Bouteflika

He's been Algeria's president for the last 20 years, has disappeared a couple of years ago due to a stroke, the algerian people haven't heard of him ( at least directly) since. Apparently he'll be retiring before 4/28/2019, yet the majority thinks he's already dead.

Though some say that Boutef is immortal, indeed, older than the earth itself, he'll keep on roaming forever in the universe, keeping a caring eye on his long lost love, sellal

On a serious note,let us hope boutef can get the rest he should've had a long time ago, and that the ''government'' stops milking profits from his status
