Peace does not include a vendetta; there will be neither winners nor losers.
From Ahmed Ben Bella
I accommodated practically all of the liberation movements, including those of Latin America.
Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again.
Colonialism is an idea born in the West that drives Western countries - like France, Italy, Belgium, Great Britain - to occupy countries outside of Europe.
Colonialism is known in its primitive form, that is to say, by the permanent settling of repressive foreign powers, with an army, services, policies. This phase has known cruel colonial occupations which have lasted 300 years in Indonesia.
I'm optimistic because I'm pragmatic: Neither of the two sides, the military government nor the Islamic front, is capable of winning. If they continue to fight, they will both bleed to death.
Algeria is not breaking up.
It is obvious that taking the country from a state of war to being a lawful state won't be easy.
My life has been a bit special, this is true. I participated in the liberation of my country. I was one of the organisers of its struggle for liberation. I likewise actively participated in all the struggles for liberation.
Yes, I am Algerian of Moroccan origin through my parents, but all my life is Algeria. I was born there.
