...realities are that there is not one Algerian-I know this-who does not believe that the Sahara should be a part of Algeria." It was a breathtaking concession which, as his critics grumbled, would probably have produced an armistice long ago, almost certainly would have forestalled the ouster last month of F.L.N.
