It is obvious that taking the country from a state of war to being a lawful state won't be easy.

Everywhere that the struggle for national freedom has triumphed, once the authorities agreed, there were military coups d'etat that overthrew their leaders. That is the result time and time again.

I am a Muslim Arab, in my actions oriented very to the left, in my convictions.

I spent 24 and a half years in prison

In two years, there were 22 military coups d'etat, essentially in Africa and the third world. The coup d'etat of Algiers, in 1965, is what opened the path.

The liberation movement which I led in Algeria, the organization that I created to fight the French army, was at first a small movement of nothing at all. We were but some tens of people throughout Algeria, a territory that is five times the size of France

Algeria is not breaking up.
