From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sail Mohamed Ameriane ben Amerzaine (October 14, 1894-April 1953) was an Algerian and French anarchist who fought in the Spanish Civil War.
Born in Kabylie, French Algeria, Sail Mohamed served in the French Colonial Forces, then moved to France, where he was an activist in the Union Anarchiste (UA) and the Confédération Générale du Travail-Syndicaliste Révolutionnaire (CGT-SR) and was founder (in 1923) with his friend Sliman Kiouane of the Committee for the Defence of Indigenous Algerians, one of the first national liberation movements in French North Africa
He was a passionate anti-Stalinist, rejecting support from the Red Aid, a front organisation of the French Communist Party, when he was prosecuted by the French authorities for an anti-militarist article. In 1936, he served in the Sébastien Faure Century, the French-speaking section of the Durruti Column, a anarchist anti-Francoist militia in Spain.
