A proposito di questo titolo

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the brutal French conquest of Algeria after the fall of Abd el-Kader. They explore the policy of 'scorched earth' implemented by General Bugeaud, the destruction of the tribal system, and the controversial 1845 'enfumades'—the suffocation of entire communities in caves. The discussion covers key figures like Marshal Thomas-Robert Bugeaud and the Emir's eventual surrender in 1847. Lucas sheds light on the land confiscations that dispossessed Algerians and the establishment of settler colonialism, setting the stage for decades of resistance. The episode also touches on the 1871 Mokrani Revolt, a major uprising led by Cheikh Mokrani and the Rahmaniyya Sufi order, which was brutally suppressed. Luna's sharp questions draw out the human cost and the long-term consequences of these events, tying them to the broader narrative of Algeria's struggle for independence.
