Ali Kafi was an Algerian politician and military figure, who served as the Chairman of the High Council of State of Algeria from 1992 to 1994. He was born on October 7, 1928, in El Harrouch, Skikda Province, Algeria, during the French colonial period. Kafi was deeply involved in the Algerian War of Independence against French colonial rule, which took place from 1954 to 1962. As a member of the National Liberation Front (FLN), the main revolutionary movement fighting for Algeria's independence, he played a crucial role as a military leader in the western region of the country during the war.
After Algeria gained independence in 1962, Kafi continued to be active in politics and military affairs. He held various roles in the FLN and the Algerian government, including diplomatic positions. His political career saw him serve as Algeria's ambassador to Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Iraq. These roles helped him gain significant experience in both international diplomacy and the workings of the post-independence Algerian state.
Ali Kafi’s most notable political role came in 1992, during one of Algeria's most tumultuous periods. Following the resignation of President Chadli Bendjedid and the cancellation of parliamentary elections, which the Islamist party FIS (Islamic Salvation Front) was poised to win, Algeria descended into a civil war. To manage this crisis, the High Council of State was established to act as a collective presidency, and Ali Kafi was appointed as its chairman. He served in this capacity from July 2, 1992, to January 31, 1994. His tenure came during the early years of the Algerian Civil War, a violent conflict between government forces and Islamist insurgents that claimed the lives of tens of thousands of Algerians.
After stepping down from his role as chairman of the High Council of State, Kafi largely retired from public life, although he occasionally spoke out about the political situation in Algeria. He published memoirs reflecting on his role in the Algerian War of Independence and his political career, which provide valuable insight into Algeria's post-independence history and the struggles of its leadership during the war and subsequent crises.
Ali Kafi passed away on April 16, 2013, in Geneva, Switzerland, at the age of 84. He remains a significant figure in Algerian history due to his contributions to both the independence movement and the political landscape of post-colonial Algeria.
