November 1st, seen by Algerians...
Winter time
The french changed to winter time by setting back their clock by one hour
[the bubble], this weekend the Algerian will set back their clock by 58 years.
Algerians abhor the cult of personality. Emir Abdelkader was a Sufi and conducted himself like any other Algerian in those time. He was a charismatic orator ahead of his time, a pragmatic leader and a fervent human right advocate long before the west knew its meaning.
His family tree
Emir's house
Emir Zaouia
Thank you 7abibi. We have learnt about him in school. He is one of the greatest contemporary Muslims that fought against injustice. He is part of the shared Arab and Berber history of not only Algeria but all the Arab world and dare I say Muslim world. I plan to read some books about him. Can you recommend a specific famous book about him? Preferably in Arabic or English?
