 Le Quotidien d'Oran: Algeria failed to set up equity and reconciliation commission
Algerian paper Le Quotidien d'Oran regretted in a column published this Saturday that Algeria did not set up an Equity and Reconciliation Commission and that it was Morocco that took the initiative.
The daily alludes to the creation in Morocco of the Equity and Reconciliation committee to carry out-of-court settlement of cases involving past human rights abuses.
The reconciliation policy launched under the form of "Rahma d'Etat (state mercy)" since the (president Lyamin) Zeroual days, and seen as a basis of Bouteflika's policy had had its day, though it could turn into a revolution through remembrance and truth establishment, and turn the country's page of disaster, Le Quotidien d'Oran said.
