Souhil Tahiri is one of those enviable people who excels in two completely different fields. The first is his career as a full-time university lecturer in mathematics, the second, his life as a professional Mixed Martial Arts fighter.
It is the sprints, ball at his feet, that catch the eye, that push the speedometer’s needle so it twitches up above 36 kph. But there’s a good deal more to Mohamed Amoura, flag-bearer for Algerian football’s next generation, and a star on the rise just when his country needs one.

By looking into the story of her Harki grandfather, who fought alongside the French forces against the pro-independence National Liberation Front during the Algerian War of Independence (1954-1962), she respectfully but persistently attempts to break the wall of silence. This omerta exists within her own family, but also among members of the Harki community who were interned in the Bias camp in south-western France.
Algeria international Youcef Atal was suspended by Nice on Wednesday for a social media post about the Israel-Hamas conflict, the Ligue 1 club said on Wednesday. Defender Atal, who has been at Nice since 2018, has since deleted the post. He had been on international duty with Algeria and was summoned to speak with the club as soon as he returned. Hamas fighters killed 1,300 Israelis on Oct.
