Searching for a solution to the crisis
The psychological pressures of Algeria’s generals served only to strengthen the will of Mourad Dhina to find a realistic and balanced way out of the deadlock in Algeria. He had a significant input in the formulation of the FIS position in the discussions, between Algeria’s main political forces, that led to the signing, in Rome in January 1995, of the ‘Platform for a peaceful political settlement of the Algerian crisis’, commonly known as the ‘National Contract of Rome’ [42]. This platform adopted the principles of rejecting violence to gain or remain in power, civilian control of the army, full acceptance of the principle of political pluralism, respect and promotion of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and Islam, as well as Amazigh and Arabic cultures as the basic elements of Algerian identity [43].
In October 1997, Mourad Dhina became the spokesman of the Coordination Council of the FIS (CCFIS). The CCFIS published on 11 January 1999 the ‘FIS Manifesto for justice and peace in Algeria’ [44], which outlines a vision for the restoration of peace and justice as well as the political reforms to be undertaken ─ particularly those relating to civil-military relations ─ to safeguard the freedoms and human, political, and socio-economic rights of Algerians [45].
Whereas this manifesto speaks of rights, Mourad Dhina thinks in terms of duties, and he regards the resources and opportunities that life has made available to him as no more than a source of responsibility. He makes himself available to all initiatives to build bridges between Algerian intellectuals and politicians, who are widely perceived as a particularly fractious lot divided by ideological or political differences, fear or personal ambition.

In June 2000, he took part in a symposium, attended by Algerian political figures, on the ‘Actual dimensions of the Algerian crisis’ and co-signed the ‘Geneva Declaration’ for the resolution of the Algerian conflict [46]. This declaration calls for giving up ‘the facade of pluralism and mutual demonization’ and ‘clientelistic and police management of politics’, and to ‘restore dialogue between Algerians’ and ‘launch a genuine national reconciliation’ process which respects ‘the obligation of memory, truth and justice’. To overcome the crisis, it advocates a consensus ‘around four major non-negotiable principles: respect for multi-party elections, freedom of the press, independence of justice, effective legal equality of citizens without discrimination’.

you know to start my words Algeria is between hands of their sons witch mean before Independence of Algeria the French colonials pass deals with khalad nezar, chadli, touati, lamari, guenaizia, belkheir, kamel abderahman and company to quit the army station and joint liberal Algerian army for infiltration and they find one thirsty for power boumediene witch has organized the crimes against honest revolutionary and keep that dirty peoples to command the Algerian army so since that the Algeria enter in black under pass the strategy if we can call it strategy is to keep mouth of all intellectual Algerian clause under of course of french army benediction, so our brother Professor Mourad Dhina is victim of that legacy as many others so the plan is clear to negotiate with there homologous that we have cash the man now if you want to do deal with us we can discuss about the new Mondale order they knows that peoples most of them they are near their temples so they want know the new names they will handle the French flames in Algeria especially in army and services.
I think the Algerian services with French services there is some coast to be paid against head of Professor Dhina as for example how was behind of bobs crime because by legal way the french authorities they don’t have any right to arrest Professor especially he enter the territory legally the falsifier accusation doesn’t fit any lawyer can say that it is illegal what the french services toke action against Professor Dhina.
So we have to be patient and start to be unified as Algerian intellectuals to rescue our country for army mafia and algerianjewish as belkheir, touati, troudi,kamel abderahman, guenazia, zerhouni, madame khali, and list is so long
