Peace does not include a vendetta; there will be neither winners nor losers.

When I was engaged in the struggle for my country, I was very young. My horizons were open.

My life has been a bit special, this is true. I participated in the liberation of my country. I was one of the organisers of its struggle for liberation. I likewise actively participated in all the struggles for liberation.

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

I am the son of poor peasants who came at a very young age to live in Algeria. I only recently saw the place where they were born, near the city of Marrakech.

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.

Algeria is not breaking up.
