Най-последните истории за Algeria Arabic С предстоящите законодателни избори в Алжир, насрочени за 10 май, 2012 г., един от многото избори, провеждащи се през 2012 г. (френски) в Африка, един колаборативен уебсайт, наречен Нахраг (арабски), беше пуснат от интернет активисти. Поставяйки на централно място искането за повече прозрачност в изборите, заплашени с бойкот, създателите си служат със сътрудничестка онлайн карта, наречена Ушахиди (дума от суахили, означаваща “свидетел”). Тази карта ще бъде актуализирана, за да включва описания от алжирски граждани, излагайки всички нередности, които биха могли да възникнат по време на изборите. Има общо 42 000 избирателни секции в страната.
