Authors : Goual Fatima .

Abstract

Algeria experienced over a century of harsh French colonialism characterized by oppressive policies. Facing this occupation, the Algerian people launched successive uprisings led by figures such as Emir Abdelkader. Combining courage with political intelligence, he led a determined military and political resistance aimed at liberating his homeland and restoring its dignity. This study presents a scholarly analysis of Emir Abdelkader's personality, with particular focus on his diplomatic dimension. The research uses historical methodology and political psychology to examine Emir Abdelkader's character. The study demonstrates the importance of the diplomatic aspect in the Emir's personality and concludes that he was an exceptional leader with strong diplomatic abilities who showed considerable wisdom in handling sectarian crises and armed conflicts
