Question: What is the capital of the sovereign state in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast that is home to The Movement of National Understanding?
Context: Algeria is a sovereign state in North Africa on the Mediterranean coast.  Its capital and most populous city is Algiers, located in the country's far north.  With an area of 2381741 km2 , Algeria is the tenth-largest country in the world, and the largest in Africa.  Algeria is bordered to the northeast by Tunisia, to the east by Libya, to the west by Morocco, to the southwest by the Western Saharan territory, Mauritania, and Mali, to the southeast by Niger, and to the north by the Mediterranean Sea. The development of states—large-scale, populous, politically centralized, and socially stratified polities/societies governed by powerful rulers—marks one of the major milestones in the evolution of human societies.  Archaeologists often distinguish between primary (or pristine) states and secondary states.  Primary states evolved independently through largely internal developmental processes rather than through the influence of any other pre-existing state.  The earliest known primary states appeared in Mesopotamia c. 3700 BC, in Egypt c. 3300 BC, in the Indus Valley c. 2500 BC, India c. 1700 BC, and in China c. 1600 BC.  As they interacted with their less developed neighbors through trade, warfare, migration, and more generalized ideological influences, the primary states directly or indirectly fostered the emergence of secondary states in surrounding areas, for example, the Hittites in Anatolia, the Minoan and Mycenaean states of the Aegean, or the Nubian kingdoms in the Sudan.  According to Professor Gil Stein of the University of Chicago Oriental Institute, "The excavations and archaeological surveys of the last few decades have vastly increased both the quantity and quality of what we know about ancient states and urbanism.  Archaeologists have broadened the scope of their research beyond the traditional focus on rulers and urban elites.  Current research now aims at understanding the role of urban commoners, craft specialists, and village-based farmers in the overall organization of ancient states and societies.  Given the immense geographical scope encompassed by the term 'the Ancient World'".  The notion of a sovereign state arises in the 16th century with the development of modern diplomacy. For earlier times, the term "sovereign state" is an anachronism.  What corresponded to sovereign states in the medieval and ancient period were monarchs ruling By the Grace of God, de facto feudal or imperial autocrats, or de facto independent nations or tribal confederations.

There are a multitude of opinions and views of the peace process elicited at various points during Israel's history and by a variety of people.  A popular understanding of the origins of the conflict from the Israeli point of view is that it began following the 1967 Six-Day War with Israel's occupation of the territories and consequently the peace process negotiations should stem from this.  However, there are other understandings of the conflict and therefore the solution for peace, including some Israeli academics' and peace activists' understanding that a much longer history is involved, differing from the popular narrative often recited.  Suggestions for how to achieve peace in the region include a two state solution where an Israeli sovereign state and a Palestinian sovereign state exist side by side, or the suggestion of a one state secular solution where power is shared by Israelis and Palestinians.  Hardliners believe that Israel should maintain sovereignty over the land it currently occupies and give no concessions to Palestinians, others believe keeping up the military campaign, occupation of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank and separation from Palestinians is the only current way forward.  There is also a note of despair and uncertainness as to how to proceed among some, particularly following the failure of peace summits in the 1990s and early 21st century and the second Intifada, as Kaufman "et al." have stated; "there is a growing consensus that the current political leadership are not able to build a stable peace and resolve the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people".  As Cowen says "almost everyone wants peace [but] on his or her terms" and this is the crux of the problem.

The country is a semi-presidential republic consisting of 48 provinces and 1,541 communes (counties).  Abdelaziz Bouteflika has been President since 1999.

As of the early 2000s, it has one member of parliament.  In the 17 May 2007 People's National Assembly elections, the party won 2.14% of the vote and 4 out of 389 seats.

The Prehistory of North Africa spans the period of earliest human presence in the region to the beginning of the Early Dynastic Period of Egypt in c. 3100 BC.  North Africa is defined by the United Nations to consist of the seven countries or territories situated between the Sahara desert and the Mediterranean: Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia, and Western Sahara.  Geographically, it can also be held to include the Saharan portions of Mauritania, Mali, Niger, and Chad.  As modern humans are generally believed to originate in Africa, prehistoric North Africa may hold important clues in understanding the evolution and spread of Homo sapiens.  Fossils excavated at the Jebel Irhoud site in Morocco have been dated to around 300,000 years ago, making these specimens the oldest anatomically modern humans that have been found. The plazas de soberanía (] , literally "places of sovereignty") are the Spanish sovereign territories in North Africa.  These are separate pieces of land scattered along the Mediterranean coast bordering Morocco.  The name refers to the fact that these territories have been a part of Spain since the formation of the modern Spanish State (1492–1556), and are distinguished from African territories obtained by Spain during the 19th and 20th century.
