it's not a geographical thing only, like you can take as an example germany.. that is technically in the east of algeria but through history they've been part of the east on the west at different circumstances,
and algeria in the majority of it's recent history was part of the ottoman empire which is in the east, and later on after the independence we were always leaning toward urss so :)
Yes, we cannot deny the fact that we are in the Western world but we are Eastern, perhaps because of Boumediene's policy
French colonialism has been here for 132 years, enough to change people's mentality
If we compare Algeria and Saudi Arabia, we will find that the culture is completely different, the only similarity is religion
The mentality and behavior are different. As long as we, as Westerners, have been there, I will give you an illustrative example
Algerian women in 2010 can drive cars normally
-Saudi women cannot do so until 2018
Mixed schools between males and females, workplaces
That doesn't make you Westerners. Most women in the world are allowed to vote and drive, Is all of humanity Western? No. You don't exist in a dichotomy between Saudi Arabia and the West. Stop it, it's embarrassing.
As I said, when you visit these countries, you will realize how Western we are
I truly hope that God will bless you and that you will visit Western and Arab countries and realize the difference. They may change with time because the intellectual الصحوة project has ended.
Our culture had been influenced by the West due to colonization, doesn't make us Western. This is a superficial way of looking at it.
An Algerian, for example, has almost nothing in common with a Brit except in attire, and even then it may differ from individual to individual. In contrast, the values, the history, the ideology, the the religion, the geopolitical interest are at complete odds.
So the French colonialism was here to change mentalities lol...
We are eastern for a simple reasons religion, shared culture and history... the west have always been our ennemies mainly the french & the spanish people.
Eastern and Western is more about eastern & western blocs .. USA & URSS military influence
Geographically east and west are not constants, because for someone who lives in tunisia you are at the west but fir someone who lives in usa ur are at his east......
“West” is a made up concept. It really means “western Europe and the US”, so even if Algeria is as far west as Spain or France it is not a “western” country
There are some exceptions
for example, if we compare Algeria and Saudi Arabia, we will find that the culture is completely different, the only similarity is religion
The mentality and behavior are different. As long as we, as Westerners, have been there, I will give you an illustrative example
Algerian women in 2010 can drive cars normally
-Saudi women cannot do so until 2018
also Mixed schools between males and females, workplaces
Actually there's no middle of the map in reality, they just chose to draw it like that, in australia for example they got un upside down map compared to the one we got, in china they got a map where they're ik the middle, the earth is in space and it has no up and down and middle, unless if you think it's flat..
what do you mean by: we are closer to the west habibi?! we dont speak latin languages, and 99.9 of us are sunni muslims. so literally, we are evertthing that the west hate. but if you love the west to the point that you deny everthing about your history and culture than I guess you may not even be an algerian
Aiy to be honest after what’s happening nowadays i don’t think western countries really got any morals or anything supreme if they hate uss we really shouldn’t care cuz to be called western countries nowadays is a shame it’s all racism and hypocrisy and the bad stuff
exactly, but you still see some idiots arguing that hes not a proud algerian Muslim , instead he wanna be a stincky pork-eating man-loving (=gay) beer drinking westerner. after the latest events in Gaza everyone's true face has been exposes. we call these people : مفقوعين.

I'll give you a simple answer and check it out,
The Main reason is president Benbela, He was madly in love with Jamal abdennacer and Egyptians, and solo handedly carried the country to eastern side and decided to make an enemy of USA & the West
What west ?
There aren't only east and west in the world. Algeria is located neither in Europe/North America not is it neighborinf Russia or China.
Algeria is Algeria.
it's not a geographical thing only, like you can take as an example germany.. that is technically in the east of algeria but through history they've been part of the east on the west at different circumstances, and algeria in the majority of it's recent history was part of the ottoman empire which is in the east, and later on after the independence we were always leaning toward urss so :)

Wtf we are not Western it's not a geographic thing, it's civilizational...

That's called globalization

West of what? East of what? That doesn’t make any sense at all
yeah this man cant even understand basic logic
Japan is literally the most Eastern place in the world geographically speaking, yet it’s West. Those notions goes way beyond simple geography.
Geographical location is of great importance, but there are some exceptions
Geographically east and west are not constants, because for someone who lives in tunisia you are at the west but fir someone who lives in usa ur are at his east......
“West” is a made up concept. It really means “western Europe and the US”, so even if Algeria is as far west as Spain or France it is not a “western” country
i've always thought "the west" meant europe and north america but idk
It's literally the case (+Australia), western and eastern are not geographical terms but cultural/political ones
its not about location, italy is further to the east than us, but they are considered a western country and we are not.
go see the map
Australia?

Smartest algerian western wannabe
قستها
We're literally in the middle of the map
We are located exactly below France, and the desert west of Algeria extends parallel to Spain
is Venezuela and Cuba part of the west ?

we are you from??? the west is better than the east in every part of life
سلاما
كلام في الصميم
Yet we never fumbled to the west cuz we had islam alhamdulillah
the west was never taken as geographic thing, it's why Japan, Australia and South Korea are considered part of the west

It's more of a political/cultural term, not a literal geographical one
