Trotskyists from France 'stirring up Berbers'

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
