Dear all,

We are pleased to announce the recognition [1] of the third Wikimedia User Group from the Arab World and the fifth from Africa: Algeria Wikimedians User Group.

Our Wikimedian brothers and sisters in Algeria have for a long time wanted to associate and multiply their contributions tigether, since as early as 2009, when started attempts to create projects in different languages spoken in Algeria in the Incubator, an education program in an Algerian university, and participating in Wiki Loves Monuments in 2013 Algeria, which was quite a success and created a lot of awareness at a local level about the need of making more and more knowledge open in Algeria.

So, now we have them joining the family of affiliates.Please, let's give them a warm welcome!

Soyez les bienvenus, amis algériens!

Carlos
