French President Francois Hollande arrives in former colony Algeria on Monday as the two nations, once bitter foes, work ever closer to tackle regional threats from Mali to Libya. It is Hollande's second time in Algiers since a 2012 visit during which he recognised France's century of "brutal" rule over Algeria which ended in a bloody independence war. Algeria shares a border with Mali's **rth, which is still fragile after a French-led operation in 2013 ousted jihadists who had seized the upper half of the west African nation.
