southwest, it is found also in the foothills of the Saharan Atlas. It is considered the best beef breed in Algeria because of the delicacy of its meat and the roundness of its lines. This is a breed highly resistant to cold and icy winds from the steppes of Oran.

50th Anniversary of the Agency Algeria Press Service

Date of Issue : 25 October 2011

Algérie Presse Service is the Algerian national press agency. It was created on 1 December 1961 in Tunis, during the national liberation war to be the flagship of the Algerian Revolution on the global media scene. After independence, its headquarters was naturally transferred to Algiers.

APS counts a staff of nearly 460 employees including 300 reporters, photographers and translators. It produces about 600 news dispatches daily in three languages (Arabic, French and English). It uses satellite links via three satellites and also a website dedicated to information and photos.

It is really very interesting to note that there is a mistake in the logo of APS at both the stamp and the FDC cover. There is a point missing in one arabic character of the APS logo. You may see the correct version of APS logo at their facebook website at : http://www.facebook.com/pages/ALGERIE-PRESSE-SERVICE/271928862821326. Thank You so much to my Algerian friend !
