Abd al Kader: A Symbol of Resistance and Loyalty Abd al Kader, also known as Abd-el-Kader or ibn Muhyi al-Din al-Hasani, was a prominent figure during the conquest of Algeria from 1830 to 1847. This period witnessed his submission to the Duke of Aumale and the French Armee on December 24, 1847. Regis Augustin's painting captures this historic moment, showcasing the surrender that marked a turning point in Algerian history. Stanislas Cbebowski's portrait painted in Constantinople in 1866 immortalizes Abd-al-Kader's dignified presence. It serves as a reminder of his resilience and determination throughout his life. The capture of Smalah is another significant event depicted in historical records. The response by the Duke of Aumale to his General Staff emphasizes Abd-al-Kader's unwavering commitment to defending his people against foreign invaders. Mazagran stands as a testament to Abd-al-Kader's defense strategy during battles fought between February 3rd and 6th, 1840. His leadership ensured that the French army faced fierce resistance from the light infantry under his command. Ben Mahi Ed Din Abd El Kader played an instrumental role during this time period as well. His portrait reflects both strength and wisdom - qualities that defined him throughout history. The loyalty displayed by Algerian Arab chiefs towards France is highlighted on the cover of le Petit Journal, showcasing their dedication despite challenging circumstances. Lastly, we see an image capturing red horsemen fleeing before hunters from the French army - symbolizing Emir Abd-el-Kader’s relentless pursuit for freedom against formidable opponents.
