It is for everyone who is not fully satisfied with the way in which things work and how society works; it is for people who like to be challenged intellectually. I would like to believe there are a vast number of people who fall into this category so I am not really aiming at a certain gender or age group.
People are now more aware of current affairs and more cluedup to other minor international
communities. The only question is have they been taught the truth and from reliable sources?
It is a simple message indeed: Letting people know the whole truth even if its taste is bitter. I would like to inform my readers and hope that my book can be the catalyst for their thinking moving forward to finding the answers to so many unanswered questions. I have used some shock tactics and some humour to lift the mood of some of the graveness of the issues that I deal with.
I never envisaged myself writing a book. Numerous factors contributed and pushed me to write and enter this
wonderful world, which only writers are aware of.
It was a big personal privilege to accomplish this book; relief to express feelings that have persecuted me all my life. It was almost therapeutic putting my thoughts from pen to paper and then bringing them to life.
At the age of twentyfive, I began to drive the first ideas of revolution away from my head. Algeria had just come out of colonial rule yet boasted a government no better than the previous one, in fact worse. I could never bring myself to accept the socialist/communist rule, with its added big dose of dictatorship too! I began a movement that led to the courts sentencing me to death in my absence in ’86. In '90 there was an amnesty on political convicts so, believing that I would be safe, I returned to live in my homeland only to realise that it was a trap. I made sure my family were safely back in the UK before I fled too. But my troubles did not end there. In '93 the Algerians again tried to smear my name. They accused me of an attack on an airport where many died and claimed I was being sponsored by the British authorities. I found all of this fascinating as I was watching the plot unravel in front of me on my TV.
I am the father of three girls and three boys, but this number has been reduced to three as one son is in Belmarsh prison accused of being a terrorist while another two sons are on the run from the authorities. I am also grandfather to their children. I am of Algerian origin, coming from a family from the countryside. They owned a lot of land, so my earliest memories were of farming, mountains and goats. The family moved well before my birth to the city but the link with the countryside was always very strong.
The continuous torment was eating at me, which has meant that I still haven't been able to continue
my studies to obtain a PHD to this day nevertheless it is in life that I have persevered and acquired my knowledge.view less
