[I'm sorry i was really shocked esp that the comments were disabled, the first two paragraphs while containing misinformations would have passed for me as good-intentioned mistakes (i don't wanna gate keep our history its okay to make mistakes !), but reading the last paragraph, i understood the whole thing should be taken in reverse, they used a consiracy theory (which is dumb by itself and has no place in this discussion) used by some opposants but what's actually evil, is that the opposition they are serving is the FIS? condemning the murderers of Algerians in the same breath as valditating other ones? i don't wanna go into details but this is wild for me (esp that it got attention )]

[I'm an Algerian who would rather discuss the painful genocide of my people over and over again everyday and every night than see misinformation spread about it, weaponizing our struggle for freedom in all the wrong ways, telling half truths without bothering to check them out, speaking in our name without consulting us. this post is full of this , please do not interact with it. I see it as highly unethical and disrespectful for the memory of that painful day.]

[I was working on my South Africa design in the bus (no reference) and i have a draft and whatnot, i'm kinda embarassed with it so i hid them under the cut! enjoy! (or endure? :,D )

Okay so at first i was obsessed with this, bcz its exactly how i wrote him before, but (like always) when i colored i missed the hair texture i was going for (its thicker and not exactly slick) like i often miss Alge hair (its very thin, not curly nor straight) and i hesitated with the skin tone (i have additional drawings, illustrating SA relation with Algeria and Morroco for anyone interested)

(this isn't a haircut the protype 1 wpuldn't make, he changes his pretty often, so plz focus on everything else <3 and vote:]

Some Notes of the Book "8 Mai 1945; the genocide" by Redouane Ainad Tabet.

(Very long post on the coming; I'm noting along as i'm reading! will be updating this post!)

The Algerian nationalists made manifestations all around the nation.

Other places were involved including Tlemcen, Sidi-Bel-Abbas, Biskra, Bejaia, Kherrata, Oued Zenati, Souk Ahras, Skikda, Miliana, Tebessa, Mostaghanem, Relizane...

Setif and Guelma took the biggests blows.

The french side minimize the numbers.

Algerian official numbers of deaths fo to 45000 victim.

Juridical repression counted 4560 arrested, 1476 official prononced condemnation (151 capital and 28 execution)

There was no condemnation on the french side.

It started in S'tif as a scout raised an Algerian Flag.

Snipers were on the ready to shout and it started the chaos.

The 8 mai 1945 was not hazardeous nor an accident.

Manifestations started on the 1 Mai 1945 so colonial officers were warry.

Orders were given by DeGaulle in a telegram saying: "You may use any necessary measures in repressing Anti-French agitations by the agitators minority"

The defeats of the french side took a blow at its pride and the rapproachement of Algerians to the Allies in North Africa worried them.

The Allies needed a calm North Africa to be able to infiltrate Italy, so to calm them, promises were given, until the end of the war.

After Missali Al Haj was detained, The PPA was acting in a clendestin way until Fehat Abbas created the AML (Friends of Manifest and Liberty) which marked a surge of Nationalisme.

The AML was created in 1943 and was asking for the abolition of colonization; the annextion and exploitation of a population in favor of another, this being applied to all nation small and big. The liberation of political prisoners and the participation of Algerians in the direction of the country.

They asked for an Algerian constitution that applied equality for all, recognizing Arabic as a national language, liberty of press and associations, obligatory education for all, Liberty of religion and separating the church from the governement.

Their declaration was inspired by the Atlantic charter.

The most inspiring principal to them was "every people have the right to choose the form of governement they live under"

It inspired AML and PPA so greatly that they spread sheets everywhere conforting nationalists and preparing the manifestations, more than 500K Algerian adhered to the call after that, people everywhere were asking to join.

Algerians were so motivated by the AML that you couldn't go anywhere without your AML card, you couldn't eat in cafés or sleep in hotels either.

While Ferhat Abbas invited everyone to the AML and manifestations, he refrained from contacting the PCF (Algerian communist parti) which still tried to make itself included, all while trying to create a parralel movement "Friends of the democratie" under the order of the colonizer.

Ferhat Abbas relaunched Algerian nationalism with the agreeement of Missali al Hadj.

(Messali Al Hajj is the father of modern Algerian nationalism and autodetermination/return of sovereignity and the PPA is one his parties, AML was legal and branched from the illegal PPA secretly, it was them who organised the manifestations at the end of WW2. PPA was very popular all over Algeria, despite Missali being held.)

Your tattoos are cool! Do they hold a significance for you?

Dzayer: "to be fair, sometimes they have good reasons to appear, but it is difficult to put them all down or predict them. And of course they have a significance!"

Dzayer: " They also have a personal meaning to me. I mean i'd never let anyone write on me unless they had a place in my heart already, so each one of these tats beholds a fond memory."

[Notes: Amazigh tattoos were drawn for different occasions, but mostly for Aesthetic purposes, they were a permanent make up for women who were wishing to look more attractive! So they weren't made for men a lot, or they usually avoided the face. They served many purposes like marking people (especially your women, could be kids) as not to be attacked by other tribes, to distinguish your kids from others when he is a baby (so confusions wouldn't happen), in old times, a new tattoo was drawn in celebration of a victory in a battle wom by their tribe.

Because genders do not work in the same way with countries people wouldn't refrain from Inking Algeria's skin because he looked more like a male, rather he was his people's property so they'd ink his skin all the time. Lovers, friends and even the few relatives scribbled on his skin, many times the ink fade away forever and rarely appear again, but there were tattoos that stayed with Algeria longer and they are the ones that make their return the most often. Example of tattoos below:

(last pic is very sad, bcz those were Algerian women in concentration camps forced to unveil as they took their pictures and called them monkeys, the look in their eyes is that of determination and unsubmission.)]

Sephardi Jewish wedding dress from Morocco, 19th century

Jews have lived in Morocco for thousands of years. Jewish nomadic tribes integrated into all aspects of Moroccan life centuries before the Islamic conquest. During the Spanish Inquisition, the North African coast proved to be an important refuge for persecuted Jews from Iberia, who created a new Moroccan Sephardi identity. Despite religious differences, the proximity of Muslim and Jewish neighbours within Morocco created closely-knit communities, meaning that crafts, customs, culture, art and language were constantly exchanged. Much of the traditional Moroccan culture actually traces its origins to the Moroccan Jewish community.

🎶 MUSICAL NOTES — what type of music does your oc like? do they listen to music very often?

[This is such a good question! Because Algeria keeps a lot to himself as an (alien type) introvert, he has developped his own brand and musical culture with so many diverse genres, so he's kind of a music freak! probably keeps posters in one of his houses with all his instruments and notes and go mass record trashy rai songs /S

Usually music is sited by regions (Naili, Tlemceni, Staifi, Kabyle, Assimi, Chaoui, Sahrawi Targui...etc) but each region can have more than one specific type of music! some independent genres include: Rai Music, Chaabi Music, Al tarab al Gharnati, Andalussi, Al Maluf (al Fargani) , Al Malhun, Zindalii, Hawzi music, Sanaa, Gnawa music, Tindi and so on. Algeria also made its own type of rap pretty early on and incorporated foreign music like Rock, Reggae and Blues in his music. Here's a pretty good spotify playlist if you want to listen to some Algerian music:]

Israel has done what we all predicted and warned about. Simple, pure evil. They pushed Palestinians by carpet bombing everywhere till they all had to go to the least bombed place (No, Rafah was never completely safe. They were bombed there, too, to a horrific degree), and then, after cramming what nears a two million civilians with about 600 thousand children, they are asking them to leave... to where?! Nowhere. They are just saying leave. So then, when they kill them all, they can say 'Oh, we warned them'

It was all predicted, and no one did a thing

Rafah is now the most densely populated place in the world, with a population of about 1.5 million and prehaps more in 64 km2. About 25 miles squere.

25 miles squere

A marathon is 26 miles straight. You can at least run through Rafah in length once and in width twice and pass the 1.5 million Palestinians. That's how crammed it is. With no where to run
