The Oued Bouaïcha massacre took place about 150 miles (240 km) south of Algiers, near Djelfa, on March 26, 1998. Fifty two people, including thirty two children under the age of two, were killed at Oued Bouaïcha in the municipality of Bouiret Lahdab (see map; near Had Sahary) by about fifteen men carrying axes and knives, who also kidnapped three young women. On the same day, another eleven were killed on the other side of the country at Youb (see map), at a place whose name is variously given as Adda Bensekrane or Bab Essekrane.
