The Transitional Phase (March 19th - July 5th, 1962) in Algeria through the Iraqi Press

Abstract

Iraq did not hesitate in declaring its clear and explicit position in supporting the Algerian Revolution (1954-1962) from the moment it erupted on November 1^st, 1954. It supported the revolution with all possible material and moral resources, and both the Iraqi people and government, whether under the monarchy or the republican era, embraced the Algerian Revolution from its early days. This position reflects the strong ties between the two peoples. From this perspective, the Algerian Revolution found a media platform in Iraq working vigorously to highlight and raise awareness about it among the Iraqi public first, and the Arab public second. Here, we refer to the Iraqi media with its various affiliations and orientations, especially the print press, which followed the events of the revolution with great interest from its first day, heralding and forecasting the victory that would be achieved by the heroes of the National Liberation Front and the sons of the Algerian people.
