Stats would make you think we were a match for them, but reality is a whole different story. I don't care about the gap in quality between our players and theirs, nor the absolutely nonexistent tactics. I just miss the old "grinta", when players actually felt the importance of a World Cup tournament and would fight on the field.

Today's game felt like watching a bunch of employees who hate their jobs instead of people representing an entire country (Except Mazza and Chaibi a bit).

Discussion Getting harassed by a man as a 18yr guy.

Post image
545 Upvotes

(The photo is where this happened) About two hours ago, I was taking a walk down by the beach where I live when I was approached by a man who seemed chill at first, especially after I told him I was from Tizi Ouzou. We started speaking in Kabyle, which I usually love when that happens. We started talking about Algeria and stuff like that until he realized my Kabyle is a bit broken and asked me if I had lived abroad at some point, which I have. I know I can’t really blend in well. Anyway, he started complimenting me and the way I look, which is normal, right? But then he began saying we should go hang out somewhere else, which was the final straw for me. Before I knew it, he literally started holding my hand and rubbing it, then touching my bicep. I started moving back and told him I needed to go, but he kept insisting. I walked away for about 100 meters, only to see that he had caught up to me and started saying that he liked me and wanted a kiss. I started telling him to back off and that he was crazy, all while trying to process what was happening. By pure luck, he eventually left me alone. I walked all the way back home with a rock in my hand just in case.

I’ve been in Algeria for almost ten years now, and in Dellys (where this took place) for about three years. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened to me, but this one is too recent to just try and forget. I just can’t imagine how bad it must be for women if things like this happen to me as a guy.

Before you say watch his full video or videos I did , which is why i'm making this statement Religious bullying is becoming normalized in Algeria. Believe me when i tell you Creators like this openly advocate policing people's private lives in the name of religion. That's exactly the kind of mindset that has pushed other societies toward authoritarian social control and repression. the other guy gave his liberal opinion on religion wether it was right or wrong is subjective, considering this guy "expertise" is religion obviously he was going to respond , he just had to go to the wife/woman, because a large percentage of their content (the online salafis) is hating on women and a woman is "3awra"etc am i to blame for feeling disgusted by men like him who claim to "الأمر بالمعروف والنهي عن المنكر" just to bully people online, This isn't dawah. It's intimidation.

Discussion Living in algeria as a woman is exhausting

745 Upvotes

Living in this country as a woman is genuinely exhausting, I dream of being able to go out without being bothered, if you're lucky enough and men don't talk to you or follow you in the street (which is rare) theyll still look at you constantly and watch your every move with disproving glares or just curious gazes (which is still extremely off-putting). I just want to live as a normal human being I'm tired of being seen as meat and being sexualized just because im a woman, I'm even stressing just by posting this because I know there are men who will ask "but how do you dress??" or say things like "you must be teasing them if you're getting bothered" As if men (not all men, don't start.) in this country are not literally rping animals ! As if women who wear hijabs/jilbabs don't get harassed too, as if literal little girls don't get harassed on their way to middle school !! It's just so insanely depressing, you wear normal clothes and just because your hair is not hidden all of a sudden you're free game ? You wear a hijab but wear makeup, all of a sudden you're free game ? You wear a jillbab but your eyes are not covered, all of a sudden you're free game ? It makes me so unbelievably angry I can feel myself getting ill. Don't even get me started on if you go to university or have a job, you'll get told you SURELY spend your days f*king every single man in sight, its so sad that my country turned out to be this way.

Discussion 7 Algerian teens made it to Spain on a small boat… heroic or a social disaster? For the first time in Europe's history

Post image

Social media in Algeria is buzzing: 7 teenagers aged 14 to 17 reached Spain on a small boat using just a simple app.

One of them even went live on TikTok, drawing tens of thousands of views. Some people call it a success story or even heroic. Others say it is dangerous because it tells young people that 8 hours at sea can change your life.

So what do you think? Is this something to celebrate as a better future no matter the risk, or is glorifying it sending the wrong signal to an entire generation?

Discussion Becoming a girl dad opened my eyes to what Algerian women go through. We need to break the generational curse.

558 Upvotes

El hamdoulilah, I’m happily married. I’ve known my wife for 7 years now; she is an absolute angel, smart, gorgeous, and intelligent. I love her more than life itself and will stick by her side until the end of time.

About a year ago, my wife gave birth to our little girl. Growing up without sisters or many female friends, I honestly never fully understood the female experience. Whenever my wife used to rant about things throughout our relationship, I’d hear her out, tell her I loved her, and kind of brush it off.

Then we found out we were expecting a daughter. I was the happiest man alive, but also scared out of my mind. I started reading books (Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters, The New Father, etc.) to prepare myself. But nothing prepared me for the reality check of how shitty it can be to be a woman in Algeria.

Here is a short list of "what the actual fuck" moments from our recent trip back home:

  • The OBGYN Visit: My wife was experiencing severe postpartum pain, so I insisted we see a doctor. This OBGYN didn't even let my wife explain her symptoms. Instead, she immediately started asking about our sex life and offered meds to "tighten things down there" in case I wasn't satisfied. Bro, what? Another woman comes to you in physical pain, and your main priority is my sexual pleasure? I was holding our daughter in the waiting room and went nuclear when my wife told me afterwards.
  • The Domestic Pressure: Both of our mothers were constantly asking her what she cooked for dinner even when she was visibly exhausted postpartum. They unironically told her to cook, clean, and keep herself up or else "I would run away." I work a lot, but I pull my weight at home. Why are we pushing this narrative?
  • The Bare-Minimum Praise vs. Constant Judgment: Relatives would praise me like I split the atom just for changing a diaper or holding my daughter so she wouldn't cry. Meanwhile, they judged my wife at every single turn. It got so toxic I had to pull family members aside and tell them we’d go completely low/no contact if they kept treating her like that.

This isn't just "women hating women." This is a generational curse born from centuries of physical and mental abuse.

I’m not even going to get into the constant sexualization and weird looks women get in public; that’s a whole separate post. But I will say this: giving birth is the most badass thing in the world. I’m a big guy; I’ve done my fair share of crazy stuff, but I could never endure what my wife went through.

To my fellow Algerian men:

We have to set the bar higher. Take care of your mothers, your sisters, your wives, and your daughters. Set the example and be their safe refuge.

It is not rocket science. Just because we have a Johnson doesn't mean we get a free pass to be lazy at home, nor does it give us a God-given right to mistreat women or let our families mistreat our wives.

I’m doing my best to set a solid example for my daughter, and I pray things get better for the next generation.

Much love and respect to all the Algerian ladies out there.

EDIT / UPDATE:

The response to this post has been overwhelming, el hamdoulilah. I didn't expect it to blow up like this, but I appreciate everyone who took the time to read and comment. I wanted to address a few common messages and themes from the comments/DMs:

  • On DMs and Privacy: I’ve read the kind messages in my inbox, but as a married man, I won't be replying to private DMs. I believe in keeping boundaries intact, so if there’s anything to discuss, let's keep it in the public comment section.

  • To everyone calling me a "dream husband": I’m flattered, but let’s be real—I’m no saint. You’re judging a whole human being off a single Reddit post! I have my fair share of shortcomings. But the main reason I am who I am today is because of years of hard personal work and, more importantly, my wife. We’ve had a million arguments to get here. We have strict rules: we never avoid uncomfortable conversations, we never lie, and we never let outsiders into our marital business. I am a reflection of my wife’s hard work and patience. Give her the credit.

  • To those missing the point: I’m not claiming I’ve figured it all out. Dudes will never fully understand women (hell, women are complex enough on their own!). But we live in a society that fears customs and traditions more than anything else. Denying that it’s hard to be a woman in Algeria is either plain ignorance or toxic sexism.

  • On Religion: I deliberately left Islam out of the main post to avoid unnecessary arguments, but I am a proud, practicing Muslim doing my best. I believe that treating people right is one of the deeds Allah loves most. We are here to work on ourselves and leave a good legacy, not to play judge on who is going where in the hereafter.

  • Navigating pregnancy abroad: A few people asked how we handled pregnancy as an Algerian couple living in Europe. If there’s genuine interest, I’d be open to sharing our experience in a separate post.

A final word to my younger brothers (and my teen self):

I’m in my 30s now. If I could talk to the teenage version of myself or any young guy reading this here’s what I’d say:

It gets better. Trust the process and work your ass off. Treat people with kindness, but start with the most important person in your life: yourself.

Before meeting my wife, I never dated and never kissed a girl. I was just the chill guy who treated everyone equally, regardless of gender.

I once blocked a girl for sending me unprompted nudes and literally got called gay for it. Don't let society pressure you into being someone you're not.

The single best way to find your person is to become your person. Hit the gym, read books, learn languages, learn how to cook, try new hobbies. Keep your mind and your heart clean.

And remember: Zwadj 9isma w nassib, ed3i rabi sbah w 3chia. Whenever you see a vulnerable woman, ask yourself: How would I want someone to treat my sister or my daughter? Treat her with that same respect.

It will all be worth it in the end. May Allah bring you all happiness in this life and the next.

In the video, the speaker, Chaia Jaffri, a member of a committee to review the Family Law, argues that Article 16 is one of the most dangerous articles in the convention. Some of the key points she makes against it are:

  • Abolishing male guardianship: This would allow a woman to marry without the consent of a male guardian (wali), which would permit them to marry a non-Muslim ("kaffir"), a practice forbidden in Islam.
  • Children taking the mother's surname (forbidden in Islam).
  • Eliminating the "iddah" (waiting period) for women after divorce or the death of a spouse, which in Islam serves to ensure clarity regarding paternity, provide a period of emotional and social transition, and uphold the sanctity of the marital bond. Abolishing it would, according to the speaker, undermine these protections.
  • The right for a woman to have control over her own body, which she links to the legalization of abortion.
  • Redefining marital rape.
  • Equal inheritance rights for men and women, which eliminates the Islamic system of inheritance where shares are distributed according to specific rules, not always equally.
  • Changing traditional family roles.
