Cheikh Haddad calls on followers to join the uprising

📅 8 April 1871 📍 Algerije

Cheikh Aheddad, leader of the Rahmaniyya religious order, publicly called for participation in the revolt against French rule. The appeal helped turn the uprising into a wider movement involving rural communities and followers of the zawiyas. The colonial archive often framed religious networks as threats to order; a decolonial account recognises them as institutions of social authority, communication, and collective action under occupation.
