“Raise my astral body to the space
And may the angels take me to higher plains
To the density where poets are gods,
Where my poems won’t be in vain
Look at the cities from up high
And see how bright Algiers can shine ;
To tell myself that, you, where you are,
You are the most sparkling light.”
― Sins of Algiers
And may the angels take me to higher plains
To the density where poets are gods,
Where my poems won’t be in vain
Look at the cities from up high
And see how bright Algiers can shine ;
To tell myself that, you, where you are,
You are the most sparkling light.”
― Sins of Algiers
“Bouteflika: Your position was one of principle, it was very clear. Your press—Newsweek, the New York Times—were very objective on the problem. And we find that the U.S. could have stopped the Green March. The U.S. could have stopped it, or favored it.
Kissinger: That’s not true.
Bouteflika: We think on the contrary that France played a crude role. There was no delicacy, no subtlety. Bourguiba, Senghor—they tried to use what influence remained for France. Bongo. No finesse, no research.
I don’t know if this corresponds to your situation. But there are sentiments, and we were very affected because we thought it was an anti-Algerian position.
Kissinger: We don’t have an anti-Algerian position. The only question was how much to invest. To prevent the Green March would have meant hurting our relations completely with Morocco, in effect an embargo.
Bouteflika: You could have done it. You could stop economic aid and military aid.
Kissinger: But that would have meant ruining our relations with Morocco completely.
Bouteflika: No. The King of Morocco would not have gone to the Soviets.
Kissinger: But we don’t have that much interest in the Sahara.
Bouteflika: But you have interests in Spain, and in Morocco.
Kissinger: And in Algeria.
Bouteflika: And you favored one.
