Belkhadem criticises GCC for inviting Morocco to join it

Secretary General of the National Liberation Front (FLN) Abdelaziz Belkhadem criticised the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) for inviting Morocco to be a member.

• Abdelaziz Belkhadem described the invitation as weird and bizarre, saying it is just an episode in a long serial. “It started in Sudan and no one expect those who made this terrible plan where it will end.”
•  
• “The invitation purpose is to push Algeria to see in the opposite sense and ignore what is happening in its eastern borders,” the FLN’s leader said in an official meeting in Algiers.
•  
• “But Algerians will not forget their Libyan brothers,” he added.
•  
• He rejected foreign interference in Libya, saying his party stands by the Libyan people and their right in reaching a satisfying solution.
•  
• Belkhadem talked about the problems which women will face in terms of participation in elected councils. He said it is difficult to find women activists to reach the quota on women in elections.
•  
• Speaking about the interior affairs of the party, the FLN’s leader said voices emerged to cause division. He called on them to present their preoccupations instead of debate through newspapers, releases and rumours.
