Abd al-Malek Selal held public office at a time when the terms of that office were themselves being contested.
The record lists Abd al-Malek Selal as Algerian politician and Prime Minister.
Abd al-Malek Selal was born at Constantine in 1948. His recorded nationality is Algeria. He was educated at National School of Administration.
Twentieth-century politics was conducted under the shadow of two world wars, decolonisation and the Cold War, and broadcast to electorates that could watch it happen.
He served as Prime Minister of Algeria (2014–2017), Prime Minister of Algeria (2012–2014) and ambassador (1996–1997).
His political affiliation is recorded as National Liberation Front.
Power is judged twice: once by contemporaries who felt it, and again by historians who did not.
That the career was made in Algeria is not incidental: the institutions available, the franchise, and the constraints of the moment all shaped what could be attempted.
Abd al-Malek Selal's career is not finished, and the historical verdict on it has not been reached.
