Just saw that Felix Colozzi died this week and was buried in the Martyrs’ square of Al Alia in Algiers.
This man was a settler but by fighting alongside Algerians for the liberation he became one of us. He fought, was captured, jailed and tortured alongside our grandparents and great grandparents. At the liberation he chose to stay in Algeria as an Algerian. He finished his studies to become an engineer and worked in the country he chose to call home and had fought for.
By fighting for liberation and for an Algerian Algeria he also freed himself of his status as a settler. This is what I mean when I say that as a settler there’s only two options to stop being a settler. You either get the fuck out or you join the resistance and fight alongside the colonized for liberation, which will in the process free tou from your status as a settler. This is what I mean when I say we need more porteur de valises (more Felix Colozzi, Maurice Audin, Fernand Iveton, Hélène Cuenat, Yvon Bresson, Charles Geromini…) and less liberal settlers also known as Albert Camus.
