The Tripoli Congress (27 May– 7 June 1962), The Future Of The National Liberation Front, And Its Relationship With Liberation Forces In Africa

Authors : Abd El Malek Sadek .

Abstract

The outcomes of the Tripoli Congress, held in the Libyan capital between 27 May and 4 June 1962, were not limited to addressing internal issues related to the post revolution period and the organization of the newly independent Algerian state. The congress also affirmed the international dimension of the Algerian Revolution, especially within its African environment. It confirmed Algeria’s firm commitment to support liberation movements across the world, and particularly in Africa. This support included different forms of political, military, and logistical assistance to peoples who were still under colonial rule. The study shows that this policy was closely linked to the experience of the Algerian liberation revolution itself. It represented a natural continuation of the spirit of solidarity that characterized the revolutionary struggle. The Algerian leadership sought to transform the country into a space that supported the struggle of African peoples and into a center for coordinating the efforts of liberation movements.
