Veteran Algerian dissident to miss election of successor

Veteran Algerian dissident Hocine Ait Ahmed is too ill to attend a congress of his Socialist Forces Front (FFS) later this week, the first he has missed since he founded it 50 years ago, organisers said on Tuesday. Ait Ahmed’s doctors have advised him against travelling to Algeria for the congress.
