“Hello France, I’m coming back, we’re going to win!” » | EUROtoday

BS: She’s on her way. She arrives in an hour. I have no means of communication. When you are there (in Algeria), they take your card, your papers, your phone…

KD: But tell me, what have you read, for example, during this year?

BS: Read?

KD: Did you have the opportunity or the freedom to read or not?

BS: Read? (surprised laughter) It’s forbidden. Books of religion or in Arabic. That’s all there is there [la prison, NDLR]. But there is secret book trafficking, you pay for it with cigarettes or cakes. With this you can have some.

KD: Were you able to write?

BS: No! It’s isolation. I was in something special. I was like cut off from the world, except for Naziha’s visits.

KD: Do you know that the whole world rallied for you?

BS: Yes! I had some vague rumors. Thanks to some [pas de détails que l’on peut rendre publics, NDLR]. I still understood that things were moving everywhere. I felt it at one point when the prison regime changed. I was in a very high security area. I wasn’t really allowed to talk to the other prisoners very often. Or approach them. We’ll tell all this later.

KD: From everything you’ve told me, do you want me to write a specific sentence?

BS: What?

KD: An optimistic sentence…

BS: You say: “Hello France, Boualem is coming back. We are going to win!”

KD: Okay.

BS: I hope relations between France and Algeria will evolve because of Germany and to our diplomacy. I’m hopeful. I used to be informed a bit of concerning the negotiations. There is an astral junction which is nice. [Avant la libération, NDLR] I used to be moved from one jail to a different yesterday, then the hospital. Someone got here to see me. There was one thing, a hesitation. We’re going to launch him, we’re not going to launch him, it was very mysterious. I used to be then at Maison Carré [prison dans le quartier d’El Harrach à Alger, NDLR]a jail from the Middle Ages. The similar day, I used to be moved to Mustapha hospital [à Alger, NDLR]I used to be now not a prisoner however a guarded affected person.

Then there was the “evening visitor”. “Who are you?”, I requested. Otherwise let me sleep, I’m drained.” Finally, his message was: “You need to put water in your wine…” Well, red lines. I replied, “Better to maintain me for an additional twenty years in that case. If I haven’t got the appropriate to talk then what on earth am I doing? I may agree with you should you make peace, if relations evolve in the appropriate path as a result of France is Algeria’s good friend and it’s you who made it an enemy. Germany can also be a good friend of Algeria. And if it goes in that path, sure.”
