#Algeria history

Jamila, the Algerian is a 1958 Egyptian historical film from Youssef Chahine about one of the most important figures in the history of Algeria, Djamila Bouhired.

Quick history lesson.

When the French realized they would lose Algeria no matter what. That it was only a matter of time you know what plan they cooked?

A two states solution named “the Israelisation of Algeria” they wanted a “French Israel” with two states one for the settlers one for Algerians (with a neutral Sahara so they could exploit the ressources). All while praising the success of Israel as a settler colony.

The only country who still has territories on all continents because of its colonialism. A country which to these days still has a settler colony (Kanaky) was out there praising the success of Israel as a settler colony but some of y’all are out there pretending there’s not colonialism involved.

(I would also suggest checking on which side Israel was when indigenous people were taking their land and rights back in Algeria and South Africa. But that deserves its own post one day)

Today 11/1/2024 is the seventieth anniversary of the publication of the Declaration of 1 November 1954 and beginning of the Algerian War of Independence.

The Algerian war was a landmark decolonization war. Algeria had been colonized in the mid 19th century by the French, between 500,000 and 1,000,000 Algerians were killed out of 3 million. The following decades continued with brutal oppression, Algeria was unique because it was legally classified as an integral part of France

The aftermath of the Second World War provided a unique situation. The imperial powers had fought themselves to exhaustion, suddenly formely colonized nation's were able to rise up and begin to cast off the imperial yoke.

The conflict between The National Liberation Front (FLN) and France was incredibly violent. France responded to the revolt with extreme brutality and repression, utilizing mass killings, torture, and concentration camps, 8,000 villages were destroyed and between 500,000 and 1.5 million Algerians were killed. Ultimately the Algerian people prevailed and won independence in 1962. The Algerian War is an important reminder of the horrors of colonialism and the valiant struggle for freedom.

I highly recommend A Dying Colonialism by Frantz Fanon as an excellent look into the Algerian struggle. Fanon once said "having a gun is the only chance you still have of giving a meaning to your death." These words ring especially true today for all people's engaged in a decolonization struggle.

May the independence struggle of the heroic Algerian people never be forgotten.

Long live Algeria

Just wrapped up this DUNE painting! Reverend Mother Jessica Atreides and the Water of Life.

This is my second interpretation of this iconic character. The first version just felt off and less exciting than the rest of the series. For a character with such a significance in the story I decided to go back to the drawing board and redo it from scratch.

Hope you like it! Gurney Halleck next week.

All the best,
