Two years after the coward assassination of Ameziane Mehenni, no track for the research of the authors and backers of this villainous act seem to succeed. The hope to find one day the murderers of the son of a figurehead of the opposition to the Algerian regime is thinned day by day.

Why the survey carried out by the brigade of the “36 quai des Orfèvres” is trampling ? How the cream of the French police proceeds in term of criminality, so that the authors of this crime pass between the meshs of the net? As many questions for which it will be necessary to think of answering one day. Without violating the secrecy of instruction, we will try to peel the case with a same time vigilant way and without prejudices. In the night from the 18 to June 19, 2004, a young man of about thirty year Mehenni Ameziane is stabbed by knife blow on the level of the 100 Boulevard Clichy in Paris. On the basis of elements in their possession, the investigators classifies the case as a common-law affair.

Considering the relative popularity of Mehenni on the French media scene, this reflex is completely comprehensible. We cannot ask the French civils servant to know all the opponents installed in France. A priori, the affair arises thus in the head of the police officers: A young person of Nort African origin installed in Bondy is stabed at Boulevard Clichy. The murder is according to their criteria linked to drug, a brawl between rival bands or for other reasons. The topicality of the problems of the french suburbs denatures the course of the investigations.

The first investigations are directed towards the personality of the victim. According to testimonys of friends and close, Ameziane is a calm, just and intelligent person. The examination of its criminal record does not reveal any antecedent of delinquency. Perhaps there is a tiny element which escapes to the investigators, they take again the investigation upstream and downstream, nothing again and on the ground, no element comes to consolidate this thesis which seems to achieve the unanimity in the buildings of the “36 Quai des Orfèvres”. Except that a new element irrupt in the affair: the statute of the father of the victim. Ferhat Mehenni is a long date opposant to the Algerian regime. Some remember to have seen him in the tv programme of Daniel Prévost and at the time of the report on the catch hostages of the Air France’s Airbus (December 1994).

They know that in Algeria, he was arrested at least ten time, and even condemned to death by the islamist, about his passport at the place of the profession appears the ranking “political leader”. Concurrently to that, it does not present the pedigree of the political opposant: he does not have bodyguards, nor Mercedes, nor an bank account in Switzerland and in addition he lives in a block in Seine Saint-Denis (93). This character is too common for a politic, especially not enough rich to claim a political crime. Politic or common-law?

The investigation pains to succeed. Nevertheless, another reading of the events is essential, the accredited thesis, ignored by the police, which we will summarize in these terms:

Ameziane Mehenni is the elder son of Ferhat, singer engaged at the head of a Kabylian autonomist movement (the MAK). The father is an opposant of the military regime of Algier and was distinguished himself by an intense diplomatic activity these last weeks. In particular the trip of the autonomist leader in North America, where he was received by the president of the Parliament of Quebec, for the Canadian part and by the Pentagon for the United States part. The military junta sees of a bad eye the handing-over of Bouteflika, candidate of the militars, who had the role of rehabilitating them on the international scene; so that he is not worried any more by the courses of Western justices.

Edifying example: the escape of the major general Khaled Nezzar from the French territory with the complicity of the authorities which could not manage a very embarrassing police custody. Of only one knife blow on the level of the heart, Ameziane collapses bathing in a pool of blood.

The will to give death as quickly as possible with a diabolic precision, appears to be inside the field of the professionals of death. The absence of any witness of the scene of the crime indicates that the stab was prepared and several other people were to make the guet. The “orange card” (Paris transport check), without the photograph, left on the body is a message: card without photograph, body without identity, people without identity. The fight for identity in Algeria has always been the Kabylians fight.

The elements which will direct the investigation into the shutter of a political crime are assembles together,(others that the secrecy of the instruction does not enable us to reveal. Still, the political good-will of the French State for hearing other witness.

The soon renewal of the OIL-AGAINST-SILENCE agreements between Algeria and France, prevents any manifestation of the truth. At least in the affair Ali Mecili (opponent assassinated in 1986) the authors are known and sent off immediatly in Algier. For Ameziane it is the total blackout, the author, in our opinion, had sent off himself in Algiers. Azekka ad yali w as tidet ad bin am tafat, from now, let us continue requiring together that all the truth will be made so that the sacrifice of our youth is not vain. In the case of Ameziane, the cream turned, or take badly, the “36 quai des Orfèvres” must re-examine its copy.
