The battle of Algier

The movie I chose to watch is “The battle of Algeria”

The movie is very interesting because it reminds me the difficulties that most colonized countries specially in Africa went trough to achieved their political independence but not economical because until now the economy of the colonized countries still controlled by the the colonizer. I’m going to specifically talk about the movie, it showed the fight between the French Army who is the occupier, the imperialist in other words and  from 1954 to 1960. The battle lasted for more than five years and the Algerians lost because they were not well organized to win the fight because of their lcak of strategies and the unorganized, inexperienced fighters. In this battle Algerian women played important role. I see throughout the entire movie the determination, the voluntary and the struggle of one people, as one nation to end the french imperialism in their country and conduct the destiny of the nation by the Algerians people. The decolonization war was similar to every french colonies where certain leaders were eleimnated  and their bodies never been recovered. I think of Patrick lumbouba from the Congo. The Algeria war was the worst one in Africa because too many people were killed by the French army and the no sanctions were taken to punish the french for that genocide.
