 | The change of government was intended as a new political and economic beginning for the country, but the violent death of one of its most prominent public figures demonstrated that instability and uncertainty are still the rule in Algerian political life. |
| Merbah's Mouvement Algerien pour la Justice et Democratie (MAJD, which has the connotation of "glory" in Arabic) will likely falter, since it was largely a vehicle for his own political ambitions, but other parties will be unaffected. |
| Merbah's death signifies, however, that no one is above the chaotic violence gripping Algeria and that a simple change of government is no easy solution to Algeria's deepening dilemma. |
