RND Party To Prosecute France Before International Judicial Bodies
National Democratic Rally will work to prosecute the French government before international judicial bodies for its crimes committed in Africa, in cooperation with all political and human rights forces in African countries that were victims of French colonialism, to unify efforts, especially after the African Union adopted a resolution at its last summit classifying colonialism as a war crime against humanity and a crime of genocide committed against African peoples, Mustapha Yahi, Secretary-General of the National Democratic Rally, confirmed on Saturday from Biskra (southern Algeria).
During a popular gathering on the occasion of the twenty-eighth anniversary of the founding of the party, which coincides with the anniversary of the nationalization of hydrocarbons and the founding of the General Union of Algerian Workers, Yahi addressed the provocations of the French government, which is subject to far-right lobbies, working to poison bilateral relations between the Algerian state and its French counterpart, exacerbate the situation in the Maghreb region and target national security, calling on the Algerian government to develop a strategy to confront the hostile media war targeting Algeria from several laboratories and dark rooms, hosted and financed by several hostile regimes and entities, according to his expression.
Yahi also renewed his party's determination to work with all living forces to demand that France respond to Algerian demands related to the memory file, starting with its recognition of its crimes committed over a century and thirty years against the Algerian people, and compensating the victims of those brutal crimes, including the nuclear explosions, and recovering the resistance fighters' skulls, archives and looted property, which are crimes against humanity punishable by international law, according to his description.
On this day, Yahi praised Algerian diplomacy's strong and honourable positions under the leadership and guidance of President of the Republic Abdelmadjid Tebboune and its achievements in making Algeria's voice heard. Algerian diplomacy defends fair causes worldwide, especially the Palestinian and Sahrawi causes, and the interests of the peoples of Arab and African countries in the face of old and new colonial ambitions.
During his speech, Yahi returned to the beginnings of the party's founding, recalling all the sons of the National Democratic Rally 'who left us, founders, executives and activists, and foremost among them the martyrs of national duty who stood firm in the face of blind terrorism and sacrificed their lives so that this beloved homeland would remain united, sovereign, and proud in the face of terrorism and move towards a bright future of progress and prosperity.'
The spokesman explained that the establishment of the party was not an added number in the political arena, but rather came to strengthen the national republican corridor in that dark period of Algeria's history and to be a space for all patriots convinced of the unity of destiny and saving Algeria from the clutches of extremism and terrorism, from the good mujahideen (freedom fighters), from the sons of the righteous martyrs, from the sons of the mujahideen, from women, from farmers, from youth, from workers, from journalists and other loyal patriots, headed by the martyr Abdelhak Benhamouda, a victim of barbaric terrorism, according to Mustapha Yahi.
On the eve of the holy month of Ramadan, the RND party, through its Secretary-General, expressed its satisfaction with the government's efforts to ensure the availability of widely consumed products in national markets and called on the government to stabilize prices.
