Mohamed Khider (Arabic: محمد خضر) (March 13, 1912, Biskra, Algeria – January 4, 1967, Madrid, Spain)[1] was an Algerian politician.

[2] Mohamed Khider was one of the original leaders of the Front de Libération nationale (FLN), having been previously active in its nationalist predecessors, the Étoile Nord-Africaine and Parti du Peuple Algerien (PPA) of Messali Hadj.

In 1956, he was part of a group of FLN politicians (Khider, Ahmad Ben Bella, Hocine Aït Ahmed, Mohamed Boudiaf and Rabah Bitat) captured by France in an airplane hijacking.

Two years later, while incarcerated in France,[3] he was an elected member of the GPRA exile government, holding the symbolical post of Minister of State.

Boumédiène's army, built up outside the war zone in Morocco and Tunisia, quashed resistance among GPRA loyalists and guerrilla units inside Algeria, as it moved in from its border area bases.
