Algeria

A co-founder of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) in 1954 died in exile in Switzerland on December 23, 2015. Thousands of people attended the funeral of Hocine Ait Ahmed in his home village named after him in Berber-dominated region of Algeria.

Algeria's next presidential elections will be held on 17 April 2014 and for the last few months; this important electoral rendezvous showed all the hallmarks of a masquerade, consistent with almost all the elections in the history of the Algerian state since independence in 1962.

The official announcement on 22 February that Abdelaziz Bouteflika will now run for a fourth term as Algerian president in the 17 April election has sent one more shockwave through the society.

In the last two years, several articles and analyses have attempted to decrypt Algeria’s ambiguous position toward Western imperialist interventions in Libya and Mali.

With Algeria’s president recovering in a Paris hospital from a mini-stroke, observers are questioning his continued ability to govern and whether he will run again in the next elections scheduled for May 2014.

The gathering will take place on Monday, April 15th in front of HSBC private bank (78 st James Street, SW1A 1EJ), that will be hosting the Algerian Minister of Energy: Mr Youcef Yousfi.
