Algeriaâs opposition Socialist Forces Front (FFS) called yesterday for a boycott of a planned Sept. 29 referendum on a draft national reconciliation charter, saying it would âconsecrate impunityâ for atrocities committed in the north African countryâs civil war. The FFS âcannot endorse a text that glorifies force and deprecates political mediation, consecrates impunity and amnesty, and in the end negotiates away pain and suffering,â the FFS said in a statement.
