January 11 --- September 11
 
8 Months of Adventure, 8 Months of a march toward disaster.
 
The coup that pretended to save Algeria from imaginary troubles, then plunged
it  resulted into real chaos.
 
 
Hypocrisy does not possess the power of convincing, as lies do not measure to 
the power of truth.
 
 
Gentlemen, the Decision-makers [of Algeria] Here comes again the time 
of wrath. September is the season of growl, the season in which rotten
fruits and yellow leaves fall. The people are getting ready, they
already separated the good from the bad crops. All your
cards have been exposed in the open: "Lessening conditions" and "it is not
because of us, it is because of them" are no more accepted 
arguments. The specter of violence -a scarecrow- does not
frighten the people anymore. [Now] They are impressed by these
youths who are planting seeds of hope and better future, even in the
desert life of a deportee. The independence generation has grown
and became the FIS generation, the generation of the Dawla
Islamiyya [Islamic State]. 
 
What would you say to this people tomorrow?
What you say to these millions of Algerians who are family
fathers,  when they enter their homes at the eve of the new
school year, empty-bag and empty handed, avoiding the look of
their children who are expecting new clothes, new school bags...
All these little things that mean a new school year for a child.
What would  you say to these fathers who would not be able to
explain to their children "the laws of free market economy", "the
laws of the IMF", "the consequences of 30 years of authoritarian
policies". What would you tell them, tomorrow, when  pressed by
the tears of their children, they would take to the streets to
scream their anger. Would you then send your troops and "security
forces" and fire at them?
 
What would you say to theses thousands of workers who rendered
years of loyal services to their firms but never benefited from
their hard work. These workers who have devoted their life to a
stolen nation and who would, one day, see their name in the list
of "workers layed off for technical reasons", and would not be
able to explain to their children "the laws of free market
economy", "the laws of IMF". What would you tell them when they
join  their brothers to whom the employing firm "apologized" for
not being able to pay them, the company having no cash. Pushed 
by their crave to do anything for the well being of their
children, they  would take to the streets to claim their dues.
Would you, then, send your troops and "security forces" to shoot
at them?
 
What would you tell these thousands of farmers when in the
upcoming days, you will propose to them "serfdom" on a land
you provided them in the past as part of the populist
agricultural revolution you conducted with so much noise; what would you
tell them when your agents will order them to "vacate the land"
to let others occupy it and they will not be able to explain
to their families that it is the consequence of free market
economy, the consequence of the "rules of the IMF", "a consequnce of
30 years of authoritarian policies". What would you tell them,
then, when they take it to the street to claim their rights? would 
you send your troops and your "security forces" with orders to
shoot them?
 
What would you tell these teachers, these college and high school
students when, all the sudden, they witness the Arabic language
lowered to a second level language thanks to "Senatus Consulte"[junta
parliament]. When they understand that their degree will not make of them
better corpses; when they are enrolled in educational institutions
lacking professionalism. When they are told "pay more for
transportation, for food, for lodging". When they reject "the
laws of free market economy", "the laws of the IMF", "the
consequences of 30 years of authoritarian policies", they will
take it to the streets to claim their rights. Would you, then, send
your troops and "security forces" to shoot at them?
 
What would you tell these thousands of women when they learn that
your policies of the modern women are rather the western concept
of the women object "free" of being used in commercial
billboards; when they learn that they are manipulated by a
political whorehouse institution whose "keepers" depend on, and
are recruited by the rotten secular-communists; when they realize
that they are only objects needed for the functioning of the free
market economy according to the IMF laws; ... they will take it to
the streets to defend their dignity and their honor of Muslim
Algerians, proud progeny of Lalla Fatma N'soumer and proud
sisters of Hassiba Ben Bouali. Would you then send your troops
and "security forces" to shoot at them?
 
When the people of Algeria, man and women, will invade the
streets to scream their despair and claim their rights of Muslims
Algerians, will you commit the massacre?
 
And still how long will your troops and "security forces" hold if they
open fire on this unarmed population? The first bullet will hit an
unidentified person, the second bullet will hit a neighbor, the third one a
friend, and the fourth one a brother. At that moment, the Algerian
you armed to kill, will turn the weapon against you. That day
will be reminiscent of Iran.
 
And even if blinded by the fear you planted in them, your
security forces will continue to fire, to kill, the army finally resigned to
reality, will surround your palaces, and will declare the power to the people.
That day will be reminiscent of the Sudan.
 
Our hopes are more powerful than your guns. How long will all your armies
keep firing on this unarmed people? by land, air, and sea? A genocide.
The people who will then have nothing more to loose decide to go to the limit
of their pains, to the limit of their will and faith: The people will get rid
of you, and for good. They will return power to the rightful ones, to those 
they had elected a certain December 28, 1991. That day one would speak of 
reminiscence with the Algerian Revolution.
