الملخص EN

After the French occupation of Algeria in 1830, they began their expansion in the interior regions in order to consolidate the foundations of the empire.

However they found them selves facing difficulties in communicating with the people, due to their ignorance of their language, customs and traditions, and lack of good knowledge of the roads and routes leading to the interior.

So the tribal sheikhs and their leaders were exploited to serve the colonial interests and the expansion projects, through an administrative body that would be the link between their and the people, so that is Arab offices.

In this article, we will try to examine the Arab offices, their role and development during the era of the Second Republic 1848-1852.

We will also discuss how notable families and leaders were employed and given titles and privileges within the framework of Arab offices, such as the family of the Oulad Sidi Sheikh, Ben Qana, Boukkaz, and Ben Babia.
