Thank you for this Al Khiyal. It's a very informative piece. Great to read some news from Algeria in English (and even more, from women's perspecitves).

Hope all's well with you.

Hi le Pharon

I'm sorry if I ask facile questions but I really don't understand how that murderer Merzag can run for election! What is going on? What is the opinion there? Do ordinary Algerians support him?

Is Bouteflicka releasing these people so that they start trouble again and then the state can use that to deepen its control?

Again, sorry to be obtuse but what do you mean by 'Nigerian syndrome'?

Thanks.
