VF-53 Algerian War, Phase 2 The civil war in Algeria erupted in 1954 with attacks by guerillas of the Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN) against the military and French colonists. Initially, the French air Force was able to use airfields in the French colonies of Morocco and Tunisia, until both territories gained independence later in the war.

Analysis of the Causes of the Independent Movement of Algeria
IOSR Journal Of Humanities And Social Science (IOSR-JHSS) Volume 19, Issue 6, Ver. V (Jun. 2014), PP 79-95 e-ISSN: 2279-0837, p-ISSN: 2279-0845. www.iosrjournals.org Analysis of the Causes of the Independent Movement of Algeria Rabeya Khatun Islamic History and Culture Department, University of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Abstract: The aim of this paper is to identify and analysis the different causes of the Algerian War of Independence 1954-1962. The analysis extends to include various aspects of French colonization’s policy and their determination to maintain direct control of Algeria because of its strategic location and how they pillaged the land, destroyed old cultures, displaced local languages, transformed ancient customs, devastation of traditional society, economy and military alliances and how they created new ones throwing up in their wake new historical opportunities. It represents the undermining of women's roles and rights, and the exploitation of their willingness to shelve their feminist agenda in favor of participation in the nationalist cause. This paper also looks at the role of nationalist parties and leaders to rise of Algerian nationalism. This paper is traced to the nature of the socio-political Circumstances of Algeria that took over the leadership of the anti-colonial struggle, war of independence and subsequently of the Algerian state. Keywords: Algeria, colony, nationalism, women, independence. I. Preface It was the century of colonialism. The principal colonial powers were the United Kingdom, France, Russia and the Netherlands. The nations of Europe fanned out across the globe in search of profits and in the process subjugated vast regions of the earth, pillaging the land, destroying old cultures, displacing local languages, transforming ancient customs.

Toward a Minor Theatre: Myriam Ben's
TOWARD A MINOR THEATRE: MYRIAM BEN’S ALGERIAN ANTIGONE Caroline E. Kelley D. Phil. Simone de Beauvoir Institute - Concordia University [email protected] Recommended citation || KELLEY, Caroline E. (2011): “Toward a Minor Theatre:Myriam Ben’s Algerian Antigone” [online article], 452ºF. Electronic journal of theory of literature and comparative literature, 5, 74-98, [Consulted on: dd/mm/aa], < http://www.452f.com/index.php/en/caroline-kelley.html > Illustration || Nadia Sanmartín Article || Upon request | Published on: 07/2011 74 License || Creative Commons Attribution Published -Non commercial-No Derivative Works 3.0 License 452ºF Abstract || In this paper, I read Myriam Ben’s Leïla, poème scénique en deux actes et un prologue as a reinterpretation of Sophocles’ Antigone. I contend that this blend of Algerian theatre, history and Greek tragedy yields a variety of ‘minor theatre’ that sets out to undermine established dramaturgical structures and prevailing historical narratives about the Algerian Revolution (1954- 1962). Working in the outline of a canonical work, the playwright decentres the classic tragedy by way of a thought-provoking technical adaptation while, at the same time, refuting the fictions shrouding the events of the liberation struggle, the Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) and, especially, the military overthrow of President Ahmed Ben Bella by his Defence Minister Houari Boumediene in 1965. Despite the specificity of its context, however, the allegorical nature of the play allows for a sense of universality. While its milieu is undoubtedly post-revolution Algeria, the story it communicates might take place in any country past or present –dictatorships not being limited to North Africa.

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.

Institutions and Political Life.Pdf
INSTITUTIONS AND POLITICAL LIFE Algeria is a unitary State. It has a political presidential system. The president governs without necessarily having the support of the legislative majority. The electoral system is a proportional representation. The right to vote for women was recognized in 1962. Since October 1988, the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria has been a constitutional representative democracy based on a multi-party presidential system supported by the 1996 constitution revised in 2016 and 2020. The State prerogatives are divided between the government, appointed by the president, and the parliament, elected by universal suffrage, for one-reenewable five-year term. The President of the Republic, directly elected by universal suffrage, is Head of State, Head of the Armed Forces and responsible for national defence. He shall govern for one-renewable 5- year term of office. The President of the Republic shall preside over the meetings of the Council of Ministers. He also chairs the High Security Council (HCS). The Council of Government shall be chaired by a Prime Minister or a Head of Government, designated by the President of the Republic. The General Secretariat of Government is essentially a permanent coordinating body for government legal activity. Acting on the authority of the Presidency of the Republic, it ensures that the procedures for drafting legislative and regulatory texts are observed regarding legal drafting techniques, terminology, compliance with interministerial consultation standards and procedures. Like all democratic countries, Algeria has had a bicameral parliament since the entry into force of the 1996 constitution. The parliament is composed of a People’s National Assembly (APN) (whose first legislative election took place on September 20th, 1962, just a few months after independence) and a Council of the Nation.
