| 2011-02-11 |
[Ennahar] I advise the authorities of the country to present concrete solutions to the gangs to encourage them to return to normal life. I am innocent of any harm caused to the lives of Algerians. It was with these words that addressed us Sheikh Hachemi Sahnoun, a leader of the Islamist movement and a former activist of the Islamic Front of salvation (FIS) dissolved during his visit to the headquarters of Ennahar. Sheikh Sahnoun clarified that he had expressed this view twenty years ago and that it is what he always thinks; the lives of Algerians are sacred, they are Mohammedans and he who undermines the Mohammedans undermines Islam. Sheikh Sahnoun appealed to the authorities to take real action to rectify the backlog and push residues of gangs to join civilian life, blaming the bureaucracy of hindering the process of casework. The authorities of the country, he said, must take the step and give and present concrete solutions to the armed elements. "If we wanted to deal with the security issue, it should be a comprehensive work and not partial," he added. The delay in the execution of judgments by certain parties is, according to him, the real obstacle to the achievement of reconciliation. The issue of compensation must also be addressed, victims of the black decade, he said, did not receive compensation and are swinging between the administration and security services, their records are not yet regulated, as for instance, Abdelbari, a leader of the Salafist Group (GSPC), who surrendered at the same period than Hassan Hattab, the GSPC National leader. And this is just a drop in the ocean of obstacles, according to the sheikh who considers necessary the removal of constraints and resolving their situations. The current leader of the Salafist group says he can not call the forces of Evil to surrender if the state does not present concrete proposals that would ensure their lives and ensure their return to civilian life. The imprisoned forces of Evil demand the release in exchange for their signing of a charter of honor. Sheikh Sahnoun said that prisoners sentenced to death or to life imprisonment in cases of terrorism are convinced of the charter for peace and national reconciliation. They wish to rejoin civilian life and asked him to bring their voices to officials asking them to release them, in return, they would sign a charter of honor, never to return to armed activities. |
