I choose the same thing and we start all over. I hope that we are not going to start all over by reapplying the same policies, especially, for example, those concerning the affair with the Western Sahara, which has put the brakes on any positive developments towards the Arab Maghreb Union. Separating Morocco from its Sahara will never be acceptable to anyone of good faith in the Maghreb who seriously thinks about the creation of the Arab Maghreb Union (UMA) The Algerian president is at the end of his career and about to kick the bucket. Such is life. All the better for him to make a courageous and constructive decision for the future, something that will go down in the history books for the future generations. This is what history will remember from his journey on earth.

President Bouteflika could leave his name in golden letters on the Book of Life if he would take his courage in both hands and recognise the Moroccan-ness of the Sahara or, at least, if he would work seriously without politicking like a politico, or if he would work on finding a solution for the brave people to this false problem, threatening the future of the region, or if he opted for peace and the rapprochement of the people of the Maghreb within an Arab Maghreb Union (UMA), an ambitious project for the future that was stillborn because of narrow-minded personal planning and individualistic ambitions for the immediate future. A word to the wise! -Bye
