Visit during which he made a crazy comparison between the case of Kosovo and the Sahara. Comparison that unmasked Algeria’s policy of double standards in its alleged doctrine of support for the right of peoples to self-determination. A right, it should be remembered, of which the Algerian people themselves are deprived by the dictatorial power of the generals’ regime.
