  the Algerian writer, invited at a broadcast on the radio channel three, accused Algerians of having criticized him by jealous and wondered why the Algerian MPs during a session, had questioned on the refusal of the Algerian Cultural Center in France to organize the commemoration of the death of Moufdi Zakarya.
  The author of "The Swallows of Kabul" declared at the same show, the many Algerian doubt whether he is the author of his novels, and say that they are only stories. As if he does not deserve all the awards he has won throughout five continents, according to him.
