Algiers, Algeria – The Algerian government has announced the reactivation of the national committee responsible for reviewing and processing applications for recognition of membership in the National Liberation Front (FLN) and the National Liberation Army (ALN) during the Algerian War of Independence. The announcement was made by the Minister of Veterans and Rights Holders, Abdelmalek Tacherift, earlier today.
The responsibility for overseeing the committee’s operations has been entrusted to the National Organization of Mujahideen (veterans of the Algerian War), a move seen as a significant step in ensuring the integrity and fairness of the process.
The committee is tasked with examining existing applications, correcting any errors in membership records, and evaluating new claims from individuals seeking official recognition for their participation in the liberation struggle. This process is crucial for granting veterans and their families access to benefits and entitlements provided by the state.
The decision to reactivate the committee and place it under the purview of the National Organization of Mujahideen underscores the government’s commitment to honoring the sacrifices made by those who fought for Algeria’s independence. It also aims to address long-standing concerns regarding the accuracy and completeness of historical records related to the War of Independence.
This move is expected to bring closure to many individuals and families who have been seeking official recognition for their contributions to Algeria’s liberation. The National Organization of Mujahideen is expected to announce further details regarding the committee’s operational procedures and application deadlines in the coming days.
The reactivation of this committee comes at a time when Algeria is preparing to commemorate the anniversary of its independence, further highlighting the importance of recognizing and honoring the nation’s veterans.
