Aurès

Algeria

Aurès, a mountainous region in eastern Algeria, connects to 601 places across 13 topics through 40 Bunkabop connections, with history accounting for the bulk of its ties. The Algerian War of Independence anchors much of its reach: the Aurès mountains served as the main bastion of the insurrection when France increased its troop presence there in 1954. The region also appears in Algerian cinema, most directly in Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina's 1967 film The Winds of the Aures, which depicts a rural family caught in the conflict.
