The JDD. “We do not want war with Algeria, it is Algeria that attacks us”says Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau who claims “A graduated response” Towards Algiers, if it does not want to resume its expensive nationals. Is he right?
Bernard LUGAN. He is obviously right because Algeria has been at war against France and that since 1962. It is enough to listen to the words of his national anthem … The Minister Retailleau does not have an easy task because he must fight in France itself, and up to the government’s pressure groups of this French left guardian guardian of the Algerian national lie. If we want to go beyond the simple description of the current situation, we must return to the story that explains everything in Algeria. The immediate cause of the acceleration of the war that Algeria leads us is that, accustomed to seeing all its memorial requirements satisfied, it has not accepted the recognition by Paris of the Moroccanity of Western Sahara which nevertheless dates back to the 11th century.
On this subject, you advocate a return of reality, citing Mohammed Harbi “So that history finally ceases to be the hell and paradise of the Algerians”. So there is a hope of reconciliation?
This sentence by Mohammed Harbi is very depth. ” Hell “ Indeed, because history shows that Algeria did not exist before 1962, hence this existential complex which inhabits its leaders and which prohibits at them any rational analysis. But, paradox, for them, this story is at the same time ” heaven “because, to forget that she is a ” hell “they made a rewarding epic artificial to which they are condemned to pretend to believe and on which the “Legitimacy” diet. As this official story presents France as being at the origin of all the problems of Algeria, as long as the generation which currently directs it will not come to the end of its biological clock, all “Reconciliation” will be impossible.
You say on the Boualem Sensal affair that“A simple virile attitude of President Macron would be enough”. What do you mean by that?
Let’s go back first to the reasons for taking the hostage of Boualam Sansal because we are there at the heart of the false Algerian history made by the FLN since 1962. With Algeria, we return, indeed, always to history, and that is why I wrote this book. Sansal has, in fact, dared to make known to the general public a truth known to serious historians, but prohibited of advertising, namely that before French colonization, the west of Algeria (Béchar, Tindouf, Tidikelt, Gourara, Saoura, Tabelbala etc.) was an integral part of Morocco and that it was France which, to create French Algeria. To further worsen his case, Boualem Sansal added that, during the War of Independence, hosted and helped diplomatically, financially and militarily by Rabat, the Algerian leaders had committed to that, once the independence obtained, be returned in Morocco from the territories which had been torn off by colonization.
Sansal dared to make known to the general public a prohibited truth of advertising
Now, after 1962, not only did Algiers not respected his word, but, even more, sparked the 1963 sand war against Morocco … It was therefore for having dared to touch the founding myth of an Algeria historically allegedly one and indivisible, crime very severely punished by the Algerian penal code, that Boualem Sansal was imprisoned. THE ” system ” Who took him hostage and who directs Algeria, cannot, in fact, tolerate the slightest attack on national historical dogma, any questioning representing, in fact, an existential threat to him.
To return to your question, as President Macron has always given way to Algeria, and as he dared to speak of colonization as a “Crime against humanity”… He is therefore very uncomfortable in this case. However, the Algerian strategy being to target the Retailleau minister by his relays in the French media, such a strategy would immediately collapse if President Macron had strong words on this subject. It is not forbidden to dream …
Triggering a violent controversy, journalist Jean-Michel Aphatie said that the French have made “Oradour” During the conquest of Algeria and that the Nazis would have been inspired by it. What about in fact?
Let us first say that the war not being a path bordered by roses, one could, for days, draw up the list of abuses or the alleged abuses committed by one or by others. It will be progressing. The most important thing is to understand that Algerian power has loyal relays in France. These dedicated and zealous auxiliaries form both the lung of parallel diplomacy of Algiers and the megaphone of its services. Heirs of “Suitcase carriers”we find among them complacent or uncultivated journalists, not to mention activists pursuing a revolutionary fight for the destruction of French society. All convey and popularize in media space the official Algerian history written since 1962 and to which the school of Benjamin Stora gives a label ” scientist “.
Controlling the university, politics and the world of the media, they have succeeded in imposing in France the exclusivity of the false history on which the “Legitimacy” Algerian power. Jean-Michel Aphatie did not invent the delusional accusation which he brought to the air. This thesis as outrageously radical as it is completely ideological and anachronistic, is, in fact, ancient. It was severely denounced by Gilbert Meynier and Pierre Vidal-Naquet-the latter, however former FLN travel companion-, who wrote about it: “Assimilate the colonial system more or less to an anticipation of the Third Reich, or even a ‘‘worrying previous” From Auschwitz, is a fraudulent ideological company (…) We do not see why the bloody repression of the revolt of Spartacus, or even Saint-Barthélemy, would not have announced it as much … in history, it is dangerous to mix everything. (…) Can a nonsense take the place of work of reflection and historical synthesis? »»
