description | Following the suppression of the rebellion of 1871, a new form of challenge arose to confront the colonial order in Kabylie. This was the time of emergence of the phenomenon “bandits of honor” and by the end of the nineteenth century, Arezki L’Bashir was the undisputed leader of all "outlaws" roaming the Mizrana, Akfadou and Yakouren forest of the Djurdjuran Kabylie. For various reasons, he left his family and went into hiding in the wilds. Asserting his leadership and instilling order among his followers he became increasingly bold in fighting his enemies. As a result he became a public enemy to the colonial administration who considered him a common thief. For many of his coreligionists, he embodied the image of an avenger of the wrong and champion of the downtrodden. Beloved of the people he received the popular support of the population. The colonial authorities, embarrassed by the turn of events, multiplied their efforts to arrest him. His adventure ended at Ighil M’edjber, near Seddouk, on December 24, 1893. This study, for the most part based on contemporary French sources, presents a portrait of Arezki L’Bashir, presents the peculiarities of his career and the limits of his rebellion within the national framework. |
