...thrust stability on a fledging country and brought it eminence is ending. No successor has been groomed, and Boumedienne's demise could lead to a power struggle. Some observers believe that the two factions in the nine-man Council of the Revolution, one led by dapper Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika, 41, the other by Colonel Mohammed Salah Yahiaoui, 46, head of the National Liberation Front, Algeria's only political party, could work out an amicable succession...
There was some predictable anti-U.S. rhetoric, including a complaint by Algerian Foreign Minister Abdelaziz Bouteflika about an "American-Zionist" plot to keep the Soviet Union out of the peace process. But when it came time to define what measures should be taken against Sadat, none was forthcoming.

Bouteflika's blatant disregard for the tradition of presidential impartiality was one cause of former U.S. Ambassador John Scali's warning last year that a "tyranny...
Beyond that, Washington was dismayed at the blatantly unfair rulings made from the chair by this year's Assembly President, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, Algeria's Foreign Minister. When the Assembly debated the Palestine question, Bouteflika, abandoning the principle that the presiding officer is neutral, obviously favored the Arab in his handling of the time allotted for debate...
