Biography

[edit]

Bouaziz was born in 1928 in Tizi Rached, Tizi Ouzou Province, French Algeria. He served in Algerian nationalist political and guerrilla organizations from a young age, with his nom de guerre being Si Saïd. In 1958, returning from a clandestine trip to Germany with other Algerian fighters, Bouaziz was apprehended at the border and taken into custody by French officials.[1] After Algerian independence, Bouaziz became a deputy in the People's National Assembly during its first Congress. He was named wali of Algiers Province on August 8, 1965, after Ahmed Hamiani's departure.[2]

Bouaziz served as wali until June 21, 1965, being fired from the position after the 1965 Algerian coup d'état two days earlier.[3] Bouaziz died on October 11, 2009, at the El Azhar clinic in Algiers at the age of 81. His funeral took place at El Alia Cemetery.[4]
