Algeria will not join the IOF: Mohamed Sghire Babas

Algeria refuses to return to the International organization of the Francophonie unless deep conflicts with France are solved, particularly since it refused recognizing its crimes during the colonial period, head of the National Economic and Social Council, Mohamed Esghire Babas said Monday.  

• Despite the great surprise and astonishment of the French head of the Economic Social and Environmental Council, Jack Dermani, Mohamed Esghire Basbes added, “We can not build good relationships as long as France is glorifying its colonial past using laws and refusing to free its memory from the former inherited crimes”.
•  
• “Algeria, as the largest francophone country after France and before Canada and Belgium will not accept normalization of its relationships with this organization for free no matter how the French government tried to lure Algeria in order to join it”.
