Ali La Pointe
Ali Ammar was born on 14 May 1930 in Miliana, Algeria. He belonged to a poor family. The young Ali had a very difficult childhood during which poverty was prominent by the outbreak of the First World War, while the Algerians were already suffering the horrors of French colonization. The family's financial situation did not allow him to attend school and hence, he used to work in the fields of the settlers. Later, his family moved to Casbah.
