More love between Egypt and Algeria.
Quote:
Cairo, 1 Dec. (AKI) - An Egyptian village called al-Jaza'ir, which means Algeria in Arabic, has decided to change its name after recent clashes between the two countries in an elimination match for the 2010 World Cup in November.
Egypt was eliminated from advancing to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa after Algeria's win in the Sudanese capital Khartoum.
Residents of the village located in the Wadi al-Jadid district, in southwest Egypt, have asked local authorities to rename the village Mubarak al-misriyin in honour of the Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak. The name means 'Mubarak for Egyptians'.
