Biographical Record

A militant in the PPA-MTLD who was imprisoned following the discovery of the clandestine OS, Ahmed Bougara joined the guerrilla forces in the Dahra mountains at the very beginning of the 1954 uprising. Following the martyrdom of Didouche and the restructuring at the Soummam, he rose to command Wilaya IV.

Under his command, Wilaya IV stood as the defensive wall protecting the capital region, defeating elite French colonial regiments in major battles in Chréa, Zbarbar, and the Ouarsenis. He fell heroically in combat on May 5, 1959, fighting to the last cartridge.
