The results demonstrate that Algerian people consider Islamists as “all bark but no bite”, and that “Islamists” have to be understood in another way and treated like mere highway bandits. We have come a long way from the 7th century invasion, and now we have to live harmoniously with our neighbours and friends, we should think about the construction of the AMU, the education of the new generations, so that they can live in the best conditions as well as participate more actively in the construction of the country, and we should allow managers, executives and others living abroad to come back to their homeland and to contribute to make a fresh start on development. Ahmed KADDOUR

The Algerian people is a sovereign people, they are NOT the subjects of anybody! If the UN, the EEC, the Hebrew league, the AU and the ICO, as well as the USA, Fafa and QATAR!!! ARE SATISFIED, do you really believe that our BEARDED MEN and other kinds of alcoholic losers’ OPINION will make a difference for any change?! EXCEPT for your newspaper, which LOVES to see or hear that Algeria is on fire! Of course this will be censured! As always, you are imposing your truth.

Through the careful reading of Zawaya writers, I see that the rule is to stick to a geographical area. It is done without reckoning with the reality of the political, social and economic conditions which distinguish Algeria from the rest of the Maghreb; that is, it is done without regard to the overall changes taking place, even if Algeria has unique features. Algeria experienced radical changes during the period of independence that touched all popular categories. It was the leader in carrying out constitutional work after fighting for nearly a century and a quarter of a century on its own. It did not care for the conditional support of our brothers; this empowered Algeria to reach excellence in its political development and its ability to confront the French forces of evil within a purely political framework. During the unilateral ideological approach, mouths were not shut to the extent that we have seen in the Arab region. By returning to documents, folders and minutes of meetings, we find that diversity of thought and subjective discourse indicated a sense of freedom of expression in spite of the limited horizon. At the party level, there were innovative ideas that could be contrary to the text or the document, but served the general spirit of the political theses of the State. The first three decades of independence were characterized by a type of political contraction, which was tied to the objectives of the Project of the National Public. In 1976, the National Charter was a curriculum followed by the State, where all participated in a dialogue that was not possible in neighbouring countries. This dialogue covered issues ranging from Islam to socialism to individual liberty, education and the project of a community in terms of identity and citizenship, and its other components. This was no small feat considering that the percentage of illiteracy in 1962 was more than 95 percent. After the completion of the first three decades of independence, Algeria entered a stage where it was a pioneer in the rapid acceptance of change following the demise of bipolarity and the transformation of the world to unilateralism. No wonder that a regional force like Algeria would be affected by power shifts, which made headway whether in a positive or negative way toward currents and growth of ideas with different sources and references. The important fact is that the country’s democracy saw the emergence of parties from the right and the left, and also Islamic-oriented parties — especially the Muslim Brotherhood with the FIS.

It entered local and state elections and accounted for more than 50 percent of the seats. Then the curtailed flight and the legislations which led to the tragedy that befell the country and the people and decimated green and dry and neighbors. Our eastern brothers are issuing religious edicts authorizing this and providing support in humanitarian form sometimes and Islamic at other times in the name of scientific Salafism. This salafism is nested in the Holy Sites. Today the elections are conducted without falling into the trap of fallacies played by the Arab spring in Algeria. But we, dear readers and if you are honest, must understand that the people in Algeria will not be instigated by foreign oppressive forces regardless of our differences. You must understand that the current Muslim Brotherhood does not have the geographic reach that was cheered by so many. The Muslim Brotherhood trend punished itself when it connived with the system in the alliance. The Islamic discourse of all factions, has become boring to the general public. The Brotherhood movement in Tunisia or Morocco or Libya was not tested by the people yet. Writers should distance themselves from talking about matters outside their geographical area and the advice is of no value if the request is not coming from those who need advice as per brother Ghannouchi

Liberation Front, we are committed to you, be my witness, be my witness, be my witness. It was, still is and will remain forever

The elections are rigged

That is good.

In the name of God the Merciful. I was hoping not to get involved in this dialogue, because the internal affairs of a beloved neighbour is a matter of sovereignty. The little contradictory information, which I picked up were not enough to give us the courage of an opinion, or a corret opinion backed by proof. So I say again, the discourses were not free from ideologies, lobbies and power. The game of democracy has its shortcomings and as long as the ballot boxes cannot speak they will inevitably result in controversial outcomes, study and be glorified too. With regard to the post-election period, I have read a bold comment that was not without great rejoice of nationalism and patriotism, raising the height of my dreams. Then I said, when will the nation be larger than what we dream for? When will our nation be cherished by those who love us and can fill our gaps and protect our lands and honours? I will feel more proud when I see the barriers between the brothers knocked down and I can enter the land of my ancestors regardless of the documents made available to me to enjoy this right or this generosity. We were people of pride before we were expelled from our palaces that are still statuesque, palaces whose soil we do not dream of smelling. Who among us can tell me about my right with regard to that dream and who can give me hope… give me the dream of crossing the tens of kilometers which prevent me from entering the land of my ancestors and just smelling its soil. Until this great event takes place. May God preserve the elections of the sister states. We look forward to prospects higher than names and to heroes who can carve their names in the pages of history as they break the boundaries made by colonialism. Colonialism had a careful plan to sow sedition and discord. We ended up holding to the yard and coveting another one and we increased the thickness of the boundary separating us and made it taller.

Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah. The topic of unemployment should be addressed and we should also alleviate its repercussions by all means

No comment. Everything is clear and understood

Surprising to hear some say that the elections were rigged, given that there were representatives of the political parties in every polling stations and centres. One should participate and follow before criticising.

The Algerian elections were free and fair and the FLN deserves it, five in your eyes(may the evil eye return to you)

Nice.

Long live Algeria, period!

We Algerians do not understand anything. Everyone is pulling to his side instead of seeking the national interest.

Mr. President, I don’t know what the Constitution says about the election of the NPA’s President, but he must be elected by a secret ballot. The current NPA President was elected, like usual, through raising hands, which is abnormal. Therefore, this assembly took off by failing to comply with the wishes of the people.

The Algerian elections went smoothly and with integrity. Algeria is an Arab country and part of the Arab nation. We praise Allah the Almighty because we weren’t affected by the economic crisis, which we do not need at all.

Elections in Algeria are fair and democratic. I belong to the DNA, and if there was any fraud, the DNA and its Secretary-General who is the Prime Minister, would have benefited from it. Islamists are claiming that there was fraud, but that’s not true, because the people made their choice. Algerians experienced the Islamist rule in 1990, had tried them in local elections which are very close to citizens, and saw how the Islamists separated them. Algeria is a Muslim country. We feel hurt when someone says that Islamists are in Algeria, after they won only 60 seats in the new Parliament; does that mean that they are the only Muslims and that the rest are disbelievers? How weird! Algeria was the first country to experience strife since the announcement of democracy in 1988. We are proud of our country, and we would not go as far as killing each other. Praise be to Allah, democracy exists in Algeria. There are some problems, and they are solved in the best manner. We watch and endure the events and strife in neighbouring and brotherly countries daily, and the fatwas issued against them. The lives of Arabs and Muslims have become the cheapest. Algerians are Muslim with Allah’s will. We’ve had enough of wars, and Algeria is our spring. We are forgiving towards our brothers even if they are thieves, and we do not accept foreign intervention under any circumstances. Thank you. Sahrawi Oudhina, from the municipality of Si Abdelghani Tiaret.

The question is, how can the party of a regime who is despised by its people gain the majority of votes?

Ms Anonymous, I am a proud Algerian woman. The elections were normal and fair for Algerians. We have a President who’s watching over the country, and his people who are loving, dedicated, hard-working, and striving to promote peace and comfort for Algerians. Do not question the integrity of Algerian citizens. Algeria will always be victorious and problem-free, Allah willing.

Praise be to Allah, there is no more colonialism in our country.

Algerians are well aware of their interest, and they chose security. The ballot count is accurate, and Algerians are smart. These pseudo-parties can’t even count, so they should stay at home. Greetings.

I know many Islamists who have palaces and luxury cars, so where did they get all that money from?

Algerian elections were normal, but they were amplified by the authorities and the media given the current circumstances in the Arab world.

Long live Algeria. I will cherish my country—despite all its mistakes—in my heart.

Long live Algeria.

May Allah have mercy on us! My country is heading towards a dark tunnel, may Allah protect it! Algerian leaders hate the Algerian people!

Who came up with the expression “falsification of the elections in Algeria”? Was it nationals or NATO agents? We congratulate the descendant of the liberation army on this overwhelming victory. This indicated the political mood of Algerians who love the Liberation Front and their President.

I hope that whatever happened in the elections aimed to preserve Algeria. Whoever doesn’t realise that our country is targeted is dead. Our only option is to work hard and respect the will of the martyrs. Algeria is under siege, can’t you see……………………..?

Algeria is fine.

THE ALGERIAN PEOPLE CHOSE FREELY THE WAY THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW. LET THE WORLD SAY WHAT IT WILL.

Who claims that Algerians are fools is a fool himself

This election shows the truth of the system. It will not change until means of clinging to positions, mocking and manipulation of people in order to retain positions of power are changed.

Whether the election is forged or not is not your business you slaves of America and Israel. You wanted an Arab spring and you got it and the result: nothing appeared. Up till now killing rape and theft ……. We thank God, Algeria is still standing with its intelligent people and we are not stupid like you and those who want Arab Spring we will send it to you to help you

I have no doubt that the one saying – Long live Algeria – justified or not – with the exception of spontaneous people: – is a hating racist who is making this statement for himself only trying to reap interests and privileges, and collecting worldly goods and confiscating freedoms, as if Algeria belongs only to him and the like but not to the other. And I am confident that when the going gets tough and the situation changes, he and his cohorts will cheer – Long live France – and long live others and so on… Their matter is strange as if they were born to change colors like a chameleon. I whisper in the ears of every one of them: Stop gabbing and do not speak on behalf of Algeria and on behalf of people for goals that are to say the least dirty. And then I draw their attention to stop spreading sedition and distinction between the members of one society by labeling people Islamists, bearded men and Salafists and other … fundamentalists … Etc. Strangely, he defames Muslims, but could not yet identify himself and couldn’t even determine his sex whether he is male, female, or hermaphrodite. He probably shaves his face to turn like a woman or she wear pants and shaves her head to turn into a male. This is my conviction and what I mean is not directed to vulnerable people and I hope they will be held accountable before judged.

The Algerian elections were the fairest parliamentary elections in the history of all Arabs.

Arab springs were not triggered by Islamist movements. On the contrary, the Islamists took advantage of the revolutionaries’ carnival to come under the spotlight thanks to the media. Let’s now take a look at what’s happening in Tunisia, Egypt, and Libya; each group is aspiring to its dogma in the name of Islam, as if we were all infidels “in their eyes”. May Allah the Merciful preserve us from sedition regardless of its source.

I am telling whoever thinks Algerians will bow to the hearsay of the igniters of strife: You are wrong, my enemy. Our people sacrificed one and a half million martyrs for the freedom they enjoy today, and they are proud of that. It won’t be easy for you to come back, as the toll will be heavy… You will have to fight against 42 million Algerians who won’t accept anything but freedom and dignity, for which they gave their lives. Long live Algeria, and glory and eternity for our righteous martyrs. An Algerian who cares about his country…

THE ALGERIAN ELECTIONS ARE A DISGRACE

Algeria has a defensive wall and a strong shield; its sons are wise, and its anger is ruthless. So don’t ever think about hurting it, poor enemies.

Thank you very much!

Salaam aleikoum… My name is Bachir… And, in order to appeal to my country, which is not just any country, and to congratulate it, I give my name, because it is about my country, Algeria, it is about Algeria… the Algeria of the ancestors, who were not Harkis, and the Algeria of 1945, which must not be forgotten, and Algeria today, with its political leaders, during the elections they were transparent, with much respect towards the political parties, they are really bad, they are persistently absent and, as soon as there is a vote, there is “tchipa” for them… Then they are all there, even the new ones (coyotes) who do not look like politicians but like merchants… One should call a spade a spade… Our dear president sacrificed his health to build a better Algeria : thank you Sir, a thousand times… He worked hard to keep Algeria “up to date”… For OUR DEAR, the unique… Our first love, that we should not forget… As the clever man said, old enemies are better than a new friend… So I would say long live Algeria… Salaam aleikoum… NB. It is my opinion… Bachir…

An old saying from home: May God increase the number of idiots so the shrewd can live. These poor sires who are taking us for a ride will suffer the same fate as Gadhafi and his family. “God will wait but will not ignore.”

Algerians, without exception, whether you like it or not, scream or stay silent, have no choice but to have a military system, as well as the front of traitors and a thousand humiliations and the system applies the proverb (starve your dog and he will follow you)… A humiliated Algerian from the state of Boumerdes, a former member of the national gendarmerie

Peace be upon you. I hope that Muslims will not misjudge Islam, because it’s definitely our savior, sooner or later, whether we like it or not, and everywhere in the world. Islam is a comprehensive religion that covers all aspects of life. By reviewing history, you will realize that the Prophet – peace and prayers be upon him – and the Caliphes after him never separated religion and worldly affairs. Also, they did not confine religion to worship, as it is also about relationships (“religion is about social relationships”), the judiciary, Shura, war and treaties. Whoever separates this religion and his worldly affairs has to review his position before it is too late. It is unfair to associate Islam with the actions of humans for whom errors, forgetfulness and inadvertence are innate. Please correct your concepts. Try to live a single day without Islam, regardless of the acts of worship; try, for example, to abstain from feeding your children, to lie, or to hurt your neighbor. Will that be a deed or a sin? And you claim separating religion and life including politics? May God forgive me! BBG

Algeria is fine, but it has traitors.

The Liberation Front is very famous. What matters is that the Islamists don’t win, because they are a bunch of people who claim adhering to Islam, and seek to destroy the nation under its cover. We are all Muslims, and our religion doesn’t call for killing women, children and the elderly, or instilling fear in the heart of the Umma that gave its blood to the nation until it delivered itself from colonisers, brotherly neighbours and even countrymen. May Allah always bless us with safety.

Believe me, I still cannot understand this sneak opposition. – We only see this opposition during the elections. – This opposition haggles with the regime in power behind the scenes, then makes a fuss and claims that there was fraud as soon as the results are announced. – This opposition took part in, and approved, all the control mechanisms put in place to ensure perfect transparency; and now it questions the election results. – As soon as the results are announced, this opposition hastens to take part in round-table discussions on foreign television channels (Arab or not) known for hating Algeria, its people and its leaders. – This opposition threatens to boycott both the government and NPA committees, then hastens to carry out the needed formalities (under the control of the administration they disapprove) in order to receive the benefits of their positions as deputies.
Gentlemen; the people voted and made their choice, so let the elected individuals do their job.

I do not support any regime because I am an anarchist, but Algeria is different from the rest of the Maghreb. The country had 7 presidents since its independence, unlike other Maghreb countries where governors cling to power. Moreover, Algeria had its Spring in the late eighties, and endured its scourges alone, while its neighbours were laughing at its misfortune and waiting for its collapse. If Algerians want a revolution, it should be theirs, emanating from their free will, and not dictated by others; the Algerian revolution should not be directed by the U.S., mediated by the Gulf and implemented by internal and external agents. This is the tip of the iceberg. If you repeat (the crime) We shall repeat (the punishment, or worse). I hope that my message is understood. Mercenaries must stay away from a nation that has been immune to enemies. Peace upon you.

Algeria is strong, and the elections were not rigged. Whoever says anything about Algeria will regret it.

I love Arabs, especially Kabyles, “A”, “Z”, and the FLN of yesterday and today. See you.

The elections were rigged in such a malicious way that nobody could discover this vote rigging, performed by the governing bodies which will never give power to the people, because their interests cannot be affected. They are the ones who control money, they are ready to kill most of Algerian people to protect their interests. They are well prepared (passports, accounts abroad, even their children study abroad…). ان الله لا يغير و ما بانفسهم. بقوم حتى يغيرو ما

Despite its energy and human resources, Algeria is still struggling due to the attachment of senior parliamentarians to power despite being on the brink of a pit of fire; these officials are fighting for positions despite lacking the required qualifications. Qualified people are wandering in the streets, fighting problems, and resorting to suicide because the elections allegedly aiming for change and a paradigm shift, are decided by the authorities. Perhaps soon, with Allah’s will, it will create a liberation. No to oppression; yes to peace and Islam without chaos. As for the Islamists, this is what they wanted. If they think this the right thing, then let them bring change. I am reiterating, no to oppression. We want to be free and without constraints in our country. There is much to say. Peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy. Finally, I am urging you to take care of Algeria.

I have no opinion, all of this is useless, politics, elections, it is just stage work, it makes no sense ; we should try not to think about it too much and not to bother ourselves with it because it is useless.

They are 100% rigged.

Why doesn’t the NLF display its affiliation to the socialist and secularist trend like all socialist parties do worldwide? Why doesn’t the Workers Party led by Louiza Hanoun display its affiliation to Trotskyist communism (Trotsky is a Russian Jew from the former USSR) and to secularism like all communist parties do worldwide? What is the NRD’s ideology, communist or socialist? It’s liberal, although it’s also secular for sure. How about these new parties expanding the list, what is their ideology? Only the Islamists display their trend in Algeria, which proves that people do not avoid Islam and are not afraid of it! Do Algerians dislike communist, socialist and secular ideas? Is this why they are not displayed openly and publicly? During this electoral campaign, the majority of women who attended party meetings were veiled or wore headscarves; this is normal when it’s an Islamist meeting, but how can we explain their presence in a secular, socialist or communist party? Opacity and ignorance have been blending well for a long time. The secularists play the religious card: They start their discourses with BISSMALLAH (in the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, etc…) and end it with El hamdoulilleh rabi el aalamine (praise be to Allah Lord of the worlds)! As the Algerian metaphor goes, a stork living in a country of animals! As long as opacity and ignorance are prevailing, there is still much to be done. Bon appétit, ladies and gentlemen (let’s be fair, men are not the only ones who eat). hahahahahahahaha!

When I went with my mother to vote, she suggested that we rip the ballot paper, but I refused. So we went and we didn’t vote.

The Algerian elections are totally rigged. This has always been the case for generations.

Peace upon you. Forgery, alteration and destruction are inherited from one generation to another in Algeria. This does not apply only to the elections, but also to all aspects of life. This is what international terrorism has achieved. Does it make sense to keep hiding behind the mistakes of the FLN since the independence? The people are hypnotised in the name of fighting drugs, although the latter are being sold like chips. Maybe we are deceived, but one day Algerians will be enlightened and wake up from their slumber to recover. The Algerian youth are aware of the cheating, but where to escape? Whether you like it or not, Algeria has the following motto: we lead our own country, and no useful decisions come from you. What a shame, an administration without decisions. I will not be satisfied just by saying all this, I also have to struggle for Algeria to restore its freedom, as we are still living under colonialism. Dear Algerian people, when will you seek peaceful change? We no longer want to stay behind developed nations. In conclusion, beware of this youth, because they are aware despite the anesthesia and the numbing they are subjected to; one day, you will fall and lose all your friends and supporters. A girl from Algeria, 19 years old.

Instead of meditating on what’s happening around us, and learning from the numerous examples throughout the (Arab) world in order to protect ourselves from interference, we continue to insult each other, thus becoming the laughingstock of the world.

We were the frontrunners of democracy in the Arab world around the end 1988. Unfortunately, we are now in the rear. It’s unfortunate for the blood that flowed and the price that was paid due to the lack of a conscious political class at the top of the pyramid of power in dealing with internal crises, “like in Egypt and Tunisia.” This matter is due to influential people, thieves and ignorant. They cannot even take care of their needs, let alone conduct a state such as Algeria. My brothers, I think these figures, which we have become accustomed to since 1962, are incompetent because the prospects and aspirations of people in power who are over 75 do not correspond with a country mostly made of young people. Many competencies are marginalized. Some argue, they have experience in management, yet the wise can see the results of their management. I see the elections as a “Carnival” and poking fun at people. In our sister county Tunisia, political and military people agreed to protect the country. Everyone is involved in the political deal agreed. In a period I consider short, elections were held and the ballot has spoken in favour of people we love or hate and not, as we have here and as the saying goes, “I show only what I see.” We have a Prime Minister supervising elections where his party is a participant. As well as the official representative of the President of the Republic, who won with 5 percent of the votes. He is the first and the President of the Constitutional Council is appointed by the President of the Republic as an employee. When results were challenged by the quasi-independent electoral council, no one paid attention to their comments, even the simple ones. If they want to have integrity and transparency, by God, we can have that because it is like “making a nuclear bomb.” So, there is no harm in learning from brothers and friends and applying what we learn here and if the ballot (the system) rewards, then that’s fine and if not they have to rise and kick out the military. The role of the military is to protect the country and the people, not fight the people in a war that everyone is loosing.

looooooooool

Whether you rigged them or not, that’s not my business.

Algeria’s ruling party has not learned democracy yet; it considers itself the strongest and most suitable party, and does not accept others, and that will lead to political and social occlusion. One day these criminals will pray for death and won’t die. May Allah protect the beloved Algeria from all evil and from these tyrants. Amen.

I love my country Algeria. I only have God and my beloved country Algeria. Allah has always protected our homeland, and I’m sure that He will always protect it. No country is as beautiful as ours. Long live independent Algeria. Don’t forget our martyrs in paradise.

There are neither elections in Algeria nor democracy as long as cheating runs through the veins of few crooks inside a flock of sheep. Nothing will change until they turn to a pride of lions. Comment by B-K W H H from Algeria

Algerians are free to think or do whatever they want. The Algerian people had their say on May 10th, and chose their representatives freely and democratically. We don’t want anybody to interfere with our internal affairs. We gave our blood to this pure land during the popular resistance led by the Prince Abdul-Qader, our revolution for freedom on November 1954 against the French enemy, and our resistance against terrorism. Algerians are absolutely free. We don’t need any lessons from you. Long live Algeria, and glory and immortality to our righteous martyrs.

Did you see the movie CHRONICLE OF THE SMOLDERING YEARS (Chronique des années de braise) ??? It really reflects the mentality of ALGERIAN PEOPLE, don’t worry, you “do it yourself” philosophers, when the time comes, our mother country will wake up and, like a sphynx, will reduce to ashes all of those rapacious people, those so-called legitimate revolutionaries, those opportunists, because the glorious story of our country brings some significant events to mind : the Berber Spring of 1980, October 1988, the black decade. We had our share of misfortunes and sufferings and, when the time comes, the transition will take place, in a peaceful and thoughtful way certainly, and democracy will become a reality, because our PRESIDENT said it very clearly in his speech on the eve of the 10th MAY elections EDJENANE TABE…
