The following are excerpts from the celebration of the Prophet Muhammad's birth in South-West Algeria, which aired on Al-Hura TV on June 6, 2005

Reporter: This is the gunpowder of the knights and youth of the city of Bani 'Abbas. This is the opening signal for the celebrations. People have gathered from everywhere to witness the celebration of the birth of the Prophet, which has a special and unique character in this area.

This is a spectacular artistic scene with dancing, occasionally decorated by women shouting. The young knights listen to them in harmony. This is a culture that has been passed down for thousands of years, and remains alive and well, like its owners.
