Algeria ready to help Libya face bubonic plague threat
2009-06-29
Algeria is ready to help Libya face the outbreak of bubonic plague, "if it asks for that," Echorouk quoted Health Minister Said Barkat as saying on Sunday (June 28th) during an inspection visit to Oran. The minister added that Algeria is secured from "the spread of the disease, due to intensified prevention measures in the provinces" along the common border. In early June, Libyan health authorities reported 13 cases of plague near Tobruk.

Algeria needs to start by taking care of itself. It is attacked by the plague of corruption, which is only worsened by the cholera that is the dictatorship.

There is a plague in Libya? I saw my lawyer before responding. He told me that anything I write will be used against me and that I will have no alibi. And, since necessity is law here, I will be renouncing my clean criminal record, my head and all my legal fees.

We Algerians have a very short attention span. We had typhoid two years ago. So, we need to mind our own mess first of all, okay?

This pandemic resurges in this region every century. As to the statement that Libya is poor, I say to the author of the comment, Libya isn't poor. Libya is a free country. The poor is the person who has a prison under his palace and not the one who is affected by a pandemic it can fight. Libya was tested by God with this pandemic, those who died are martyrs. If you don't know, you're the only one who us poor my sister Lilia. An advice, leave Libya to its own business because we know you all try (all Arab leaders and their followers) to turn Libya into a new Iraq. But you won't achieve this.
