In the latest visit by American officials to Algeria, President Obama's senior counter-terror advisor praised Algeria's work in the fight against al-Qaeda."United States appreciates Algeria's counter-terrorism position," John Brennan said after meeting with Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, adding that President Obama was "keen on relations with Algeria".

These officials however wholly realize that the efficiency with which the war against terrorists has been led since January 1992 by the Algerian generals and their political police, the DRS, is based on the implementation of a terrible and largely secret “death machine” which has been accurately described by Algeria-Watch, the human rights’ watch organization, in its striking report “Algeria: the Death Machine”. 

According to Algeria-Watch, “the so-called “January” generals, with the aim of maintaining their corrupt power and wealth, […] have inflicted a brutal repression on their people using “secret war” methods devised by French officers during the Algeria Independence War (1954-1962) on a scale unprecedented in any other 20th Century civil war: death squadrons, systematic torture, kidnappings and “disappearances”, manipulation of the enemies’ strategies of war, disinformation and “psychological action”, etc.”

Algeria-Watch explains that the “generalized use of torture, rendered banal by the security forces since 1962, is in some ways at the root of the massacres which took place thirty years later, characterized by the total contempt for human life and for the bodies of the supposed enemies, considered “sub-human” whether they were Muslim or not. This absurd brutality would take on many different forms, causing tens of thousands of deaths: extrajudicial mass murders, “disappearances” which became commonplace, manipulation of Islamist violence to justify mass killings, etc.

In early March, Moroccan Energy Minister Amina Benkhadra met with her Algerian counterpart, Youcef Yousfi. The officials discussed ways to deepen relations in the fields of energy, mining, electricity and renewable energies. They also broached the possibility of setting up a Maghreb electricity market. Meanwhile, Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci argued that "the best area of co-operation between Algiers and Rabat is the field of security", referring to their "war on terrorism".
