Sidi Bedouins of Algeria
In the stark, gritty beauty of Northwest Algeria’s mountains and valleys, the Sidi Bedouins (see-Dee BEH-doo-ins) make their home. They number 139,000 and are Sunni Muslim. They speak Hassaniyya, a type of Arabic. Traditionally, they raised livestock and traversed the Sahara to find food and water for their animals. Their
tribal and nomadic lifestyle, as well as their unique language and commitment to Islam, make it difficult to find them and communicate the gospel in their language.
