In this episode, Stories of Resistance delves into the historical parallels between the Algerian struggle for independence and the ongoing settler colonial occupation of Palestine. From the brutal colonial rule imposed by the French in Algeria to the echoes of resistance resonating in the Palestinian territories, Ilham highlights the shared narratives of dispossession, subjugation, and relentless resistance. For this goal we sought to explore the legacies of Emir Abdelkadir al Jaza’iri and delve into the interconnected struggles for self-determination and justice.

As we confront the harrowing realities of colonial violence in Algeria, from the Setif genocide to the triumphant victory of the Algerian people over French oppression, we shed light on the atrocities committed by French forces and the heroic resistance of figures like Mostefa ben Boulaid and intellectuals such as Frantz Fanon. The parallels between the struggles of Algeria and Palestine educate us most on the colonial logic embedded in global power structures and call for a renewed commitment to courage and resistance.

Join us on a journey of reflection and hope as we honor the indomitable spirit of those who dared to challenge the status quo and pave the way for a more just world.
