Algerians are still marching, demanding the fall of what remains of the regime, while the country’s strongman, general gaïd salah, is pushing the peaceful marchers to go cast their ballots on july, 4th under an overcast political sky; an election that is categorically rejected by the hirak, which would oblige the general to ask the constitutional counsel to postpone the election.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

It has been rough weeks for the algerians to follow the ongoing arm wrestling match between the general and the marchers. The chief of staff and defense vice-minister continues to reassure algerians with his weekly briefings and seems decided to keep the constitutional order going for the sake of the good function of the republic’s institutions, while watching the natural progression of the new-born second republic.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

Everyone, however, knows that the military are the republic itself. One of the regime’s heads has fallen, but the regime itself remains intact — this is what the marchers are claiming week-in and week- out even during the holy month of ramadhan under relentless heat waves.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom they want them all to leave ( Y’roho ga’a), in particular, mr. Ben salah, acting-president and premier bedoui, who are seen like al-adli and al-bablaoui.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom fair enough because algerians are already divided on whether the military should give them the al-mouradia palace keys and leave.

Understandably, the generals are not ready to share power, as they have been enjoying absolute power since 1962, as have the marshals in egypt since 1952.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom one can read what’s happening in general’s gaïd salah mind: is someone telling him about the chilean model, or like some islamist-leaning analysts and elite argue, about the turkish model?Cognitive learning theory in the classroom this could happen if the algerian islamist leaders reframe their vision, establish a new manifesto, and find a charismatic and pragmatist leader like president erdoğan.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

Actually, last week dr. Taleb al-ibrahimi’s letter addressed to the marchers praising their maturity and political awareness stated, “[we] should all protect these civilisational gains working together with all the parties, and [we] learn from the hirak inclusive slogans, among them: “algerians are brothers, and the army and the people are brothers” ( al-jazareen khawa, khawa, oua jeish sha’ab khawa, khawa).” he wrote.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

The islamists’ base is waiting for algeria’s erdoğan-style leadership, the message of dr. Taleb al-ibrahimi who himself has been portrayed by the liberal media and the secularists as political islam’s face of the regime.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom thus the base wants a leader like him, whose ideology is based on national unity and the nation’s identity, but dr. Taleb al-ibrahimi cannot lead because of his age.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

It’s not that bad, as long as the military lead from behind, certainly a model that washington, moscow, beijing and paris would like to see in place until the learning process shows some gains.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom algerian society, however, does not have a healthy secular culture like the turkish society in this stance, it was a lengthy exercise which took decades for the turkish secularists and military to accept the islamists’ existence and success.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom the july, 2016 failed coup against president erdoğan revealed the salutary relation of these odd partners.

The military lost the credibility that many algerians held toward them before april, 2nd; during the mosaic uprising protesters were chanting: “people and the army are brothers,” but in the recent weeks they have been chanting: “we want a civilian state, not a military state.” hence the divorce papers are on the table because this couple does not have the same perspectives.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom the military see stability before direct democracy, and freedom to prevail; the majority of the marchers are enjoying romanticism revolution, whereas there is a silent majority who believe real reforms rhyme with real reformists.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

For better or worse, but mostly for the “better” of the country, a new political order is rising. Algerian generals are concerned about that, i.E., the turmoil in the sahel, an uncertain libya, and a new military policy determinant with sub-regional disorder.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom so algerians elite and leaders should be looking at the spaniards’ post-franco and the chilean post-pinochet models because the turkish or malaysian ones wouldn’t be adaptable in the current rugged algerian political landscape.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom

Algerians have succeed in ending the farce of the reelection of the ex-president for a fifth-term, the “republic” dynasty system, and more importantly the demystification of the kingdom of rab D’zeir, and algeria’s michael corleone and his minions — the credit goes to general gaïd salah and his peers in ali khodja headquarters.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom algerians should focus on how to end the hirak because the country’s dire economic and financial situation doesn’t allow further social or political tensions.Cognitive learning theory in the classroom
