Young nationalists contemptuously dismissed French-appointed Muslim intermediaries as rubber stamps
Evidence
More and more the administrator came to rely on these Muslim intermediaries; some were venerable and honourable old men, laden with decorations, who had fought for France, or served her loyally and with integrity; others owed their position purely to family and tradition, and were known contemptuously by young nationalists as the Beni-Oui-Oui, the rubber stamps of French policy; still others were appallingly corrupt. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 95
