Abstract

• Abstract: In this article, we will address the migration of Algerians from their lands to other lands within and outside Algeria, as it is a voluntary phenomenon by nature. However, the movement and departure of Algerians from their lands was forced, especially along the 1,200-kilometer coastline facing France and 150 kilometers inland, until it was mainly settled by Europeans. It decided to turn Algeria into a settler colony, leaving Algerians with no choice but to move to the mountains or high plateaus. The movement of Algerians from their land to other areas within and outside Algeria cannot be described as migration, as it is a voluntary phenomenon by nature. However, the departure of Algerians from their lands was compulsory and against their will, especially along the 1,200-kilometer coastline facing France and 150 kilometers inland, until Europeans settled there. They decided to turn Algeria into a settler colony, leaving Algerians with no choice but to move to the mountains or high plateaus. The method of displacement was prevalent in the recommendations of the government that controlled Algeria, as the method of displacement and separation of the population through confiscation of property allowed for the construction of villages inhabited by settlers.
