Abdelhafid Boussouf

Abdelhafid Boussouf (Arabic: عبد الحفيظ بوصوف‎; 17 August 1926, Mila, Algeria – 31 December 1980 Paris, France)^[1] was an Algerian nationalist and a leader of the Front de libération nationale (FLN) during the Algerian War of Independence (1954–62). He was a member of the GPRA exile government, serving as minister of armaments (Ministre de l'armement et des liaisons générales). This body, the MALG, after independence evolved into the (SM), or military intelligence, which eventually emerged as a pillar of the military-backed regimes of Algeria, and whose successor organization (DRS) remains of overwhelming importance in Algerian politics today. After independence, however, he personally left politics and remained outside of the governing circle to pursue a career in business. He died on December 31, 1980 in Paris.  His name was given to the university of his hometown Mila.^[2]
