The Colonial Ethnic Legacy Of French Divide And Rule Policy In Post Independent Algeria
Authors : Djaaraoui Elhadj . Khalki Smaine .
Abstract
Divide and Rule is one of the policies which were used by the French in Algeria. It was explicitly adopted to embed division and discord in the Algerian social fabrics and primarily between Arabs and Kabyles in matters of identity and ethnicity. The article will discuss the concept and implementations of this policy during the occupation, its aftermath and long term tensions which have lasted and extended to the post-independent and contemporary history of Algeria. Such tensions have led to serious riots and confrontations in the decades following the independence, and they still fuel social, ethnic and identity disturbances in the country. The article will uncover the continuity of the policy's effect on ethnic divisions in Algeria. It will stress the French intervention, its role and its intentions after 1962 as well.
