Time is come to stop wasting Algeria ressources by illegetimate governments.
Acountability, transparency are comming for sure, sonner or later
Lessons learned from what is happening in North-Africa Middle East:
1. Democratize or Perish : Algerian People is mature for democracy and will not accept less than democracy.
2. Invest in the capacity building, modernization and industrialization of Algeria in order to create jobs for young Algerians.
3. A new democratic liberal constitution, a new elected President, a New elected Parliament, A new elected Senat.
4. Teach Government officers, Army and Police at all levels to respect and serve citizens. It is their "reason d'etre."
5. Reform the eduaction system and adopt international standards, inculcate the culture of democracy earlier in pupils at schools . . .
6. Acountability and transparency in all public affairs(financial issues.)
7. Inprove the healthcare quality everywhere in Algeria(including in remote villages.)
8. Set up a modern technological army to defend Algeria from enemies who are everywhere, and build a miltary industry.
9. Let Algerians work, innovate and produce, through the creation of thousands of small to middle size compagnies.
10. perform 1 to 9 before it is late
