In the spring of 1962, the atmosphere in Beni-Mazouz was filled with hope as the French colonial forces started retreating from Algeria. The joy of impending freedom filled the streets with chants of "Tahia Djazair [Long live Algeria]!" marking the end of a long struggle against French colonial oppression. The history of Algeria's fight for independence is marred by the brutalities of French occupation, including land theft and widespread torture. Kamira Yassi, a determined member of the National Liberation Front (FLN), played a crucial role in the resistance, carrying out covert operations against the French military. Kamira shattered stereotypes of traditional gender roles, working as a freedom fighter for the FLN while engaging in activities like smuggling weapons and gathering intelligence. Her courage and dedication to the cause made her a respected figure in the anticolonial movement. The story of Kamira's family, rooted in the mountains of Beni-Mazouz, highlights their resilience and enduring connection to the land. Her grandson, Saeed, and granddaughter, Saida, shared tales of Kamira's sacrifices and unwavering commitment to Algeria's independence. The journey through Kamira's legacy parallels the struggles and triumphs of the Algerian people during the war for independence. The narrative paints a vivid picture of a family's enduring bond with their country and heritage, embodied in the olive trees that symbolize their shared history and identity.
