22 March 1956




Mustapha Benboulaid was born in February 1917 in Arris, wilaya of Batna, in a conservative environment.
He started his education in Arris primary school then in Batna where he joined the school of the AOMA (Association des Oulemas Musulmans Algeriens).

He left Algeria to France when he was 20 and was already concerned by the situation of the Algerian workers there. He thus founded a union to defend their rights.

In 1939, he did the compulsory military service in the Algerian 11th Regiment Riflemen, reaching the rank of Corporal. He then was mobilized during WWII. He did a great job and was awarded "La Croix de Guerre" for his courage and reached the rank of Adjutant.
After the war, he operated a bus company and led a group (an association) of local traders.

Benboulaid joined the PPA (Algerian People's Party) in 1946 and was elected in 1948 in the Algerian Assembly. But the French authorities cancelled the results and started monitoring him very closely.
He joined the MTLD (Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties) after the PPA was banned and started, with the other nationalists, the preparation of an action against colonialism.
He was an active member of the OS (Special organization) since its creation and provided political and military trainings to its members in the Aures. He even used his own moneys to buy the arms from Libyan merchants.

On June 1954 he and his comrades created the CRUA (Revolutionary Committee for Unity and Action) and he was the responsible for the Aures area (Wilaya I). He even was a member of the committee of the six (comite des six).
He commanded the military attacks in the Aures in the night from 31 october to 1 november 1954, which announced the beginning of the Algerian war of indepedence.

During the Algerian revolution, he supervised the distribution of the weapons. He went to Libya in 1955 to purchase more arms but was arrested on February 11th. The military court condemned him to a death sentence; but he could escape with Tahar Zbiri in November 1955 and resumed his wilaya I command. He took part in many battles like Ifri elblah and ahmar khaddou.

On the 22nd of March 1956, he was killed by a booby-trapped field radio, parachuted by French troops.

Allah yerahmou. didn't know he did so much. I studied in a school named after him but never knew he was from Batna. Our mujahideen were business men too

[bentAljazair]

The more I learn about our martyrs and how brave they were, the more I despise what we became.

Ya Fatony they used money for the sake of Aljazair. Now our businessmen use Algeria for their own benefits.
What a difference man!

[Fatony]

Yes bent that's understandable.

Ahmed Rachedi started shooting a movie about his life. Last news I read was that the actor who plays Ben Boulaid, Hacene Kechache, broke his leg in one of the scenes and is unable to continue; so Rachedi was looking for another actor. Don't know when the movie will be on.

The movie will b shown in DZ on November 1st.
I can't wait to see which "version" of the history (story) is adopted.

''الخبر'' تحضر مشاهد من فيلم ''بن بولعيد''
54 مليارا لفيلم تاريخي سيفاجئ الجمهور



في انفراد خاص بـ''الخبر''، حضرنا بعض لقطات من فيلم المخرج أحمد راشدي الأخير ''مصطفى بن بولعيد''،
بمقر مؤسسة ''ميسان بلقيس للإنتاج''، والذي وصل إلى مرحلة التحميض التي تتم خلال هذه الأيام بإيطاليا، على أن يتم عرضه الشرفي الأول في الفاتح نوفمبر القادم.
حسب متابعتنا لبعض المشاهد من الفيلم، فقد لمسنا مسحة من الاحترافية على العمل المنجز على مدار 20 أسبوعا، وحسب كاتب سيناريو وحوار الفيلم، الصادق بخوش، فإن عمله ''لم يلامس سوى 40 % من حياة بن بولعيد''، مؤكدا أن مخزون المشاهد المصورة يكفي 80 ألف متر من الشريط الفيلمي، يسمح بتحويل العمل إلى مسلسل من 15 حلقة كاملة.
وأضاف محدثنا بأن شخصية بن بولعيد ''تستوجب الوقوف عند ديدوش مراد ومحمد بوضياف وكريم بلقاسم والمسؤولين عن النواحي في منطقة الأوراس أو خارجها وكل الزعماء الستة وصولا إلى مجموعة ,22 وكلها كشخصيات عايشت السياق التاريخي الذي أحاط بالشهيد.
ومن الشخصيات التي يتوقف عندها الفيلم نذكر مصالي الحاج خلال الأربعينيات والخمسينيات، ومن خلاله وغيره تفتح القصة نوافذ عابرة على الصراعات التي لازمت المشروع الثوري في بداياته، وتطور الأحداث فيما بعد إلى غاية استشهاد بن بولعيد في 22 مارس 1956، إثـر انفجار مذياع مفخخ وضعه العدو للقضاء على الشهيد بن بولعيد.
وفي هذا السياق يقول المنسق العام بأن عملية التحري التي سبقت كتابة السيناريو، أفضت إلى تأكده من استشهاد البطل، ولم يغدر به نتيجة خيانة من رفقائه مثلما يشاع، خصوصا- يضيف محدثنا- أن ''بن بولعيد كان شديد الفطنة، وأتعب كثيرا جهاز المخابرات الفرنسي الذي فشل في الكثير من المرات في اغتياله''.
ومن جهة أخرى أكد بخوش بصفته المنسق العام للفيلم، أنه لم يتوقف عند الحدود التاريخية للأحداث، وذلك قصد فتح آفاق المخيال الفني بهدف توظيف الفرجة السينمائية في المادة المقدمة للجمهور.
وبخصوص الممثل حسان قشاش الذي أسند له أداء دور بن بولعيد، قال بخوش بأنه ''استطاع أن يفهم الأبعاد السيكولوجية لبن بولعيد، ويستوعب ويحفظ، ويصبر على المكاره أيضا''.
وبخصوص الإمكانات المادية الضخمة التي رصدت للمشروع، والتي وصلت إلى 45 مليار دج، إذا ما احتسبنا مساهمات وزارتي المجاهدين والدفاع، فيما يخص العتاد الحربي، فقد أكد محدثنا، أن المشاهد سينال حقه من الفرجة المنتظرة، وهو ما يؤهل العمل للمنافسة السينمائية في المهرجانات الدولية.
يذكر أن الفيلم استعان بخبرات عربية وأجنبية من إيطاليا، بالإضافة إلى الطاقات الوطنية، كما أن رئاسة الجمهورية قدمت دعما ماليا قدر بـ150 مليون سنتيم، مع إمكانية دخول التلفزيون الجزائري كمساهم في الإنتاج
