The family of Emir Abdelkader El-Djazairi, a leader of the Algerian resistance movement, rejected France s endeavour to build a statue of him, according to the recommendation of a report issued in Paris last month regarding the colonial era in Algeria.
Emir Abdelkader (1808-1883), considered the founder of the Algerian state, was a writer, poet, politician, military commander and one of the leaders of the Algerian resistance movement against the French colonialism in the nineteenth century.
