More precisely, the spontaneous action of Henry Dunant and the Italian women there foreshadowed the Red Cross, and the idea was expressed for the first time in A Memory of Solferino which Dunant wrote three years later. What was the " memory" which haunted him for three years to such a point that he spent sleepless nights, neglected his own affairs and placed in jeopardy the commercial interests which had been entrusted to him? Not that of the battle itself, which was one of the greatest carnages that had ever taken place. Dunant was not present at the battle, and his narration of its various phases was based on what he had read; he built up his description of the scenes of slaughter and blood­ shed on the basis of the marks left on the mutilated bodies of the killed and wounded.

  • Algerian Health Care Organizations and Propaganda Campaigns, 1954–62

    Int. J. Middle East Stud. 44 (2012), 713–731 doi:10.1017/S0020743812000839 Jennifer Johnson Onyedum “HUMANIZE THE CONFLICT”: ALGERIAN HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATIONS AND PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGNS, 1954–62 Abstract This article explores the vitally important yet often neglected role of medicine and health care in the conduct of the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62). Using French, Swiss, and recently opened Algerian archival materials, it demonstrates how Algerian nationalists developed a health- service infrastructure that targeted the domestic and international arenas. It argues that they employed the powerful language of health and healing to legitimize their claims for national sovereignty and used medical organizations to win local support, obtain financial and material aid from abroad, and recast themselves as humanitarians to an increasingly sympathetic international audience. This research aims to situate Algerian efforts into a broader history of decolonization and humanitarianism and contributes to rethinking the process through which political claims were made at the end of empire. The Algerian Red Crescent, stained with the blood of our martyrs, will continue to rise in our brilliant sky of stars from the twilight of servitude until the dawn of our liberation. —Omar Boukli-Hacene,` president, Algerian Red Crescent, 1957 In the late 1950s, at the height of the Algerian War of Independence, the National Liber- ation Front (FLN) published a pamphlet entitled “Aspects of the Algerian Revolution.” The cover features four armed National Liberation Army (ALN) soldiers standing over a map of the country and gazing attentively into the distance. These men are poised to protect and defend their nation as they await the challenges ahead.
