“I am the son of poor peasants who came at a very young age to live in Algeria. I only recently saw the place where they were born, near the city of Marrakech.”

“The French colonisation of Algeria lasted a long time: 132 years.”

“Algeria was therefore only the beginning of something that was in development: this is why I say that it's the global capitalist system that finally reacted against us.”

“Algeria, the second-largest country in Africa, has been dogged by terrorism. But while dangers remain, they are far outweighed by the hospitality of the people.”

“In 1982, Algeria made their first appearance at the World Cup. I believe it was the first Arab country to do so.”

“Do not forget that the Arab countries, starting with Algeria and Egypt, are the ones that have paid the heaviest toll because of Islamic terror.”
