Many consider that the beautiful Bo Aked are the most prominent of struggling for freedom in the twentieth century. But the information available for this heroine, which entered the history of the wider doors in the fifties and sixties of the last century, a few to a large extent, and for reasons too vague. In fact, it seems as if a veil is thrown over and around deliberately in an attempt to erase her name and send them to oblivion.

Information about the role - although significant - in the Algerian liberation revolution consists mostly of a few lines scattered here and there. It may be a very easy one to find sources of information and detailed information on a lot of nice guys in the struggle of those who played less important roles to their role. And that the result raises many questions about the reasons and motives, especially as it was hardly a city or town without an Arab street or school named after this great struggle.

It may be easy for us to understand the reasons for attempts to ignore them if we take into account the size of what made beautiful of the Algerian revolution, even after her arrest, or during trial or imprisonment, and the extent of its contribution to the success of the revolution, and later in establishing the importance of the national struggle against colonialism. But the sad thing is that official circles in the country that fought for freedom apologize, politely and exaggerated, from the lack of information on the beautiful Bo Aked, offering instead information about the other personalities. May make matters worse, an official in one of the embassies of Algeria informed me that the only thing available for a beautiful name that is reported to have the lists of martyrs of the revolution, note that the beautiful Bo Aked still alive until this moment.



Beautiful story does not begin with the outbreak of the revolution in 1954, but in fact in the year 1830, when France invaded Algeria and occupied after being consul for the insult at the hands of the ruling Algerian who holds the title of my parents. The Algerians fought bravely, but their enemy was superior to them, several in number. Over the next five decades, the most fertile lands were confiscated and given to French settlers arrived in number to a quarter million at a time when the number of the Algerian people has been steadily decreasing.

The years before the outbreak of the World War II, France has officially annexed Algeria to become the province of French in Africa. In spite of the refusal of the Algerian people to make the French, the occupation forces recruit youth Algeria to fight for France during the war. However, the post-war period was the most bloody for the Algerians of the war itself.

It was clear that France, which emerged victorious from the war, you will eat and launched promises to grant freedom to the Algerians had fought with them. It was natural that this will lead to the outbreak of peaceful demonstrations for months in a row to protest the ill-treatment of the occupation forces after the war (of the famous examples of this limited distribution of the news for Europeans only, while others were Vhsthm of rye bread). More than 15.000 people demonstrated in Mostaganem, without incident. But that soon changed when the French army of committing a terrible massacre in the streets of the town of Setif and its surroundings over the bug a few days in response to peaceful demonstrations.

In the eighth of May 1945, a day chosen to celebrate the Allied victory over Nazi Germany, thousands of Algerians gathered near a mosque in the town for a peaceful march that organizers had previously received approval by authorities. But the French forces which brought in from Constantine, the masses have not slowed much, where slots by fire from machine guns.

Within minutes, the bodies filling the streets of the neighborhood. Witnesses spoke of horrific scenes. It was the band of foreign mercenaries, the famous French military cruelty in the possession of children by their legs and beating their heads and rock walls, and Ibaqron stomachs of pregnant women, throwing grenades in the chimneys of houses to kill the occupants. Have also been those who tried to bury the dead massacres similar to fire machine guns amid the graves.

According to public records that the European settlers repulsed a gesture to demonstrate that they were encouraging their soldiers to kill everyone. Thus, the massacre has expanded over the next few days, invaded farms nearby villages with artillery, aviation use with your child did not get what all the artillery. The fall in the heinous massacre of more than 45.000 martyr Algeria.

Among the reports showing the horror of the event, that the colonel in charge of burying the dead was to blame because of slow at work, he replied: "You kill faster than our energy on the burial."!

The Setif and other similar events taught the Algerians a very important lesson: The French would never give them their freedom if you do not fight for it.

The general climate and beautiful Bo Aked was born and raised in middle-class family. She was educated at a French school, but soon joined the clandestine resistance movement by her brother. And then a dashing young girl with beauty and daring too.

Has worked during the years of the revolution as a liaison agent for the commander Saadi. The unconfirmed reports that she was at some time in charge of armed operations in the capital, Algiers.

The Algerian Revolution of 1954-1965 and one of the most powerful of the struggles against colonialism, which swept through those contracts in Asia and Africa. The first operation went out of the revolution in the first of November 1954, when the guerillas attacked the National Liberation Front, Algeria force in the eastern Aures Mountains. The French then morale suffers a lot after the humiliating defeat suffered by their forces in the battle of Dien Bien Phu, which spelled the end of the French occupation of Indochina, and thus the end of French colonial empire.

The armed struggle was substantial support, especially in rural areas and among the villagers. In the cities, the popular neighborhoods such as the Casbah in the capital, and provided excellent support to the fighters, and became semi-prohibited entry into the occupation forces. The mass demonstrations broke out in the Algerian cities where demonstrators were responding to the Israeli occupation forces with their bare chests, undaunted by death.

French threw all their strength in the face of the revolution, and used the entire army supplied with the latest NATO's weapons. Was attended by well over 400.000 French soldiers in the battles over seven and a half years, in addition to more than two thirds of the Air Force and half the navy. The French also used the most refined in the fight against the national struggle. In addition to tanks and aircraft, and naval blockade, the electric fences used to close the border with Tunisia and Morocco, and established networks connected to the various parts to isolate and hunt the militants, and wiped from the face of the earth more than 8.000 villages in a scorched-earth policy. Did not fall short of resorting to various ways in the complex and diabolical, including terrorism, espionage and torture to suppress the revolution.

The Algerian people are the victims of thousands every day, and the number of martyrs more than a million, and that more than two and a half lost their homes. The city streets were filled with more than 300.000 children are orphans, with 300.000 forced to flee to Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia, where there are additional rules formed the liberation struggle.


Bo Aked was beautiful and one of the hundreds of thousands of activists who wrote them, unfortunately, fall into the hands of the enemy. Was arrested during a raid by French troops and accused of planting a lot of explosives and explosive devices in the capital, which claimed the lives of many of the French. After the torture she was tried in July 1957, convicted and sentenced to death.


But her French lawyer, a strong believer in the right of peoples to self-determination, was not prepared to accept defeat in her case. Thus, the lawyer, Jacques Verges, a public relations campaign and the world covering a wide Bzwayah four, and gained from this cause, and the subsequent similar cases, international fame. The results of the overwhelming pressure of world public opinion in favor of the champion beautiful Bo Aked a decisive impact in forcing the French to postpone the execution of the sentence to death. In 1958, transferred to the prison of Reims.

At the political level, after heavy casualties for both sides, was signed in May 1962 Evian agreements and declare the independence of Algeria. And France had begun months before, and with the progress of the negotiations, the release of Algerian prisoners gradually. When he was released a beautiful, married, after months of her lawyer who embraced Islam and took the name of Mansur.

After independence, assumed the presidency of the beautiful women of Algeria, but was forced to fight for every decision and action taken because of its dispute with the then president, Ahmed Ben Bella. Before the passage of two years, decided it could no longer possible enough, and leave the political arena. She continues to live in the French capital so far, a devoted housewife.
