The hero
Abdelkader Ibn Muhieddine known as El Emir Abdelkader was an
Algerian religious man and a military leader. This great hero was born in
1807, in Guetna near Mascara, where he grew up and learnt the Quran
as well as other subjects.
El Emir was a political leader and a brave warrior. He successfully
faced the French army and saved the Christian community of Damascus
from a massacre, in 1860. So, this intervention, which is now called the
human rights, brought him admiration and awards from around the world.
This hero won many battles against the French army. Among his most famous battles are
The Battle of Maktaa, The Battle of Sig and The Battle of Sidi Brahim .The French army
feared El Emir because they were attacked unexpectedly by his army. He defended his land and
protected the Algerian values, language and religion to keep the Algerians unified against their
enemy. However, El Emir’s rebellion ended up and he was forced to surrender. In 1848, he was
transferred with his family and followers to the Chateau d’Amboise.
