Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to expose an historical approach of the main French crimes in Algeria during the war of liberation 1954-1962 .The Algerian civil society was submitted to French cruelty ,i.e., the Algerian labor movement(ALM) paid a heavy cost among its leadership and militants through various means : persecution, assassination, imprisonment, transfer ,fire-out, humiliation and exploitation in order to prevent those workers to take part in demonstration to emancipate their country . Why did French authorities forbid civilians to militate peacefully? and why it did not let them revendicate their requests legally and lawfully ? In this study, we deal with a narrative and analytical approach that suit this kind of topics .As a result ,we can deduce some consequences that were related tightly to French colonialism : civilian society and economy were both damaged and dislocated and forcing thousands of people to refuge in Tunisia and Morocco or immigrate abroad. The ALM appealed for the international community to take responsibility to put an end to these terrible crimes against humanity, and called for an independent investigation to reveal unforgivable and unforgettable French crimes in Algeria ; to discover the ugly face of the western civilization in Africa that ever heard nowadays in various means of media .
