Abstract

The eastern borders of Algeria have played an important role in the process of communication between the Algerian and Tunisian peoples throughout history. Relations between the border tribes were linked by kinship and marriage, religious affiliation (Sufi orders and sheikhs), and economic activities such as pastoralism and trade. The border regions also served as a refuge for rebellious tribes opposed to French occupation.
