Democracy in Algeria

On the margins of the Arab world, the United States has some little noticed allies. These are ethnic or religious minorities who have never accepted the inevitability of strongman rule. Some of them have fallen on hard times-the Maronite Christians of Lebanon are scattered and defeated for now; the Copts, in Egypt, have been lying low for decades-but others see their fortunes rising. The Kurds of northern Iraq flourished under the protection of American jets in the last years of Saddam Hussein and are throwing themselves into the rebuilding of their country. Less familiar is the story of the Kabyles of Algeria and the bard-activist Ferhat Mehenni, who is one of their better-known leaders.

TERROR IN KABYLIA

The more terror doubles in ferocity, the more Bouteflika, ever since taking office, keeps thinking he can coax the bearded criminals by scratching their backs. From surrender to capitulation to the islamist terrorists, the Algerian authorities keeps encouraging the supporters of a theocratic state to whom they have just offered the construction in Algiers of the largest mosque in Africa into which billions of dollars are being poured. This money which could have been used to clear Kabyle forests from mines and strikers of terror is thus wasted in a vain enterprise usually used as a means of propaganda to recruit youngsters which the school is already preparing to take up arms in the name of Allah!
