You didn't remember Den Van Boo?

No!

The same thing happened in Algeria, in Africa.

They didn't have anything but a rank.

The French had all these highly mechanized instruments of warfare, but they put some guerrilla action on.

Hello and welcome to Gorilla History, the podcast that acts is a reconnaissance report of global proletarian history and aims to use the lessons of history to analyze the present.

I'm one of your co-hosts, Henry Huckmacky, unfortunately not joined at this moment by my usual

co-host, Professor Adnan Hussein, who of course is a historian and director of the School of Religion

at Queen's University in Ontario, Canada, although we're hoping he will be able to join us before the end of the conversation today.

With that being said, we have an excellent conversation lined up for us today.

It's a continuation of our African Revolutions and Decolonization series.

Listeners, if you haven't been tuning into past episodes of African revolutions and decolonization,

these episodes are coming out every other week, interspersed with non-series episodes on the

guerrilla history feed and are spaced out between case studies of African revolutionary and

decolonial struggles through history and supplemental episodes,

which can be a little bit more thematic. They can be a little bit more conceptual or theoretical.

So we have a lot of material out. But today we're going to be taking a look at a contemporary

revolutionary struggle in Africa, which is a little bit more unique than the previous

episodes that we've done. Before I introduce our guests, though, I would like to remind you

listeners that you can help support the show and allow us to continue making episodes like this

by going to patreon.com forward slash guerrilla history. That's G-U-E-R-R-I-L-A history. And you can keep up to date with everything

that Adnan and I are doing individually, as well as collectively, by following us on social media.
