Boubaker Adjali (1937-2007) left high school to join the armed struggle within the French Federation of the FLN, wounded, put to work first in the GDR and then as a film student at the mythical FAMU (Emir Kusturica, Milo Forman, Mohammed Lakhdar-Hamina).

At independence, at the age of 23, he held a leading position in the Central Orientation Commission of the FLN. After the coup d'état led by Houari Boumediene, he distanced himself from the arcanes of power until his final departure in 1967 for New York, where he was the regular correspondent for Africasia.

For nearly 40 years, Boubaker Adjali, strengthened by the unfailing friendships he made in the wake of the Bandung and Tricontinental conferences, was a revolutionary and anti-colonialist with no affiliation or chapel, who, half Capa, half Curiel, put his skills as a photographer and documentary filmmaker, as a polyglot and as a fine geopolitical analyst at the service of SWAPO, the ANC and Fretilin (Timor).
