Description
The Algerian War, also known as the Algerian Revolution or the Algerian War of Independence, occurred from 1954 to 1962 between France and the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). It resulted in Algeria gaining independence from France. This complex conflict involved guerrilla warfare and war crimes, escalating into a civil war within and between communities. The war primarily unfolded in Algeria but had repercussions in metropolitan France.
Ahmed Zabana (1926-1956) was an Algerian militant in the Algerian War. He led a successful operation in Lamarda on November 1, 1954, but was captured in the Battle of Gar Bouklida on November 11, 1954. Wounded, he was sentenced to death on April 21, 1955, and executed on June 19, 1956, after being transferred to Serkadji Prison in Algiers.
