دور الاستخبارات الجزائرية في تأمين مدينة الجزائر و تحرير وهران في القرن الثامن عشر

الملخص EN

The period of the governors of Algeria who bore the titles of Dey and Pasha (the regency of Pashas and Deys), extending from 1711 AD to 1830 AD, is considered as an era of semi-independence from the authority of the Ottoman Caliphate, where the governor of Algeria enjoyed the unanimity of the Diwan in Algeria, starting from the era of Ali Shaush in the year 1711 AD, which led the governors of Algeria to become completely independent from the central authority, and the relation that linked them was not more than spiritual, a kind of dependence based on the form to the Ottoman Islamic Caliphate, which represented the highest spiritual authority in the Islamic world at the time.

This stage can be divided into two main periods, the first extending from 1711 AD, the date of the beginning of that era, until the final liberation of the city of Oran and Marsa El Kébir from the Spanish Occupation in 1792 AD.

Still, the second period includes the remainder of the period of Algeria's association with the Ottoman Caliphate, that is, since the liberation of Oran in 1792 AD until the French Occupation of the city of Algiers, on the fifth of July 1830 AD.

For all the aforementioned reasons and all the other ones, Algeria at that stage was more demanding than before to impose its presence, and to break into the international and local arena in order to play the leading role required of it in the region.

Therefore, it was in dire need of obtaining a large amount of accurate and precise intelligence, And trying to collect as much of it as possible, in order to exploit it in taking appropriate political or military measures, which would protect the country from all harm, at the right time and in the most appropriate circumstance.

The role of the Algerian intelligence in this crucial stage of Algeria's history was very sensitive, and it knew several stations and positions that had a very important impact on the course of events, in Algeria in particular and in the western basin of the Mediterranean region in general, which will be discussed in detail about some of them, which had a great impact and importance in the history of Algeria at that time, and even later, especially since with the end of this era it witnessed the biggest culmination in the history of its struggle with the Spaniards, represented in its final liberation of the city of Oran and Marsa El Kébir in 1792 AD.
