The Algerian army is really not an army in a classical sense where an army first duty is to defend the integrety of the country and its citizens.
The first goal of any algerian officer it to make as much money as he can
using his rank and influence.
If you visite Algiers you will realize very fast the best villas qnd land belong to the military qnd their families. Its amazing ow much poer they have! !they are behind everything
If you want to do any business in Algeria you better have q military officer behind you..
The are th main reasons behind the corruption and the backwardeness of the country..
I bet that one day aginst a well trained professionel army
An Algerian Citizen who had enough
Bouteflika is the biggest liar, hypocryte, and manipulator that Algeria has known.
Anyone who is listening to these lies that Bouteflika did this and that is full of shit and should check his brain. Social life in Algeria is getting worst.
Just do your homework for god sake, Bouteflika has stolen more money than any other general. In fact, he is one of them. He is just another France' cock sucker.
When are you going to WAKE UP? may be you deserve another Hamla or an earthquake for you to see the truth.
Algeria' leadership should be changed from the top to bottom.
