Abstract

This study aims to highlight the figure of Mohamed El-Amin El-Omari, one of the most prominent intellectuals from the Oued Souf region during the colonial period. He was among the few Algerian scholars who gained prominence at a time when illiteracy was widespread across colonized Algeria. Fluent in both Arabic and French, El-Amin El-Omari acquired a dual cultural background that enabled him to play a leading role in the reformist movement of his time. He
actively resisted French colonialism through cultural and journalistic means, using his prolific pen as an effective tool against the colonialist attempts to erase the Arab-Islamic identity of Algeria.
