On Saturday May 11, 2002, in an emission on the waves of radio operator Beur FM, Malika Matoub had declared that: “Said Sadi and Nordine Aït Hamouda are behind the assassination of Lounès Matoub”. Following this emission, Said Sadi and Nordine Aït Hamouda attack in justice Malika Matoub for slandering. The lawsuit will take place in Paris, on May 13, 2003 at 13. 30 mn with the announced absence of Nordine Aït Hamouda. To include/understand them holding and outcomes of this business, the Foundation Lounès Matoub makes public this declaration. On June 25, 1998, Lounès Matoub is assassinated in not yet elucidated circumstances with Tala Bounane on the road of return to its native village Taourirt Moussa. Whereas persons in charge for parties political require that “all the light be made on this criminal act and that the authors are identified and judged with all the rigour of the law”, leaders of the RCD (Nordine Aït Hamouda, Said Sadi, Khalida Messaoudi, Amara Benyounès.), a few minutes after the drama for some, without investigation and evidence, declare that “in fact the Armed Islamic Groups (GIA) physically eliminated” Lounès with the indirect responsibility for the Capacity “unable to protect Matoub” and of “many complicities and collusions with Islamism” in Kabylie. The RCD calls then with a walk on Thursday July 2, 1998 (the request for authorization was deposited on Saturday June 27, 1998 with 10h): no requirement of identification, arrest or punishment of the criminals appears in the watchwords of this walk, on the other hand the RCD invites “to honour the memory with all the martyrs of the democracy and to continue until its term the combat of Lounès Matoub”. In a press conference, on Monday June 29, 1998, Said Sadi persists, sign and brings precise details, for him, it does not make the shade of a doubt, the authors of the assassination of Matoub are elements of Hattab thus GIA, and this well before the “claim” of Hattab faxed at AFP Bureau of London. The gendarmerie of Blessed Douala, in a report drawn up fifteen days after the facts, allotted the assassination to a “terrorist group not identified”. Monday July 20, 1998, in an interview at the Evening of Algeria, Nadia Matoub (wife of Lounès and eyewitness of the drama), with the question: “The assassination of Lounès was asserted. ” answers: “That you want that I say. A blow like that, in full day. My court is in prey with the doubts. ”. This answer did not please certain militants of the RCD. The latter presented to him Malika Matoub, the sister of the singer, like an example to be followed. “Looks at Malika how it behaves. She ceases saying only those which kill are known”, said to him. Indeed, up to that point, Malika Matoub had shown the GIA: questioned by France 3, the evening of the drama, she had said “the question is not posed. They are the islamist ones. It is the GIA” and it had signed declarations written by militants of the RCD showing the GIA. But after the certainty, the doubt settles, in an interview granted with the Event of Thursday of the 22 at July 29, 1998, Malika Matoub excluded not the possibility of an assassination made by “a group armed handled by a fringe with the capacity”. From this interview, Malika Matoub will become the privileged target of uninterrupted attacks on behalf of the RCD and its media relays in the Algerian press. Most shameless of its vectors of the insult and the infamy of the RCD is the chronicler Mustapha Hammouche, ex-member of the national direction of the RCD and writer of the preliminary entry showing the GIA read by Nadia Matoub at the time of her press conference on October 7, 1998. All the actions undertaken by the sour of Matoub Lounès will then be fought by the RCD, to start with the creation of the Foundation bearing the name of the singer assassinated on October 12, 1998. The militants of the RCD, indeed, had suggested in Nadia Matoub the creation of a Foundation which “would not be that of the revenue” with the implication of “personalities which are recognized in the combat of Lounès” of which Mustapha Hammouche. On March 8, 1999, Na Aldjia Matoub (mother of Lounès Matoub) addresses a letter opened, remained without continuation, with the President of the Zéroual Republic. It recalls him that on October 24, 1998, with the call of the examining magistrate of the court of Tizi-Ouzou, it constituted civil part with her Malika daughter because they have more than doubts about the assassination of Lounès, it challenges it as a supreme magistrate of the country to make the light, all the light on the assassination of her son and affirms to him its determination to devote all the energy which remains to him to continue the combat for the truth. This requirement of truth will involve, after the doubts, of the standpoint even more virulent with regard to the family and of the Matoub Foundation, for unquestionable “its assassination was indeed asserted. One should not speculate in the authors of the crime”, for others “not with those which want to clear the GIA of its crimes” and a media lynching campaign will be started to stop more against the two people who “pervert the combat of Lounès, soil her heart and haggle over her bones”. On September 2, 1999, at the time of a meeting with Tizi Ouzou to promote his project of civil harmony, President Bouteflika, publicly and solemnly, committed himself opening a true investigation into the assassination of Lounès Matoub. Not only, this promise was not held, but it gave place to coarse and awkward attempt at burial of the Matoub business. Indeed, Algerian justice acceding to the request formulated by “certain mediums which the truth cannot that to disturb” tried to substitute for the priority claim of the Foundation and the Matoub family: truth and justice on the assassination of Lounès Matoub, a “sham trial on order” with a candidate with the inculpation who went on September 17, 1999 within the framework of the law on the civil harmony, presented by a daily newspaper (El Watan) as the kidnapper of Matoub in September 1994 which would have been according to its own revelations the “author of no crime of blood with Tizi Ouzou and its surroundings” and by another daily newspaper (Freedom) under the feather of Aomar Mohellebi quoting “a sure source” like “belonging to an armed group which assassinated Matoub Lounès”. This candidate with the inculpation which “on October 19, 1999 was led menotté and obviously tortured, for a 33 minutes visit to his parents, in company of five civil people whose deputy of the area (Nordine Aït Hamouda) which has nothing to do with the commission of probation”, kept the day of the sham trial “of the after-effects of torture with a bayonet”, “P signed. - V. whose remarks do not belong to him” and “would have been filmed “acknowledging” to have assassinated the singer Matoub Lounès”. The other candidate with the inculpation, decree “September 28, 1999 close to his residence with Tizi-Ouzou by men armed with the SM (Military Safety)”, “maintained in secret detention until the beginning of May 2000”, “wildly tortured”, “so maltreated” that its of torture had “to hospitalize it for one month at the military hospital of Blida”, was “in Tizi Ouzou with ten people. They ate sardines in a popular restaurant” at the time when the true assassins drew on Lounès Matoub. The lawsuit was deferred to an unspecified date. Since, no news on the progress report of the file.
