Benyoucef Benkhedda (Arabic: بن يوسف بن خدة; February 23, 1920 – February 4, 2003) was an Algerian politician. He headed the third GPRA exile government of the National Liberation Front (FLN), acting as a leader during the Algerian War (1954–62). At the end of the war, he was briefly the de jure leader of the country, however he was quickly sidelined by more conservative figures. Benyoucef Benkhedda was born in 1920 in Berrouaghia, Médéa Province. The son of a Qadi, he attended both the local Madrasah and French colonial school. He later attended the Ibn Rochd lycée at Blida where he met Algerian nationalists such as Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, Saad Dahlab, Abane Ramdane, Ali Boumendjel and M'hamed Yazid. "You are the knives which we sharpen against France!" was the oft repeated cry of the college headmaster. More information...
