By God, I live in Algeria and I know that the government lies with these statements just to absorb the anger while it is enhancing it for some personal reason. Or how can we explain the monopoly of a certain category which is very small, of a million and half a million (the same number as the number of martyrs) houses and close them vacant? On the other hand, millions of Algerians are stuck in mud and slum houses. Why did the minister of solidarity hang up in the face of the reporter of Al Akhbar Al Yaoum daily when she asked him this question? Read the article guys. It was published about a month and half ago or two months in the paper. You will know the truth. Thank you.
