History |
While Algeria was a
French territory until 1962, the The Inner Wheel clubs in
Algeria are all under the administration of the "Association des
Clubs Inner Wheel de France Andorre, Maroc, Algerie, Tunisie"
(FAMAT). While French may not be an official language,
Algeria is the second largest French speaking country in the
world. |
