Friends of the Manifesto and Liberty
- Friends of the Manifesto and Liberty
Friends of the Manifesto and Liberty (in French: "Amis du Manifeste et de la Liberté") was a political movement in colonial Algeria.
It was founded in March 1944 to publicize and defend the Manifest du Peuple Algerien. Its demands included equal rights for the Muslim population and an autonomous Algeria federated with France, the colonial power. Since the more radical Algerian People's Party (PPA) of Messali Hadj was outlawed, the AML became the largest political party in Muslim Algeria of its day. The French officials used the Sétif disturbances of May 8, 1945 as a pretext for dissolving it and arresting its leader, Ferhat Abbas.
A similar movement, the Union Democratique du Manifeste Algerien was founded the next year.
