Mohamed Arkoun
From time to time, the press tells us that this or that Algerian created, invented, discovered, excelled, hit the headlines in a distant country of Cocagnes. Of course, we are delighted to see ours show the extent of their talent and genius. Delighted, but heartbroken at the same time when thinking of what these beings of light, most of them trained by the Algerian university, could bring to our homeland.
Do you know, for example, that Indonesia's social project is inspired exclusively by the Thought of Mohamed Arkoun? Please note, this is not a fabrication. Indonesian society is indeed structured around the Thought of M-Arkoun, the Algerian. I got this information from the Indonesian ambassador in Tunis himself. He was even very proud of the choice of his country.
Mohamed_Arkoun, for those who don't know him, is a comet that only passes once in the sky of a nation.
We mistook it for a shooting star and made an improbable wish, but it wasn't a shooting star, it was the aurora borealis of the night of Destiny. This embodied generosity would have saved many generations and spared Algeria a lot of excesses and tragedies.
May he rest in peace while we wait for ours.
