Aïn Oulmene is an important city in the Sétif department of northeastern Algeria, located about 300 kilometers east of the capital city of Algiers. The city is situated in the hinterland of the Terre Atlas Mountains, at an altitude of about 900 meters above sea level, and belongs to the typical transitional zone between Mediterranean and continental climate.
As a regional center of agriculture and trade, Ein Ulman is known for its olive cultivation, grain production and animal husbandry, and is surrounded by olive groves and wheat fields. The city has a population of approximately 120,000 (2020 figures) and retains a strong Berber cultural heritage with a mix of Arab and French colonial architecture.
The city is connected to the capital of Setif province by the RN75 highway and has excellent medical and educational facilities. In recent years the government has developed a photovoltaic project, making it one of Algeria's model regions for renewable energy.
Ancient Roman ruins and Ottoman-era fortresses are scattered around Ain Oulman, and the annual olive festival in the fall attracts many visitors. Traditional handicrafts, especially Berber carpet weaving, are on the national intangible cultural heritage list.
São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
