Abstract
The post-cold war witnessed the emergence of terrorist groups that attacked the security of some countries. The clash between the algerian government and the extremist groups led to the aggravation of the status quo. A conflict was the outcome of the state of chaos in the 1990's. It pushed some algerians to leave the country and to apply for asylum in the UK. Their number was increased from 45 applications in the early 1990's to 10,672 in 2001. So, the aim of the present paper is to provide an appropriate definition for asylum seekers, as well as to analyze the conditions that pushed algerians to leave their country. It also describes the major legislations that the UK made them as a reaction to the presence of algerian asylum seekers. In particular, the memoire examines the history of Algerian asylum seekers in the UK and their situations there. It shows how their presence in UK started to be considered as a threat after the events of September. Finally, this study reveals that those Algerians who enter britain as asylum seekers were deemed to be terrorists.
