Bouteflikas departure should be seen as a victory

"President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to leave his post before the term of office will expire on april 28 – something that Algerietkännaren Inga Brandell think is important to appease the people's anger."

"– It should of course be seen as a kind of victory."

"the News that president Abdelaziz Bouteflika will step down from the post he has held since 1999 indicates that the internal circuit before the outbreak of the crisis supported him now have come up with a compromise. It considers No Brandell, professor emerita of political science at Södertörn university, who devoted much of his research on Algeria."

"– Perhaps it has reached an agreement to follow the Bouteflikas plan, but that he is still on the record. That there will be any sort of interim arrangement with a national conference before holding the elections."

"the Problem with such a solution would be to"

"– They do not want to have an election with candidates they do not know and who do not have come out of this powerful national movement. The people are asking for a big cleanup."

"TT: What do you see as the alternative?"

"– It may ask, but those in power stand a little bit with your back against the wall. What would be required is that persons who are not tainted by having been in power for the last few years, as corrupted and as earned money, come forward to convene the national conference, with proposals on a new election, " says Inga Brandell."

"– But the news of his departure will, of course, be seen as a kind of victory, now leaves his self. It is also important that he resigns before the term of office expires, his previous notice that it would be extended aroused very strong reactions in people, " says Inga Brandell."
