04The struggle of Emir Abdelkader al-Jazairi

  • A few years afterwards Emir Abdelkader organised the resistance and formed an administration whose capital was Biskra, and the French were obliged to come to terms with him more than once.
  • They concluded the convention of Michaud (1834), recognising the Emir as ruler over central and western Algeria; then they reorganised themselves and launched attacks, and preferred to make the treaty of Tafna (1835) — which they annulled by occupying Constantine (1837).
  • The support of the Sultan of Morocco for the resistance was an essential factor in its endurance, so France bombarded Tangier heavily; Morocco did not continue its support, and the Emir was deprived of using Moroccan soil for the operations of the resistance.
  • That, together with the superiority of French arms, weakened the resistance, and the Emir was at last obliged to surrender in 1847 and was exiled to the Levant (Sham).
