I am very happy to learn the good news about a female general. This is a great honour. Thank you, Mr President, for the interest you have shown in Algerian women. Congratulations Fatma-Zohra! Long live Algeria! Long live President Bouteflika! May God protect him and, God willing, grant him a long life.

Women are supposed to have a sixth sense and are in general more humane and wiser than men. Given that this general is more courageous than her male colleagues and is promoting inter-Maghreb relations towards a union and solidarity, she is far from making fake problems, having personal ambitions and seeking out of subjects that divide us instead of unite us. What if we were to turn the keys of the government over to women so that they could govern the country and the peoples of the Maghreb??? To this day, male governance has shown a lot of clumsiness and has led to deadlocks that undermine the common future of the region. A word to the wise! -Bye

Congratulations to the first woman promoted to the rank of general in Algeria! Rights are strength, and strength is competency, which nothing can stop when you want to realise your goals.
