Mabrouk Belhocine

Mabrouk Belhocine was born in Bejaïa and earned his law degree at the University of Algiers, defending nationalist prisoners arrested after the May 8, 1945 massacres. In 1955, he helped establish the General Union of Muslim Algerian Students (UGEMA), serving as president of its constituent congress.

Assigned to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the GPRA in Tunis, Belhocine led diplomatic missions to China, Egypt, and Europe. In his later years, he authored essential historical volumes, notably 'Les Étudiants algériens dans la guerre de libération' and 'Le Courrier Alger-Le Caire', providing vital documentary evidence on the inner workings of the revolution.
