Quick Summary

The "Friends of the Manifesto and Liberty" (Amis du Manifeste et de la Liberté - AML) was an Algerian organization formed in 1943. It emerged from the "Manifesto of the Algerian People," drafted by Ferhat Abbas, which initially advocated for collaboration with France and the assimilation of Algerians as French citizens.12

Disillusioned by the French rejection of their proposals for an Algerian constitution and an autonomous republic federated with France, Abbas and others established the AML. This group sought an Algerian autonomous republic federated to a renewed, anti-colonial France. However, the AML was suppressed, and Abbas later joined the more revolutionary Front de Libération Nationale (FLN). The concept of liberty, in general, refers to freedom from arbitrary restraint and the assurance of rights, which can include political participation and civil liberties.13
