Abane Ramdane
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abane Ramdane (June 10, 1920, Larbaâ Nath Irathen – December 27, 1957) was an Algerian revolutionarist born in Kabylie. He was the architect of the Congress of Soummam in 1956.
The National Liberation Front (FLN) had him killed because he was supposedly creating a cult of the individual rather than the collective leadership. He was "super-political" and his murder was disturbing to many FLN members including President Boumédiène who, according to the book, A Savage War of Peace, kept the assassins out of his future Algerian government.
A few years after independence, he was reburied in his native village of Azouza in Tizi Ouzou Province.[1]
