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]

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.
