A Dr Jamal Nassar would hate it that Abdelaziz Boutefika prevents the growth of Algeria's radical muslim population

   Algeria is never in the news like it once was as Algerian President Abdelaziz Boutefika's regime has done an effective job of applying a longer tenure as he is now into his fourth term as president. he has successfully amended the constitution of Algeria and one of the much vaunted amendments concerns making Tamazight an official language of the country. This is the native Berber tongue of the Berber population and this language was the established language before Muslims from Arabia conquered this land and set up a new Arab ruling class bringing in new peoples to dominate north Africa. A Jamal Nasser who I had the displeasure of sitting through several Mideast college courses effectively glanced over this period of Middle Eastern history to this day and would likely continue to ignore this rift between Arabic-speakers and Tamazight speakers in North Africa. Dr Nassar likely would say this division is nothing but the construct of Europeans long accustomed to the divide and conquer mentality much as the Arabs took advantage in their initial conquests to spread the filth known as Islam. President Boutefika has also determined to come down and ban dual citizenships. These dual-nationals have more often than not behaved like all those looking to capitalize on the country's vast wealth and potential while refusing to share in the risky setting-up phase of project construction. At the first hurdle, like their foreign counterparts, they pack up and leave, often emptying Algerian banks of much-needed foreign currency. Algeria's dual nationals appear to want their cake and eat it while complaining when officialdom seeks to gather the crumbs. The fact that a Dr Nassar long quit blaming the elites in the Muslim world for the own cause of their peoples misery and their misinformation on gaining educational training over Koranic training as more important in life. a Dr Jamal Nassar would hate Abdelaziz Boutefika's fourth term as leader of Algeria and his ability to amend the constitution because it prevents the hardliner terrorists from gaining traction and spreading death and destruction in the name of Allah and a unity of Islamic supremacy that a Dr Nassar actually believes in and wishes to see in his wise ass world viewpoint.
