Yahia Boushaki (Shahid)

[6][7][8] His grandfather Ali Boushaki (1855–1965) was Muqaddam of Tariqa Rahmaniyyah in Lower Kabylia and his paternal and maternal uncles were Muslim imams as were his cousins.

[10][11][12][13] In addition to his academic activity in this Sufi environment under the immediate patronage of Imam Brahim Boushaki (1912–1997), he worked in agriculture and animal husbandry near the surrounding villages of Meraldene, Tabrahimt, Gueddara, Azela and Mahrane.

He synchronized his operations in concert with the command of the military region based in the Zbarbar forest where his friend the journalist Mohamed Aïchaoui (1921–1959) was entrenched.

[19] Boushaki prepared in the Blida Province with a command of the National Liberation Army (ALN) an operation against the French Armed Forces during the month of December 1960 in order to deconfine the repressive pressure against the mujahideen maquis east of Algiers, Mitidja and Kabylie.

[1] General Abdelmalek Guenaizia (1936–2019), accompanied by various ministers of the Algerian government, personally bestowed the name of Yahia Boushaki on the active elements of these four promotions.
