Algiers, Correspondence - "Be a man, Yacef! Do not hide, come out and just in front of me." At 73, Louisette Ighilahriz, veteran of the Algerian war of independence, whose testimony is at the origin of the "return of memory" of the 2000s on the war in Algeria, finds himself dragged, in spite of herself, in a new battle.
In addition to the presentation in Algiers of a documentary film, Fidaiyett devoted to fighting the war of independence, Yacef Saadi, 83, former military chief of the autonomous zone of Algiers, lashed out, the April 27, to "women who claim to have taken part in the war" and "excel in the art of doing comedy." Saadi Yacef targeted Louisette Ighilahriz, who "says he was tortured." "I can confirm that it is unrelated to the war of revolution," he said, to general amazement.
The sudden attack caused an outcry from many figures of the war of independence, such Annie Steiner Eliette Wolf and Fettouma Ouzegane, who stood alongside Louisette Ighilahriz, Wednesday, May 4, for a press conference. The same morning, Yacef Saadi had launched a new attack against Ms.
Ighilahriz, demanding to show the "bullet marks on his body." Remarks "disgraceful and slanderous," was outraged Mrs. Ighilahriz whose story to the "A" World, June 20, 2000, caused a considerable shock on both sides of the Mediterranean. On 22 June the same year, General Massu has expressed regret for the use of torture during the war Algeria.
And November 23, always in Le Monde, it was General Paul Aussaresses, alias "Commander O," which is confessed and told how he was tortured and made countless executions during the Battle of Algiers . "I would not undress in front of assistance to confuse [Yacef Saadi]," said Louisette Ighilahriz Wednesday while expressing readiness to accept any further medical opinion.
Former resistant announced its intention to pursue legal Saadi Yacef, before asking him to relinquish his status as a senator who gives him impunity. "If he does not resign, he will be a coward," she said. Born into a family deeply involved in the nationalist struggle, Louisette Ighilahriz was captured by the French army in September 1957 after being seriously wounded by gunfire along with his chief of network, Said Bakel.
Transferred to the headquarters of the 10th Parachute Division in Algiers, the girl, then aged 20, was placed in the custody of Captain Graziani, tortured and raped. "It was hell, so much so that I demanded death. One day, Graziani said, 'this is who you fight!" And he showed me the photo of Saadi Yacef, smoking cigars, and Zohra Drif.
You see they are treated very well! "She said. Half-word, Ms Ighilahriz has taken the widely held in Algiers, but never openly expressed, that Yacef Saadi spoke too easily after his arrest by the French army. But why the former leader of the autonomous zone of Algiers has he been so, fifty years later, a woman whose participation in the war of liberation is established? Many, in Algiers, Saadi Yacef are confident that believes it has a monopoly on the history of the revolution.
He does not forgive Louisette Ighilahriz notoriety, nor the fact that she has broken the taboo of rape by the French army during the Revolutionary War. Amir Akef
