Speaking at Le360’s “Le Grand Témoin” conference in Casablanca on Thursday, October 29, writer and French Academy member Boualem Sansal offered a searing account of his life as a dissident, his fight for freedom of thought in the face of barbarism and the tensions gripping the region. With unstinting praise for Morocco’s strategic maturity and a fierce indictment of Algeria’s militarist dead end, a man whose life has followed an extraordinary course made an impassioned case for clarity and truth.
