Tizi Ouzou or Thizi Wezzu (Arabic: تيزي وزو, Kabyle: Tizi Wezzu) is a city in north central Algeria, and capital of Tizi Ouzou Province and Tizi Ouzou District. It is among the largest cities in Algeria. It is the second most populous city in the Kabylia region after Béjaïa.

History

[edit]

Foundation

[edit]

Tizi Ouzou was founded in 1856, after the successful expedition of France against Kabyle tribes.[2]

Etymology

[edit]

The name Tizi Ouzou is made up of two Kabyle words: Tizi meaning col, and Ouzou (from Azzu) meaning Genisteae. The full name of the locality therefore means "the col of the Genisteae".[3]

Friction

[edit]

Islamists looted, and burned to the ground, a Pentecostal church on 9 January 2010. The pastor was quoted as saying that worshipers fled when local police left a gang of local rioters unchecked.[4]

Geography

[edit]

This city is located in the heart of Kabylie. It is 102.36 square kilometres (39.52 sq mi) in area. Tizi Ouzou is located in the valley of Assif N Sébaou. It is surrounded by mountains. The city is at an altitude of 200 metres (660 ft). It is bounded on the north by Mount Belloua which rises to 850 metres (2,790 ft) above sea level. A portion of the old city of Tizi Ouzou (known as the High City) backed the east slopes of the mountain. At the top of the mountain Belloua lies the village of Redjaouna. The latter is attached to the town of Tizi Ouzou.[citation needed]

Climate

[edit]

Tizi Ouzou experiences a hot Mediterranean climate (Köppen climate classification Csa).
