Sherif Boubaghla or Cherif Boubaghla (in Arabic: الشريف بوبغلة , the man with the mule) (full name Muhammad Al-Amjad bin Abd Almalik محمد الأمجد بن عبد المالك) was an Algerian military resistance leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion in the mid-19th century.[1]
His Death
On December 21, 1854, Cherif Boubaghla was wounded by an Algerian spy who was working for France. He fell on muddy ground, then the spy killed him and cut his head and took it to the French ruler of Bordj Bou Arréridj Province. The French ruler fixed the head of Cherif Boubaghla to a pole to let the Algerian people see it.[2][3] After this the French took the head to France.
Return of his skull from France
On 3 July 2020 Algeria received from France the remaining skulls of 24 resistance Algerian anti-colonial fighters. Among these was the skull of Sheikh Bouzian and the skull of resistance leader Mohammed Lamjad ben Abdelmalek, also known as Cherif Boubaghla .[4][5]
