In the distance, many put to Tunisia, Egypt and Algeria in the same boat, so they believe in an imminent destabilization of the system. But I do not think so and I'll try to reason at various stages.
The following text I wrote a few weeks ago. I had left in the fridge and now I decide to publish it as it was. It is true that events have gone beyond what my comments indicated, so a day now, maybe tomorrow, I will add some additional considerations.
In the distance is seen as a contagion of the situation in Tunisia, where unrest has led to city events, in turn exploited by the movements for the democratization of Tunisian policy to denounce the double face of a regime well regarded in the West, as a stable, pro-Western, but feared by the Tunisians for their own totalitarian character.
Algerian political reality is very different. The liberal system of the Tunisian economy has little to do the stale of the Algerian socialism. The apparent freedom of press enjoyed in Algeria is far from the constant threat under which they write the Tunisians. And individual apathy than fifty years of socialism has led to the Algerian people off the possibility of an organized political movement, except in Kabylia, the only region where people felt mostly in the western values \u200b\u200bwe associate with democracy. Parea
understand the events of the Algerian streets need to know the extremely violent nature of their society. The war of independence, the warmongering of the 70 militant, demonstrations of 80, or decade of civil war, marked the way of being of citizens. Not surprisingly, Al Qaeda has historically nurtured a good number of Algerians and Yemenis, representatives of the two companies more accustomed to living with violence.
normality with which we live that violence has a tragic set of Algerian youth. Many people have left Algeria to go to football stadiums by continuous episodes that seem a part of war. It is not rare day of the Premier League in which at least a couple of matches played behind closed doors by the end of the stadium, after serious incidents. A little over a year, following a football match was held Egyptian hunting. All businesses were looted from Egyptian or Egyptian interests, including the offices of the largest private telephone company in the country. This, the impunity that has seen the police stop doing that most of the population is sympathetic to such violence and encourages the government itself in a political operation to punish the Egyptian economic interests, which are still in a date.
Therefore, excessive violence on the street does not respond to an extreme political ad nauseam, but unfortunately a common form of mass action. Perhaps the best example would be the manifestations of anti-globalization movements, that caused extensive damage but in some cities, like Barcelona, \u200b\u200bno one argues that a system can be staggering.
Algerian politicians are old dogs (a term which for us is not pejorative, what I say because if I read some Camus) and has enough experience to know to lead the masses. So I was surprised at the stupidity of today when compared to a demonstration by a political party called the RCD, the police have launched an exaggerated pulse, with a lot of elements of the security forces, far exceeding the number of protesters, who for hours not even been allowed to leave the headquarters of his party.
This demonstration only serves to undermine the government and show it as repressive, supported in a state of emergency that has been years without being lifted, a modern version of droit de seigneur. Police made and unmade at will or to speak better, to whom he sends.
RCD is a political group tailored to their leader, a former activist Kabila, who represents no more than 3% of the Algerians. In the region of Tizi Ouzou has a good institutional representation and limited to a struggle with the FFS Cain to carry the banner of identity Kabila. In the rest of the country is viewed with the same degree of sympathy with which he sees outside Carod Rovira Catalonia. Parade have left him, he would have seen what their real strength. But instead, he has been offered the title of a victim of the lack of freedom in the country.
do not know why I feel that when in a few months to decide Bouteflika to change the government and replace Ouyahia, one that has started today to pack is the Minister of Interior.
