El Moudjahid
El Moudjahid, established during the 1954-1962 Algerian War as an FLN resistance information bulletin, is a French-language daily newspaper in Algeria. The paper, whose name translates to “The Martyr,” featured contributions from writer and psychiatrist Frantz Fanon and activist Eveline Safir Lavalette during the independence struggle. After Algeria gained independence in 1962, it became the country’s primary newspaper and served as the FLN (National Liberation Front) army’s propaganda outlet during the single-party period. The paper, headquartered on the Algiers seafront near the Parliament and Central Bank, publishes daily except Fridays.
