Algerians flee wildfires in country's northeast

Algerian firefighters on Sunday were battling blazes in the northeastern Kabylie region as families were ordered to evacuate, local media and an AFP journalist reported.
Residents were told to leave homes in the fire's path in Tizi Ouzou
province, news site Ennahar Online reported quoting a forest official, though
it was not immediately clear how many people were affected.
Numerous wildfires have broken out in Tizi Ouzou since Friday, though most
of them have been brought under control or were expected to soon, said civil
defence official Nassim Bernaoui.
