Abane Ramdane

Abane Ramdane (Arabic: عبان رمضان; June 10, 1920 – December 26, 1957) was an Algerian political activist and revolutionary.

At the time, there was an internal struggle between the military and civil factions in the FLN, and Ramdane was accused of creating a "cult of personality".

Abane Ramdane turns his back on the "external" colonels of the Algerian revolution, including Boumediene and Boussouf, in agreement with Ben Bella they prepare a CNRA (national council of the Algerian revolution) which plans to reverse the achievements of the Soummam congress.

In December 1957, under the pretext of requesting his help to resolve a conflict in Morocco he is lured into a trap where he is assassinated by Boussouf and his services.

[5][6][7] A few years after independence, Ramdane was reburied in his native village of Azouza, in Tizi Ouzou Province.
