Loyal Muslim caids were alienated by France’s abolition of their system

Evidence

Since 1954 the corps of caids had lost twenty-seven dead, four missing and presumed dead, and nineteen wounded. The “good” caids were resentful of what they felt to be France’s shoddy treatment of them, and one remarked pointedly: “Since France rejects us, she had better not count on us any longer.” Poor France; how many of her best-intentioned reforms would end by losing as much as they gained! — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 477
