Matoub Lounes: Hymn to Boudiaf

Muhammad Boudiaf was an Algerian political leader and one of the founders of the revolutionary National Liberation Front (FLN) that led the Algerian war of independence (1954-1962). In February 1992, after a 27-year exile in Morocco, he became chairman of the High Council of State of Algeria. On June 29, 1992, he was assassinated during a public speech at the opening of a cultural center in Annaba. Boudiaf was considered the Hope to save Algeria from the Islamists.
