Trotskyists from France 'stirring up Berbers' http://www.bahraintribune.com/middle.asp?Art_No=7137 ALGIERS: Extreme left-wing Trotskyist agitators from France are infiltrating village committees in Algeria's Berber community which has been in a state of unrest since April, a pro-government newspaper said here yesterday. Agitators were arriving in Algeria with "a strategy of destabilisation.... developed in Paris with the aid of Algerian intellectuals and college teachers living in France," the newspaper L'Expression said. Last week Algerian authorities prevented Berber leaders from staging a march in the capital Algiers. Unrest broke out in the Berber region of Kabylie after the death in police custody of a Berber youth on April 18. The newspaper report said infiltrators, partly directed by French Trotskist leader Pierre Lambert, had been spotted by Algerian security entering the country. The Berber minority in eastern Algeria have long complained of economic and cultural discrimination. The newspaper, close to Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, said a Trotskyist cell existed in Paris which followed events in Kabylie and provided reports to Amnesty International and other human rights groups "known for their leftism," the report said. - afp http://www.bahraintribune.com/middle.asp?Art_No=7137
