The FIS aggiornamento
In 2001, Mourad Dhina was asked by Madani Abbassi, President of FIS, to organise the party Congress. On 3 and 4 August 2002, the Congress of the ‘Martyr Abdelkader Hachani’ took place in Europe and appointed Mourad Dhina as the interim chief of the FIS National Executive Board. This conference, held in difficult conditions and a very tense post-September 11 context, was described by many observers of the Algerian political scene as an important step in the life of the FIS which adopted, at last, basic institutional texts: statutes, rules and a political platform [47].

At the invitation of the Ireland Algeria Solidarity Group, which had launched in February 2002 the ‘Dublin Initiative for a Peaceful, Just and Political Settlement in Algeria’, Mourad Dhina later outlined in the Irish Parliament a proposal to end the crisis, which was based primarily on the principles of the ‘National Contract of Rome’ [48].
In 2003, Mourad Dhina oversaw the publication of FIS du peuple: Politique, droit et prison en Algérie [49], which is a legal, political and human justification for the release of the FIS leaders and all prisoners of conscience in Algeria.
On 13 October 2004, a year after the release from prison of the president and vice-president of FIS, Mourad Dhina announced his resignation from the party. In a statement released to justify this departure, he invoked ‘organisational dysfunctions’ of the party and the non-compliance ‘by principle or in practice, with the texts and decisions of the party, and sometimes the unwillingness to refer or conform to the regulations in the day to day management and policy positions’ [50]. Thus, Mourad Dhina left the FIS when he realised that ‘after several attempts to establish institutional work procedures within the FIS, we must recognise that these attempts have failed’ [51].
After his resignation from the FIS, Mourad Dhina continued to express publicly his position in an independent manner. He maintained a critical view of civil-military relations and expressed the opinion that the ‘national reconciliation charter’ of the regime aimed at enshrining impunity [52]. Despite his resignation from the FIS, his steadfast positions on such key issues earned him, on 20 June 2005, a new life sentence in absentia, on the basis of ludicrous confessions extracted under torture from a citizen arrested in Algiers.
Mourad Dhina took the time to deepen his knowledge on effective methods of bringing about a profound political change in Algeria. This reinforced his conviction that only a wide alliance, beyond ideological differences, could force the military to accept the people’s sovereignty. This motivation spurred him to take part in discussions with Algerian citizens from various backgrounds. Of these exchanges was born, in April 2007, the Rachad ─ pronounced Rashad ─ movement [53].

jail of brains
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
