About Abdelhafid Boussouf

  • Abdelhafid Boussouf (Arabic: ??? ?????? ??????; 17 August 1926, Mila, Algeria – 31 December 1980 Paris, France) was an Algerian nationalist and a leader of the Front de libĂ©ration nationale (FLN) during the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62).
  • He was a member of the GPRA exile government, serving as minister of armaments (Ministre de l'armement et des liaisons gĂ©nĂ©rales).
  • This body, the MALG, after independence evolved into the SecuritĂ© militaire (SM), or military intelligence, which eventually emerged as a pillar of the military-backed regimes of Algeria, and whose successor organization (DRS) remains of overwhelming importance in Algerian politics today.
  • After independence, however, he personally left politics and remained outside of the governing circle to pursue a career in business.
