Algeria has just held what it calls a
presidential election. It has done so at intervals since 1995 and
these have regularly been a cause for dissatisfaction at home and

to measure up to widespread expectations? This ARI explains that they
are not really elections at all and that the expectations entertained
in respect of them are entirely misplaced.

Israel’s strategic gains in ‘Operation Cast Lead’
have dissipated day by day.
