Description

January 7, 1936, Sous-Préfecture de Batna – The Deputy Prefect of Batna issues a surveillance report on the indigenous population for the period from December 15 to January 1, 1936. He specifies that the situation in Biskra is relatively calm despite some signs of unrest attributed to General Councilor Dr Saadane, and details some key facts. A political circle « Nadi Echabbab » is suspected of wanting to destroy the authority of the Caïd and encourage resistance to the Administration. Strict surveillance of the population is exercised.
