by pointing out that President Bouteflika had attended the
July Africa Union meeting in Sharm el Sheikh and participated
in the discussion of the issue. Despite having just finished
a meeting with the South African ambassador, however,
Magramane made no substantive comment beyond expressing
Algeria's general support for the process led by President
