J'ai trouvé un article sur Maktoob qui m'a couté un " arrêt net " nécessaire. Le comble c'est qu'il est tout frais. Il annonce que le Président Bouteflika a obtenu un pourcentage intéressant parc qu’il a simplement amendé la constitution qui existe depuis la colonisation française. Je n'ai pas compris et j'ai essayé de dialoguer sur cette affirmation, mais sans succès, Maktoob ferme la voix, y compris l'accès à ma boite, qui me permet de discuter en arabe.
Je n'ai pas essayé de les mordre; mais seulement de confirmer que l'amendement s'il a aidé n'a pas porté sur la constitution coloniale mais sur une constitution Algérienne post- indépendance. De plus, ces élections sont le résultat d'une collusion entre l'appui de communautés à l'étranger, mais surtout l'appui du peuple malgrè le large mouvement de boycott. Parce que ce peuple aspire à une vie ou la justice et la démocratie soient respectés. Que nos jeunes vivent sans la terrible ombre policière( de la torture) qui divise entre algériens laïques et algérien religieux, que la scolarité et l'université soient les seuls garantes du succès social et non le népotisme- noms familiaux et affiliation- outre les relations des proches. Le Président Bouteflika a gagné cette confiance après les terribles menaces des crises qui ont jalonné les deux mandats précédents, outre la maladie et les blocages internes. Si le modèle Algérien- bravoure, fatuité ou mollesse- ne présente pas l'idéal démocratique international; il consacre l'image d'une nation déchirée et jalousée qui renait de ses cendres. Ce que le peuple qui a accordé sa confiance attend, c'est une justice et une politique qui se tourne vers les attentes des masses, en matière d'éducation, d'emploi et de logement. Que Le Président soit fidèle à cette confiance est seul garant d'une alliance entre les masses et la direction politique. Cette confiance accordée à la Présidence du pays sera plus affirmée avec des législatives et des communales dont les résultats totalement libres doivent être, plus proches des choix multiples des masses à même de garantir un équilibre dans un pays qui doit absolument renaitre de ses cendres et ouvrir ses voies à toutes les tendances sociales sans exclusion.
HOPEfully.

President Abdelaziz Bouteflika was handed a new five-year mandate

Friday after official results showed he won 90 percent of votes in an

Algerian election boycotted by much of the opposition.

The 72-year-old, who changed the ex-French colony's constitution to

allow himself a third run at the presidency, won with 90.24 percent of

votes cast in the oil-rich north African nation, Interior Minister Yazid

Zerhouni announced.

"Abdelaziz Bouteflika received 12,911,707 of the votes cast," said

Zehrouni, adding that turnout was 74.54 percent.

Louisa Hanoune, the only woman candidate and leader of the

Trotskyite Workers' Party (PT), trailed in a distant second with 4.22

percent.

None of the other four candidates received more than 2.5 percent of

votes.

However, even before the results had been announced, the

opposition candidates said the election had been marred by voter

intimidation and disputed the turnout figure given by state radio.

Thursday's vote was held amid intense security with Algerian authorities

trying to get to grips with an insurgency by radical Islamists.

The head of Al-Qaeda's branch in North Africa called on Algerians to

boycott the election in an audio message posted on an Islamist

website on Monday.

The atmosphere appeared tense in the capital on voting day and

armed Islamic extremists injured two police officers in a bomb blast

around 50 kilometres (30 miles) east of Algiers, locals told AFP.

Bouteflika, first elected in 1999, was to have stood down at the

election, but he provoked outrage among opposition parties by

proposing an amendment to the constitution which was

rubber-stamped by parliament in November.

The secular Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD) party, one of the

main opposition groups, denounced what it called a "constitutional

coup" and refused to take part in the "pathetic" election.

"Participating in such a competition would be tantamount to complicity

in an operation of national humiliation," said RCD president Said Sadi as

he announced the boycott in January.

Bouteflika also won the last election in 2004 by a landslide, with official

results giving him 84.99 percent of votes cast.

As well as Hanoune, Djahid Younsi of the moderate Islamist El-Islah

party, Moussa Touati of the Algerian National Front (FNA), Ali Fawzi

Rebaine of the AHD-54 nationalist party, and independent Mohamed

Said appeared on the ballot.

Ahead of the official announcement, Touati told AFP the turnout figure

appeared to be "exaggerated" while Younsi's campaign manager also

said the official participation level had been inflated.

Said meanwhile said the vote had been blighted by fraud while

Rebaine denounced voter "intimidation" and other irregularities.

Despite the criticism, the head of an observer mission from the Arab

League gave the ballot a clean bill of health. Chadli Nefati said the

organisation had been "beyond reproach" and voting had taken place

in a calm atmosphere.

As well as the Arab League team, Algeria also invited observers from

the African Union and the Organisation of the Islamic Conference.

There were no Western observers.
