In this paper, we aim to shed light on the contribution of one of the men of the village of El Jadida to armament efforts and the Liberation Revolution. The village was known for the involvement of certain families—entire households—in revolutionary activity, among them the family of Taleb Ali Lemqaddem (who, to my knowledge, has not been specifically addressed in academic studies). He contributed to raising awareness and promoting education in his region and encouraged his sons to join the national movement after the Second World War, including Ahmed, Ammar, and Mabrouk. The latter, together with the leader Mohamed El Akhdar (Hamma Lakhdar), formed a group with revolutionaries to coordinate within the plans of the “Secret Organization” to carry out the armed revolution. Following my communication with one of the الشيخ’s grandchildren, Mohamed ben Ali ben Abdelaziz ben Ali Lemqaddem, and my access to the oral accounts he recorded—which he transmitted from his relatives and from those who lived through and witnessed the events of that period—I attempted to present a reading of what was documented, even if only part of the history of this man and his struggle. This work enables younger generations and those interested in local history to become acquainted with the militant history of the men of the village of El Jadida in their struggle against French colonial occupation.
