الشيخ الفضيل الورثلاني (1906–1959م)‎ من خلال مذكرات المحامي زروق موساوي

Abstract EN

Many historical events have been archived and many others need to be recorded from original sources of scripts, local, national and international archives and even from some unedited scripts which are waiting for release.

To recover them from the shelves of cupboards, we need the help of researchers.

We also need having interviews with those who lived these events in order to get the information from them.

So, my present research tends to uncover the hidden sides of the life of a national, revolutionary hero represented by the person of « Cheikh El Fodil El-Wartilani (1906- 1959)».

He was one of the major members of the « Association of Algerian Muslim Savants ».

He was charged to export the Algerian revolution abroad in Europe and Asia to gather both moral and financial support; knowing that he was very competent to do that.

The task was made possible thanks to Mr Zerrouk Moussaoui's, notes.

He was very close to El-Wartilani in all his mouvements in the East.

Mr Moussaoui accepted to receive us in his home and to deliver to us his testimony about El-Wartilani.

I also read his note edided recently and titeled « Journey of a resistant from Association of Algerian Muslim Savants ».

This note is one among the greatest and richest personal diaries for what it contains as new information about the great role of the « Association of Algerian Muslim Savants » to operate reforms mainly through its great symbols; like El-Bachir El-Ibrahimi and El Fodil El-Wartilani.

This latter is the subject of my present research.

Mr Moussaoui talked about other events and other national heroes whom he met and exchanged both oral and written letters; like Mustapha Ben Boulaid, Si Lahouass, Abane Ramdane.

This note also tells about the coup of June 19th, 1965.

Mr Moussaoui's note is worth reading by other researchers to continue to relate the true story of the Algerian revolution and independance for the coming generations.
