Chapter 7: The Plagues on the Land of Algeria
Djamila Bouhired looked out from the window of her room located in the heart of Algiers, the capital of Algeria. The sun rose resplendently, illuminating the busy city with daily life. However, behind the beautiful panorama, hidden deep wounds and burning desires in his heart.
Djamila grew in a difficult time under French colonization. His father was a freedom fighter who fought for the freedom of Algeria. The spirit of the father's resistance burned within him, and he promised to continue the struggle.
On a hot day in July 1956, when Djamila was twenty-one years old, he heard the news of the French forces' brutal attacks on civilians in nearby villages. Anger and justice are burning within him. He knew that the time had come for him to stand up and risk his life for the independence of his country.
Without a doubt, Djamila joined the Nationalist Organization of the Liberation Front (FLN). He engaged in a series of resistance actions against French forces, organized underground meetings, and spread the message of resistance to the Algerian people.
However, Djamila's courage and determination did not go unnoticed by the French forces. They tracked FLN activity and set traps to capture the freedom fighters. On a dark night, as Djamila was leading a secret meeting, French troops suddenly surrounded their hideout.
In a state of panic, Djamila and his colleagues attempted to escape. They ran through narrow alleys and took cover behind buildings destroyed by bomb attacks. Djamila felt her heart beating racing, but her determination did not waver. He won't give up.
After fleeing the invasion of French troops, Djamila and some of his comrades managed to reach a remote hideout in the mountains of Algeria. They live in difficult conditions and are always under threat of arrest, but their fighting spirit remains unshakable.
Djamila saw that physical resistance alone was not enough. To defeat the invaders, they must gain the support of the people and the international community. Vigorously, Djamila takes on a new role in the struggle: to be a voice for those who are inaudible.
Thoroughly, Djamila wrote letters recounting the atrocities of the occupiers and the plight of the Algerian people. He sent the letters to the international media and to leading figures in the world.

However, Djamila's bravery and intelligence did not escape the scrutiny of the French forces. One dark day, they stormed Djamila's hideout and captured him. Djamila was tortured and brutally persecuted, but he refused to betray the struggle he had begun.
