The National Heroes of Algeria were those valiant martyrs who sacrificed their lives to bring power and glory to the imperial forces. Since Algeria had been under the French colonial rule for more than a century, its people endured suppression in various forms. Apart from the freedom of expression and the freedom to practice religion being snatched away, the colonial suppression existed in the way people were subjected to slavery. And under this slavery, they unknowingly cultivated a kind of loyalty for the French colonizers. Thus they happily accepted to fight for the cause of liberation of the French from Nazis. They fought with all their strength to help the colonizers to remain independent untamed rulers.

However, it is very pathetic that they didn’t receive any reward for their extraordinary bravery and remained unnoticed and unappreciated by the ruthless colonial power. Frantz Fanon, a famous writer and thinker, also became a victim of the French tactics, with which they used to take undue advantage of the forced slaves they had in Algeria and also in other colonies. Frantz Fanon fought for the French war and got severely wounded. Just like him, there were several martyrs who got buried into violent history, receiving death and ignorance in return. The French government awarded all the credit to its own soldiers who did nothing more than inflicting pain and misery on poor slaves.
