Algeria's past is a crucible of civilizations, from the Numidian kingdoms and Roman Africa to the rise of the Rustamid imamate and the Ottoman regency. This show, hosted by Lucas and Luna, plunges into the violent rupture of French colonization after 1830 — the conquest that devastated the indigenous society, the land seizures that turned peasants into sharecroppers, and the settler colonialism that created a two-tiered world. We trace the resistance of Emir Abdelkader, the Kabyle uprisings, and the crushing of the Mokrani Revolt. The 20th century brings the rise of the Parti du Peuple Algérien (PPA), the Sétif massacre of 1945, and the formation of the FLN. The war of independence (1954–1962) is explored in its brutality: the Battle of Algiers, the use of torture, the internment camps, and the OAS counter-terror. Independence under Ben Bella gives way to Boumediene's military state, the 'socialist' experiment, the black decade of the 1990s civil war against the FIS and GIA, and Bouteflika's rehabilitation. We also examine the enduring legacies: the hirak protest movement, the trauma of the war of memory with France, and the struggle for democracy today. The Casbah of Algiers and the Atlas mountains stand as silent witnesses. This is not a linear timeline but a conversation about power, identity, and the long shadow of empire. #History #AlgerianHistory #NorthAfrica #FrenchColonialism #WarOfIndependence #FLN #EmirAbdelkader #BattleOfAlgiers #STifMassacre #OAS #Boumediene #BlackDecade #AlgerianCivilWar #Hirak #Decolonization #Maghreb #FexingoHistory #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • The 1845 Dahra Enfumades and France's War on Civilians

    The 1845 Dahra Enfumades and France's War on Civilians
    2026/07/21
    In June 1845, French Colonel Pélissier ordered over 500 members of the Ouled Riah tribe to be asphyxiated in the caves of Dahra, west of Algiers. This episode examines the systematic use of smoke suffocation — the enfumade — as a tactic of colonial warfare under General Bugeaud. Lucas and Luna trace the events: the siege of the Sidi Brahim cave, the role of the Bureaux Arabes, the cover-up and scandal in Paris, and the legacy of this atrocity in Algerian memory. We also consider the debate among French officers — including Colonel Daumas, who refused to carry out similar orders — and how the enfumades fit into the broader razzia system designed to break rural resistance. The episode draws on eyewitness accounts and recent scholarship to understand a dark chapter in the conquest of Algeria. #Algeria #DahraEnfumades #OuledRiah #Bugeaud #Pélissier #ColonialWarfare #Razzia #Enfumade #SidiBrahim #BureauxArabes #ColonelDaumas #FrenchConquest #19thCentury #Atrocity #NorthAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #AlgerianHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Algeria 1841: The Razzia System and Bugeaud's Scorched Earth

    Algeria 1841: The Razzia System and Bugeaud's Scorched Earth
    2026/07/20
    In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine General Bugeaud's systematic use of the razzia—a brutal raid-and-burn tactic—during the French conquest of Algeria in the 1840s. They explore how Bugeaud, drawing on his experience in Spain, transformed the razzia from a localized foraging raid into a deliberate strategy of total war against the Algerian population. The episode covers the scorched-earth campaign that followed the collapse of Abd el-Kader's state, the destruction of crops and villages, the controversial 'enfumades' at Dahra, and the establishment of the Bureaux Arabes as a means of control. Lucas also discusses the perspectives of French officers like Colonel Daumas and the reaction of Algerian leaders such as Cheikh Boumaza. The conversation sheds light on how this policy of collective punishment shaped the brutal nature of colonial warfare and left lasting scars on Algerian society. #Bugeaud #Razzia #ScorchedEarth #AbdElKader #Dahra #Enfumades #BureauxArabes #CheikhBoumaza #FrenchConquest #Algeria #1841 #TotalWar #ColonialWarfare #NorthAfrica #History #FexingoHistory #MilitaryHistory #AlgerianHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Algeria 1845: The Dahra Enfumades and the War on Civilians

    Algeria 1845: The Dahra Enfumades and the War on Civilians
    2026/07/20
    In June 1845, French General Pélissier ordered the suffocation of hundreds of Ouled Riah tribesmen in caves near Dahra, on the Algerian coast. This episode examines the 'enfumades' — smoke-outs — that became a symbol of French colonial brutality. Lucas and Luna discuss the strategic context: the razzia tactics of Marshal Bugeaud, the resistance of Cheikh Boumaza, and the moral debates that erupted in Paris when the atrocity became public. They explore how the caves near the Chélif River were used as refuges, how French soldiers lit fires at the entrances, and how the victims — men, women, children — died of asphyxiation. The episode also covers the subsequent cover-up, the French parliamentary inquiry, and the legacy of the enfumades in Algerian collective memory. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and recent scholarship, the conversation asks: was this a calculated military tactic or a war crime? And how did it shape later resistance movements? Specific figures include General Pélissier, Marshal Bugeaud, Colonel de Montagnac, and Emir Abd el-Kader. The episode connects the Dahra enfumades to the earlier enfumades of the Beni Menasser in 1844 and to the broader logic of total conquest. #Algeria #FrenchColonialism #Enfumades #Dahra #OuledRiah #Bugeaud #Pelissier #CheikhBoumaza #AbdElKader #Razzia #WarCrimes #19thCentury #NorthAfrica #Resistance #ColonialViolence #History #FexingoHistory #AlgerianHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
