| [Ennahar] Minister of Interior and Local Government; Dahou Ould Kablia said that the regime in Algeria is not in danger of falling, like what happened in Tunisia and Egypt. The Algerian people are aware of the accomplishments made during the last ten years, he said. In an interview with France 24, Algerian Minister of Interior and Local Government spoke about the latest events organized by the National Coordination for Change and Democracy (NCCD), unauthorized, which led to its ban, the minister added that the protesters provoked the police to make believe that the regime in Algeria is a repressive regime. Ould Kablia said that the regime in Algeria is completely different from that in Tunisia or Egypt. Each nation, he said, has its peculiarities and its nature. If the investment programs in these countries were concentrated in specific regions, in Algeria, the investment policy is not built on regionalism; financial allocations were made available for remote areas, like southern and High Plateaus. For the Algerian Minister of the Interior, what happens in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya could have negative consequences. If the people in these countries gain freedom, they will lose their independence in return because of the interests and ambitions of the West who will not hesitate to intervene to defend them. The example is instructive with transitional governments in Tunisia and Egypt. Furthermore, concerning the fight against terrorism and the organization AQIM, the minister said that cooperation is very low because of the disproportionate means in these countries and cooperation of Mali and Niger with Western countries like the United States and France. A situation that irritates Algeria, the minister added, as this latter cannot cooperate with non-Muslims to fight Muslims.

| #1 For those who have seen The Battle of Algiers (1966), I'm interested in your movie reviews, especially with our somewhat different perspectives today. |
