Algeria Reform Or Adjustement ?
Authors : Miyaji Kasuo .
Abstract
After my departure from Japan in March 1989, I stayed in Rabat, Moroccan capital about 9 months, and from this january I am living in Algiers, the capital city of Algeria. It is for me the third long stay in Algiers, first in 1968, and then in 1974. Among while, I have made several short visits in 1978, 1981, 1984 and 1989. Please let me talk some of my first impressions at Algiers. Firstly, the shortage of daily goods in Algeria ; After settling at an appartment belonging to my Algerian friend living in Paris, I began to prepare my installation, to buy necessary goods for living and cooking, I had to face with many difficulty to find ordinary goods. I remembered suddelenly that the first Arabic expression that I learned at Algiers in 1968 was "ma ka'in sh" (there is nothing), the expression that the shop keepers use to answer the client's question "have you butter ?". "have you vegetable oil ?" and so on ; Algerian people are suffering the shortage of goods for every day life, unbelievable situation in Japan affluent, sut also in Morocco, because you can find there many goods that you don't find in Algeria. That is the reason why we meet many Algerian "tourists" who are doing shopping in Moroccan markets especially at Oudja, bordering town and at Mellilia, free port under Spanish domination. Why is there such difference between Morocco and Algeria ? If you compare the GNP of two countries, Algeria is higher than Morocco by Three times. Probably, we have to discuss the matter later. In brief, this critical situation in Algeria is the result of economical and financial crisis caused by the decline of Oil price and the depreciation of US dollars.
