Traveling though his home city of Algiers, Tariq Teguia comes across a string of people who express their despair and hopelessness with regard to the situation in Algeria. “If you can’t stand us, tell us. If you don’t want an Algerian to live, don’t show him that something better exists. Don’t show me that there is a better life than the one I’m living. Remove the satellite dishes! ‘Freedom’. Remove that word from our minds. Expurgate from our minds the term ‘development’. Don’t teach it to us in school. Tell us that the world is built on desolation.”

With ROMA WA LA N’TOUMA
