Cubans will be Cubans

Article Abstract:

Fidel Castro's disastrous mismanagement of Cuba's government and economy heralds a transition only complicated by emotional US reactions that strain its relations with other countries. Cuba's successful propaganda has misled many observers, as have Cuban refugees who insist the US liberate them and their brethren. European mediation might offer a less painful resolution than a myriad of others which could result from Castro's death. Any restoration of Cuba will certainly require vast effort and investment.

A time for peace in Algeria

Article Abstract:

Algeria has good prospects for a sincere peace between its presently warring factions but this can be achieved only through dialogue. Such an exchange of views has proven elusive, but the debate that started in Rome in Nov 1994 provides a model for further discussion. While the present political crisis could continue indefinitely, spurred on by the huge economic interests involved, both the army and the Islamic fundamentalist movement recognize that neither is going away.

A new Algerian war?

Article Abstract:

The Algerian government is being challenged by a popular Islamic fundamentalist movement, the Front Islamique du Salut. This turn of events mirrors the Algerian revolt against the French in the 1950s, led by the the Front de la Liberation Nationale (FLN), which is still in power. This time, the FLN is the elite group with everything to lose, and international opinion on both sides of the issue is, once again, misinformed and emotional.
