Each Algerian generation grows harder rather than wearier against colonialism

Evidence

We want to show in this first study that on the Algerian soil a new society has come to birth. The men and women of Algeria today resemble neither those of 1930 nor those of 1954, nor yet those of 1957. The old Algeria is dead. All the innocent blood that has flowed onto the national soil has produced a new humanity and no one must fail to recognize this fact. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 86 (#expands, via linked claim)

Having a gun, being a member of the National Army of Liberation, is the only chance the Algerian still has of giving a meaning to his death. Life under the domination has long been devoid of meaning… .” … Such statements, when they are made by members of the Algerian government, are not the expression of an error of judgment or of a “to-the-bitter-end” attitude. They are the plain recognition of the truth. — Frantz Fanon, A Dying Colonialism, 81 (#expands, via linked claim)
