Soummam Assembly

The Soummam Assembly was a crucial meeting held in 1954 during the Algerian War of independence. It brought together leaders of the National Liberation Front (FLN) to organize their efforts to fight French colonial rule. The assembly established a unified structure for planning and coordinating the independence movement, emphasizing political coordination, military strategy, and regional representation. It laid the groundwork for Algeria’s eventual independence by creating a cohesive leadership and setting the foundation for a future independent government. In essence, it was a key step in uniting various groups to effectively pursue independence from France.
