Algeria's 1946–54: From Sétif to Toussaint Rouge

View show details

In the years between the 1945 Sétif massacre and the 1954 Toussaint Rouge attacks that launched the Algerian War, a clandestine revolutionary movement took shape. This episode traces the formation of the Special Organisation (OS), the break with Messali Hadj, the rise of the nine historical leaders (neuf historiques), and the decision to launch armed struggle. We discuss the OS's 1949 attack on the Oran post office, the arrest and escape of Ahmed Ben Bella, and the split that created the FLN. Specific names, dates, and places anchor the narrative: Mostefa Ben Boulaïd, Larbi Ben M'Hidi, Rabah Bitat, the Aurès mountains, and the secret Soummam valley meeting that would follow years later. No broad strokes—just the gritty details of a revolution in waiting. #Algeria #FLN #ToussaintRouge #OS #MessaliHadj #AhmedBenBella #MostefaBenBoulaid #LarbiBenMHidi #Sétif #Aurès #Oran #AlgerianWar #decolonization #Maghreb #neufhistoriques #history #FexingoHistory #NorthAfrica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
