Background: ALGERIA'S PRIME MINISTER, MR HOUARI BOUMEDIENNE, IS ON A PROVINCIAL TOUR IN THE SAHARA. YESTERDAY (MONDAY) HE VISITED OUARGLA, ABOUT 400 MILES (650 KMS) FROM ALGIERS, AND LATER CONTINUED ON TO TOUGGOURT, ONE OF THE MAJOR CENTRES OF ALGERIA'S DATE INDUSTRY.

THE PRIME MINISTER WAS MET BY LARGE WELCOMING CROWDS ALL ALONG THE ROUTE. HE FLEW TO OUARGLA AND THEN WENT ON BY CAR TO TOUGGOURT WHERE, AMONG THE CROWD, WERE SOME WOMEN WITH A BANNER DEMANDING EMANCIPATION FOR WOMEN. AT TOUGGOURT, MR BOUMEDIENNE, ACCOMPANIED BY THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR MR MEDEGHRI, AND THE DISTRICT PREFECT MR FADHEL, ADDRESSED A VERY LARGE CROWD.
