The Algerian-tunisian Front (1951–1956): A Pioneering Experience In Unifying Maghreb Armed Action
Authors : Mimouni Ridha .
Abstract
This article examines the efforts of the Maghreb nationalist movements between 1950 and 1956 to unify armed action against French colonialism, focusing on the model of the Algerian-Tunisian Front. The nationalist parties sought to coordinate their struggle through the Charter of the Maghreb Liberation Committee (1948) and the Maghreb Union and Action Front (1952). However, the divergence between political and reformist orientations on the one hand, and revolutionary ones on the other, limited the effectiveness of these initiatives. With the outbreak of the Algerian Revolution in 1954, coordination attempts were renewed, particularly on the eastern front, where field cooperation emerged between the Algerian and Tunisian resistance movements. The 1955-1956 crisis in Tunisia also contributed to the emergence of the Youssefist movement and the establishment of the Tunisian Liberation Army in coordination with the leaders of the Algerian Revolution.
