and energizing us and i know it suppresses you when it drains you if you didn't bugs you feel like you're just meandering until you die. just a couple i. think i can watch this is it that you get so desperate all you have left is hope that's your shows keep it to see only thing keeping you going is hope for something different simple enough in a tone to dockside on we've all experienced the dark side with its massacres corruption poverty misery and dirty mess we know how to live with it and survive feel about it how about we try a new way we didn't have much left to lose just ourselves but with this revolution we found ourselves again and we found out who we really are a show and feel what to fail not what he'll need to have a lot. more

. than. usual 3 what most people follow what's happening it used to be just retired people in cafes in the activities here and there are people but now everyone is getting political it's wonderful so someone. like me how's it going through now that yours was i'm good i'll be listening. to this it just shows it man. this is

a letter to the president. mr president i don't want to be offensive but when did you last talk to your grandkids where were your eloquent speeches you held like heroes when did algeria my love become a 0 and how about my brothers crossing the sea they've gone through hell but you just don't want to see you can do anything but your system is corrupt the legislators are against you don't care about the youth. so that's not an insult it's just the truth is that. violence. is why i have to write this in silence as you will see. i don't think the problem is the person sitting on the. throne itself. what this man represents. he stands for an entire ecosystems.

he's achieved such media presence that he's seen as a saint but he's just an effigy. 1234 and someone else will come represent the same system. doesn't understand. exactly. what is the problem. and it's much deeper and more complicated. it's not about swapping one residence for another civil it's about morals. so i think i'm kidding 25 it's quite hard to be a woman in this world if you with variance many little aggressions on here observe more closely than men. who want the slightest slip up and the whole society judges

us much more than they do and then we are cut less slack and. there's actually more culturally added society women have a much harder time claiming their rightful place of family and it is why they are often attacked and 2nd guessed critics no matter in what millions from ya mean you know whether you're a member of the world of the so-called democrats or you move in a more conservative sphere that makes it that women are always under more pressure than men you could definitely take the family code for instance it only applies to us i'm the family code states that women always have to subjugate themselves they can't marry without a man's permission as well so we are watched our entire lives. i . was out.

i was out i. was. i was. bored. bored. bored. bored. bored. like sonia many women took to the streets as part of the here rock movement all indeed algerian women have taken part in all the protest movements and wars in the country and with this popular uprising some women feel they've been able to carve

out a new place for themselves in society and they shot me do it used to be go home or here places in the kitchen or. you shouldn't be a mystery with the men should i and i found out the now to be at the point when it was normal for us to be outside this is a huge step forward system and it's in the national menu in the past weeks the men even called on the women to join the marches because they were needed in numbers one do you know women really play a central role in this revolution. now men are learning to listen to women a woman can talk a lot because they finally understand women have ideas women can talk about politics and things that are important to everyone including men she can put on indifference he quits grades and remember. it's just like. him i want to find some deductions have women as opinion leaders with many followers on social media

to have people listen when they talk like. they found these women they stand for opinions political movements ideas it's a good thing and a big step forward there's our number one. and i love his time plus women have started to take their place as to both pledged citizens because it's only just like any other algerian it's why you know we are all citizens now you know rather we're learning to be citizens in london that's quite remarkable in itself. and they can be sure they were absent our citizens now we've decided to demand our citizenship back it's as simple as that of his son because.

i was. most by how humorous the slogans worth photos of. the 1st one was from a young woman who signs said which if you don't even have the support of my bra. i. i.

i. i. think she'll keep taking back the streets before me i saw young and old whole families marching the people were able to speak more freely again for algeria it was astounding that we're like the north korea of africa was that was that i was can even watch my money event that really made an impression on me the card announcing my shoe we were marching and we were surrounded by slavic fundamentalists lines to we all stood together yelling the same slogans with the same goal of him in the object. are all united the people against the traders the algerian people we are all united the people against the trader the okemos i never got

any nasty looks and wasn't a curse that did me this could i wondered if we could ever have imagined the in this situation one day possible to live those is transformed by was still a lot of talk taught us to take an interest in each other people from care about to be less than to be of us care about shall we it's remarkable. thank us play . thank us. but the candidacy for a 5th term woke up the youth after over

a month of protests he stepped down as president. in algiers ecstatic crowds celebrated booed of league as ouster and demanded total systemic change thank. us shifts generously let's help hold one of the strongest dictatorships in africa and you can't look at like i was a dictator with us and guy out along with millions of others which made him feel so small that was threw him out he media the humiliation he suffered was worse than any humiliations he made for. the league.

play. the less lethal. colombia the hit i can if i don't see that here rock is a revolution it is yet so old that the paradigm so a shake the very core of the algeria. he insisted it was only really why you drew the namely the military's eye and grip on our politics. after a step down the cracks in our democracy appeared and we saw who really was in charge of the military was just general ahmed. the head of the algerian army a staunch supporter of beautifully nonetheless urged him to resign then took over

the role of algeria strongman himself a self-styled defender of the nation so law held power until the end of 2019 when he died at age 79. i thought he was put in office by the military former president was a soldier. and d.n. was a soldier too. said to really tell they were all from the military. that is to stop. while still alive some laws tried to appease the demonstrators by throwing beautifully because cronies in prison. the tactic failed the general was still seen as a member of the former president's clan as the head of the army so law was the face of the very algerian system the people wanted to overthrow the general tried other methods to break the back of the iraq movement he made it illegal for demonstrators

to wave the berber flag an important symbol for algeria as indigenous ethnic minority the cut deal people i the regime hoped this would divide algerians instead the flag became a mark of solidarity i think the police arrested dozens of young people on charges of conspiracy against the national unity for flag waving government repression grew increasingly intense but the beautifully good generation had lost its fear. from 2 in the afternoon to 5 pm the police are usually quite peaceful they said it's been that way for a year now and you go out in the morning and you get rounded up by the cops then they tear gas you asked for $500.00. i. i i

i i. i wouldn't go so far as to call the current situation a dictatorship but it's a totalitarian regime that. does use them a crook who can usually commit on my shoe and i would call it a mafia like sisters and i there is on the handed scheming and corruption you know they are like a gang. of travel cost plus i wanted to

become a lawyer in order to be an activist and cast points because the most effective activists are lawyers who settles the fed enables you to defend people to stand up for justice to understand what people are subjected to to control should it allows you to express yourself at the limits of capacity to experiment. with more people see they will see i primarily deal with political cases and prisoners and i see incredible things over there for them and quite. a for screws on when i delve into a case on my desk i realize the justice system is rotten to the core there is no free decision making kuya to do dishes on the simplest cases you can see there has been intervention from a higher level to reach a certain verdict than you know for doom more careful planning.

some of us. did it to sophia baba see was one of the people abducted prior to the presidential elections in december. of the month he had been at a nighttime demonstration where he supposedly waving a flag a berber or build flag. said that's why he was hunted down and arrested officially but it was just an excuse to arrest him which journal it out it to apply with was

a lot of young people have been arrested for no reason get charged with conspiracy against the national unity that's why he was abducted from his home kidnap people when i visited him in prison with my 2 colleagues he looked wretched. we could see signs of torture he had undergone all these all there were even by mach's how their dogs and it's a lot more coming up his story about what he had been through it was really a terrible act of truculence from him. get a man of the house with the most sure. we're going to visit him always it's the 1st time for me seeing him since he got out of prison by an influx of support from the monks are like that because something is off. the. cuff.

is on the near the feet of you they brought me a stack of pronounce it was all my facebook posts which meant they had been observing me for a while. then the police inspector came and. i think it was the inspector he came in but didn't talk to me he just looked at me then punched me in the eye. shit then he pushed me. i asked why are you hitting me he said you deserve to die we shouldn't let you live i should slit your throat. they grabbed me while i was a bit out of it and put my fingerprints under the report. i didn't do it myself. in

fact i had said i wouldn't do so without seeing my lawyer. they did everything they could to get me in prison because. did you think they'd ever let you go. to be honest no. i presume. i was lying in prison and heard a knock on the door someone said see you can go. i was completely astounded. if one is a decision defending one's convictions is a noble cause and most importantly it gives you pride in this subject my message to the rest of the world is easy to defend your ideas don't give up. do you have to fight for your convictions without fear or hesitation. the most important thing is to do no harm. to.

the regime knows it's illegitimate she did not in order to create a illegitimacy of sorts they must constantly feel superior like they have the power to suppress. it. this way of looking down on the people helps compensate for their lack of legitimacy. was. i was. there. i. was the was the was the was the was. i. was.

in december 21000. deaths in general succeeded in holding presidential elections. there were 5 candidates the forerunner was $74.00. year old i'm down to boone who under beautifully had been a minister multiple times and even briefly served as prime minister. at the time of the election to boon son was in jail on cocaine charges i thus the regime responded to the heroic movement's demand for change with more of the same.

was. i. but the people in the streets stood their ground saying the election was fraudulent they called for a boycott the new president took office nonetheless i was i. i was i was i was from the moment the ball sic i personally thought i'd feel real a jolt hoping us to overcome the traumas of alcohol but i gradually noticed that wasn't the case i personally don't think it will happen anymore you know i've lost faith of you could have but from what i see we're back where we started. to open

a different luxury in algeria will change but not yet i have less and less faith to be honest i'm fortunately i'm talking about an event that i've yet to experience and i don't think i will. our young people in algeria happy the question is an important one. half of the country's 40000000 residents are under 30. the popular uprising awoke real hope. many young people are no longer trying to leave the country at all costs. but other young people continue to flee attempting to reach europe in makeshift rafts. they are driven by oppressive corruption cronyism and nepotism as well as

a 26 percent unemployment rate among 16 to 24 year olds. mehdi an unemployed construction engineer is struggling as well. as richard i went to study in france and spent 2 years there in france i realized how little i knew about my own country and at the same time i realized how much i loved it i spent time with moroccans tunisians and french people and they all knew algeria better than i did some of them mentioned the roman ruins i didn't know there were roman ruins in algeria that was a slap in the face. pushes she additionally i wanted to get a business going to create jobs to put my bit of know how to use to invest and live here but everything has fallen apart since i returned in 2014 it's not the same

algeria anymore i barely recognize it. i can't imagine growing old in algeria anymore and i'm sad i tried everything to come back and make it here but i failed i don't want to wither away here that's the word that comes to mind and it's sad but what should i say so chris that's just how it is so comes home. city more i have to do you know nigel it was my dream to live in algeria lose my house here fight for my convictions here have really spent time in the mountains of kabila. sumach but the lack of freedom makes me want to leave the country picture a normal kid to. scream the world all because i can't imagine raising children it out cheerio. i want them to grow up in a land where they feel free and can live out their dreams with a joyous

a useful view where they can have their fantasies they can express their convictions freely screamin they should be able to move freely through the world so clearly you don't know it's sad isn't it because he's very sad. i'm not your boss we all are used to consider leaving. it was a viable option for me. but if i manage to live here the way i want to drill i don't need to leave is one that i yes i'm a doctor and i want to help my fellow citizens so i'm still optimistic for seniors . of course some will say i'm naive. hearing that a lot lately. but i have faith in us if. only for a little also but. i'll say it again we're fighting for life that will get life. this is a new era in the history of algeria and as

a result of i'd like to believe it's the nicest and most important and. we're at the turn. end generation we know what we want and we won't give up they to this day i should have yeah i've been addicted to their sins become our drug. elna tool we have all the time we need. on that song we have the time. the will power and the rage we have everything we need. not. exactly. what looks good oh. i felt. oh oh oh oh oh.
