Algeria - Killing And Disappearing In Camera
'Without intense pressure from the international community, the silent tragedy that has befallen ordinary Algerians will continue with even more blood, deaths and torture. There is a strong democratic opposition inside the country that needs outside support. The American and British governments who seem so moved by the plight of the Iraqis at the hands of Saddam Hussein have failed to show the slightest degree of empathy for Algerians who are enduring the same dreadful plight at the hands of their dictators and terrorists. Even worse, both governments have lifted the ban on arms sales imposed on Algeria at the beginning of the 1990s, despite their knowledge of the reality that is well documented by such highly respected organizations as Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch or Reporters Sans Frontieres. However, if tomorrow, the Algerian Generals dare to step out of what is deemed by Washington and London to be the right path for Third World dictators, Colin Powell and Tony Blair will not hesitate one second to produce voluminous dossiers about the “Beasts of Algiers” who torture, disappear, kill and massacre “their own people”.'
