"The desire to draw about politics, about things that are not right, came when I was at university. Because there, we (students) used to queue for lunch until one or two pm every day, there were strikes all the time, two or three months every year there were strikes going on. Injustice was everywhere. Even to take the bus to go back home we sometimes had to wait one or two hours. And when we finally take the bus, roads were closed everywhere. All this enraged me. I was rebelling. And I thought that the only meaning to life was just to live first of all. And we can not live at the minimum. So I asked myself how can I talk about that, I do not have any weapons to fight, and get revenge on all those people who are putting us into these kinds of situations. But, what I know about is drawing."

"I did this drawing a few days ago. I was thinking - for once I'm going to talk in a positive way about the Algerian government, just for once - so I wrote - 'the Algerian power is the best in the world, it is democratic, honest, it's open-minded' - and we can see the Algerian government saying - 'we are filling a complaint for defamation'."

"Every drawing is a new challenge. Every drawing brings reaction. The problem is that there is not just criticisms. They (people who criticise him) do not criticise me in a constructive way. But I'm facing insults, threats. It's infringement to myself as a caricaturist. For example when I'm drawing President Bouteflika, they will tell me that I do not respect disabled people, or if I'm talking about fundamentalism they will say that I'm anti-Islam. They do not even try to understand my drawings."

I asked my friend - please are you really serious? He told me that he was sure. I felt down. I was brought down. I was brought down."

"After the black decade that we knew here, lots of journalists died, and caricaturists died too. And a lot of caricaturists were scared, and that's human, it's not a weak thing, and at the same time it's not a courageous thing to have to continue (to draw). But lots of caricaturist abandoned (the trade), I know a dozen of them. Caricaturists from my generation who could have been like me today and even better than me, but they decided to abandon that profession."

"If I died, I'd have a clear conscience. I would have done my duty. I would have done my best for society, I would have denounced, I would have said what I really think. No one can stop me. Let them ban me, criticize me, threaten me, harass me, intimidate me. For several months I've been receiving threat letters, they try to intimidate me. But I did not stop, and I will never stop."

One man is using satirical cartoons to tackle political issues in Algeria.

Despite receiving threats and intimidation from critics, caricaturist Ghilas Ainouche vows to continue doing the job he loves.

STORYLINE

One day this signature could be priceless.

It belongs to Ghilas Ainouche who spends his days working as a caricaturist, poking fun at Algeria's government and institutions.

At 26-years-old Ainouche may seem young, but he has seven years of experience behind him.

He'd never planned to draw for a living, but he says circumstance pushed him to pick up a pen and put it to paper.

"The desire to draw about politics, about things that are not right, came when I was at university," he explains.

"I was rebelling. And I thought that the only meaning to life was just to live first of all. And we can not live at the minimum. So I asked myself how can I talk about that, I do not have any weapons to fight, and get revenge on all those people who are putting us into these kinds of situations. But, what I know about is drawing."

To him drawing is a weapon.

But it took time to be taken seriously, he says.

He began to draw for free for his university newspaper and then for his local paper in his hometown of Bejaia.

Taking a chance, he moved to Algiers with the idea of meeting as many newspaper editors as he could, but many said his drawings were too polemical.

Since then he's become a hit at his university and has more than 24,000 fans on facebook.

But there's still only one newspaper in the country willing to publish his stories, the online newspaper "Everything about Algeria".

He's worked for them since 2013 and sends one drawing a day.

"Every drawing is a new challenge. Every drawing brings reaction. The problem is that there is not just criticisms. They (people who criticise him) do not criticise me in a constructive way. But I'm facing insults, threats. It's infringement to myself as a caricaturist."

Drawing is his passion, even if it's a dangerous one.

Ainouche is well aware of the problems he faces.

He counts the artists of Charlie Hebdo amongst his friends - visiting the team in March 2014 and later freelancing for the magazine.

The day of the Charlie Hebdo attacks in January 2015, he explains, was one of the worst of his life.

"My friend told me - Charb, Cabu, Tignous, Wolinski - he did not told me about Honore because at that time we thought he was still alive. I was aware of Honore's death after. I asked my friend - please are you really serious? He told me that he was sure."

"I felt down. I was brought down. I was brought down."

He is passionate about highlighting the importance of his work - and that of his colleagues.

Today he is participating in a conference organised by Amnesty International.

Sat alongside him is Hichem Baba Ahmed - AKA The Hic - one of the most famous caricaturists working in Algeria at the moment.

He currently works for El Watan newspaper.

After an uneasy decade in the 90s, when caricaturists were targeted and threatened, Baba Ahmed says it's important to have young people like Ainouche to continue the fight.

He says many journalists and caricaturists turned their backs on their careers during Algeria's 'black decade' - the civil war between the government and Islamic radicals which left more than 200,000 in the country dead.

"First, I can only be happy that young people (like Ainouche) can shake us up a bit. And secondly I'm more than happy because we cannot leave this profession and let this field of free-speech disappear."

Ainouche says he's received threats at home in Bejaia, but that won't stop him from doing what he loves and cares about.

"If I died, I'd have a clear conscience. I would have done my duty. I would have done my best for society, I would have denounced, I would have said what I really think."

"No one can stop me. Let them ban me, criticize me, threaten me, harass me, intimidate me. For several months I've been receiving threat letters, they try to intimidate me. But I did not stop, and I will never stop."

Algeria is ranked in 119th place among 180 countries by Reporters Without Border's World Press Freedom Index 2015.

Relatives and friends of Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Bernard Verlhac gathered at a Paris cemetery on Thursday to pay their respects to the artist who together with nine of his work colleagues was shot dead in the newspaper's office last week.

Verlhac, who drew under the name Tignous, was born in Paris in 1957 and published his first works in Charlie Hebdo in 1980.

Among hundreds of mourners who came to the Pere Lachaise Cemetery, where Verlhac was buried earlier on Thursday, was his friend Franck Glemin.

Glemin said he was angry that his friend was "poorly protected" and that the killing "shouldn't have happened."

Among the people who came to the cemetery braving the rain was Marcelo Milchberg from Argentina.

Milchberg said he wanted to show solidarity with the cartoonist and his colleagues.

Charlie Hebdo cartoonist Georges Wolinski, columnists Bernard Maris and Elsa Cayat, and Franck Brinsolaro, the policeman bodyguard for slain Charlie Hebdo chief Stephane Charbonnier, were also buried on Thursday.

In Tunisia, a vigil has been held outside the French Ambassador's residence in honour of the Charlie Hebdo journalists killed in Paris.

STORY-LINE:

Here, candles are lit for those shot in Paris. In memory of the dead journalists a copy of Charlie Hebdo and a pen.

As news of what happened on Wednesday sank in, people gathered in this suburb of Tunis, in front of the French Ambassador's residence, to honour the victims of the attack at the offices of the satirical newspaper.

Spontaneously after a call on social media, dozens of people joined to support freedom of speech and share their pain.

"People need to share their sadness. I think everyone is shocked because killing 12 people in cold blood, injuring 20 others, in a newspaper, that's a symbol, freedom of the press, freedom of speech are directly targeted," explains Baptiste Amieux, who launched the call to the vigil on Facebook.

"So it's a shock, it's a failure to understand, so that's the need to gather to show that we won't yield against this type of threats," Amieux adds.

Charlie Hebdo has previously infuriated Muslims by drawing cartoons mocking the Prophet Muhammad.

Among the 12 killed in Paris were the well-known newspaper editor and cartoonist Stephane Charbonnier, widely known as Charb. Eleven other people were wounded in the terror attack, four of them in critical condition, according to state prosecutor Francois Molins.

"We know Charlie Hebdo for a while, it's quite tough in its drawings etc, but it's freedom of speech," says Radhia Hervouet.

"But within limits that we should respect and to not overpass others' freedom," adds Claude, her husband.

A famous quote by French Enlightenment writer Voltaire is seen on a hand written poster, saying "I hate what you write but I'll give my life so you can continue writing it" .

Some people here are also worried about the fallout from the attack.

"It will have consequences in my country or in other countries in the world, in Syria, in Iraq, like after September 11. I'm already extremely sad for today's victims, but I'm also sad for the victims that will come, victim of this, consequently of this," says Rim Souidi.

Staff of a French satirical newspaper gathered at the headquarters of the Liberation newspaper in Paris on Friday, two days after an attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices left 12 people dead.

Representatives of the Charlie Hebdo newspaper told reporters that the upcoming Wednesday issue of the paper would still run, despite the attack.

Around 30 remaining staff are using Liberation's office space and computers to produce the next edition of the paper, according to Liberation editor in chief Laurent Joffrin.

Charlie Hebdo previously relocated to Liberation's building for several weeks in 2011 when their offices were firebombed after the publication spoofed Islam and depicted the Prophet Muhammad in caricature.

The staff was in an editorial meeting when Wednesday's attack happened.

Eight journalists, two police officers, a maintenance worker and a visitor were killed, according to prosecutor Francois Molins.

The magazine's editor Stephane Charbonnier, known as Charb, had been specifically threatened in a 2013 edition of the al-Qaida magazine Inspire.

A caricature of Islamic State's leader was tweeted by the newspaper, minutes before the attack.

"Charlie (the newspaper) really means something for me, I'm from this generation, with Hara Kiri (the previous edition of Charlie Hebdo). It reminds me of freedom of speech, that way of reacting to life. So yes sometimes some drawings could have shocked some people but they are just drawings. It doesn't go further than that. And we have to be able to laugh about it."

20. SOUNDBITE (French) Elisabeth Mutshler, Strasbourg resident visiting Paris :

"It (the 7th of January) leads to a lot of reflection in people minds, a lot of changes. And a realisation of several things. I don't want to talk about danger, but the world is, in a way, changing. And it's time for all of us to think together, all religions, all countries and people from everywhere."

"There's always some sadness, it's innocent people who died. People who were just doing their job. It's sad. It's really sad and emotional."

26. SOUNDBITE (French) Isi Douro, Former Paris resident:

"I totally agree with people who say that we have to live. We have to continue because if we are afraid we cannot live anymore. For people here who have to work every day, they have to think that we have to continue and go on. That's it."

"On 7th January, it (extremist attack) happened just a few steps away, and then again on 13th November. It’s just too much, two such huge events. To me as a Parisian living in this neighbourhood, it just marks us. We can only wish it does not happen again, here or anywhere else. There are also other events in the world that made this year a difficult one: the war in Syria, the migrants. It was a very strange year and we just want 2016 to be different, simply a normal one. It doesn't need to be an excellent one but just a normal one."

"It was a horror for everyone, we had such an awful escalation (of violence). We all had more fear, more anxiety, more tragedies this year, and it is difficult for us to put things into perspective. We think that time has passed but it hasn’t really, some things are now forever. We have a lot of emotion and thoughts for the people that have lost their loved ones, children, brothers, spouses, and for whom things have changed forever. Life goes on but there are people who left us and we think about them."

"We belong to a great country. We have values and we need to defend them. What I would like to see in the coming year is that we are strong enough to defend our values. Values of love, of sharing and of unity between the various components of our society."

STORYLINE:

As 2015 draws to a close, Parisians reflect on a tumultuous and violent year that saw a number of extremist attacks across the country.

The French have been left reeling after a year that started with attacks on satirical magazine 'Charlie Hebdo' on 7 January, and on a Paris kosher market two days later - violence that killed 17 people plus the three extremist attackers.

In the ensuing months, attacks were thwarted on a church and a high-speed international train, and another Islamist extremist decapitated his boss at an American-owned chemical plant.

French troops launched air strikes on Islamic State group targets in Syria in response.

Then, on 13 November, attacks on cafes, a rock concert and a stadium killed 130 people around Paris.

Several attackers linked to the Islamic State group were also killed, and at least one is still at large.

Authorities are preparing for a possible worst case scenario on New Year's Eve with around 60,000 police and troops deployed across the country.
