The Bear and the Sentinel

A sentinel is surprised by some bears and climbs up onto his sentry box in order to hide himself. He takes off his uniform and throws it at the bear, but this does not affect the animals in the slightest and a gun shot has no better effect. One bear creeps into the box, when a brigand arrives who does not know that it is there, and seeing the soldier's garments wants to steal them, but no sooner is he going to take them away than the bear rushes on him. The soldier pushes the box over the fighters and calls for help. Some other soldiers are coming and they lift up the box, but to their great surprise they find only the bear's head and the brigand's cap. A drama must have happened inside.

Messali Hadj - A Life In Service To The Algerian People

The life and political activism of Messali Hadj (1898-1974), an Algerian internationalist politician who played a pioneering role in the process leading to Algerian independence, which he demanded as early as 1927. He was initially secretary of the North African Star (ENA), then in 1937 he founded the Algerian People's Party (PPA), in 1946 he founded the Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties (MTLD), and finally in 1954, the Algerian National Movement (MNA). In 1937, the leadership of the North African Star (ENA) created its flag, green with a white star and crescent. Messali Hadj's wife, Emilie Busquant-Messali, simply sewed this ENA flag by machine; it would later become the flag of the PPA. In 1943, Messali Hadj, in conjunction with the party leadership, created the ENA-PPA flag, green and white with a red star and crescent, which would later become the current flag of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria.
