Adding to Influence and contribution section

'''With deep admiration for an Algerian poet, Ahlam Mosteghanemi established the Malek Haddad Literary Prize in 2001 for the best Algerian writer.  While interviewed in June 2001 she voiced her worries about the lack of Arabic literature in Algeria and was in hopes that the Malek Haddad Literary Prize would encourage more to write in Arabic. Just like Ahlam, Malek Haddad was also from Constantine, Algeria.  Although he gave up writing, his reasoning was due to him not being allowed to write in Arabic.  Ahlam Mosteghanemi quoted Hadda throughout "Memory in Flesh" and loved what he stood for.'''
