This episode dives into one of the most decisive and controversial military tactics of the Algerian War: the Morice Line. Starting in 1957 and fully operational by 1959, this electrified fence system along the Tunisian and Moroccan borders was designed to choke off the FLN's external supply lines. We focus on the Battle of the Borders, where the ALN's attempts to breach the line led to devastating losses. Lucas and Luna explore the engineering of the barrier, the human cost of the minefields and machine guns, and the strategic dilemma it posed for the revolutionaries. Figures like Houari Boumediene, Abdelhafid Boussouf, and Lakhdar Bentobal come into focus as the ALN leadership debated whether to risk everything on a frontal assault. We also touch on the political fallout: the line deepened divisions between the internal wilayas and the external ALN, setting the stage for the post-war power struggles. A story of desperation, ingenuity, and the brutal arithmetic of modern counterinsurgency. #MoriceLine #BattleOfTheBorders #AlgerianWar #FLN #ALN #HouariBoumediene #AbdelhafidBoussouf #LakhdarBentobal #ChallePlan #ElectrifiedFence #Tunisia #Morocco #Counterinsurgency #SoukAhras #Ghardimaou #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
