Charles, I presume you realise that the referred residents are not exactly that. They are mainly Spanish gypsies and Romanians, together with a pinch of Moroccans, who are pissed off with these new arrivals trying to take over their patch. The two North African “resident” groups, although from the same culture, hate each other’s guts, as their respective countries are virtually at war with each other. The real local residents haven’t, so far, reduced themselves to using violence to show their displeasure with the ever increasing crime rate. When, or better said, if they do, I for one wouldn’t want to be anywhere near the proceedings. They have been practicing for years when the Christians against the Moors festivals take place.
Algerians are reaping what they sow.
“Residents” being the operative word.
There's only one safe course of action for the Algerians and that is to leave the island quickly. Residents have clearly had their fill of this group and want them gone. They're going to need to find another land of milk and honey.
