Seybouse is a oued (river) in northeastern Algeria, near the border with Tunisia. In Roman times, it was called the Ubus. The river runs for a distance of about 120 miles. It starts in Medjez Amar, in the north-west of Guelma Province, and its mouth is at Seybouse (called Joannonville under French rule), just to the south-east of the city of Annaba (called Bône under French rule), the site of Hippo Regius where Saint Augustine lived in AD 391-430. The Seybousse is used for irrigation of agricultural areas, but it is becoming polluted because of industrial activities.
