"A whole army, though they can neither write nor read, are not afraid of a platform, which they know is but earth or stone; nor of a cannon, which, without a hand to give fire to it, is but cold iron; therefore a whole army is afraid of one man."

Army

Quote_1.png
Ahmed Ben Bella
"Algeria was therefore only the beginning of something that was in development: this is why I say that it's the global capitalist system that finally reacted against us."

Beginning

Quote_1.png
Ahmed Ben Bella
"My life has been a bit special, this is true. I participated in the liberation of my country. I was one of the organisers of its struggle for liberation. I likewise actively participated in all the struggles for liberation."

Nation

Quote_1.png

Globalization

Ahmed Ben Bella

Peace

Quote_1.png
Ahmed Ben Bella
