  Harki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Harki (from the Arabic Haraka: "movement") was the generic Algerian term for Muslim Algerians serving as auxiliaries with the French Army, during the Algerian War of Independence from 1954 to 1962.
French historians estimate that somewhere between 50,000 and 150,000 Harkis and their dependents were killed by the FLN or by lynch mobs in Algeria, sometimes in circumstances of extreme cruelty.
Concern at this treatment of the Harkis, who had suffered terribly for their loyalty to France, finally led to the French government freeing them from the camps in the 1970s and 1980s.

As with the pieds-noirs, nothing had been planned for the harkis, and the government refused to recognize their right to stay in France for years, having them live in some temporary internment camps surrounded by barbed-wires.
Recently, the French government has acknowledged their suffering, along with that of the pieds-noirs, and there are many active harkis associations in France who work together with the pieds-noirs associations to keep the memory of these events alive.

Numbering (with their dependants) over 200,000, the harkis maintained that they received insufficient assistance from the French Government and also attacked the Algerian Government for its policy of refusing them entry except on a case-by-case basis and for refusing to let members of their families still in Algeria join them in France.
After another group of harkis had taken five Algerians hostage at Bourges on Aug. 8, it was confirmed the same day that the boy had been allowed to fly to France with the result that both sets of hostages were released.

One of the criticisms levelled against Mekachera is that he’s not a Harki, but an Algerian who was already, at the time of the Algerian rebellion, a French military officer.
Critics say he is not at all well-placed to understand the problems of France’s Harki population.
But, as far as representatives of the Harki community are concerned, Mekachera’s appointment is not only symbolic, it’s also in a way somewhat ‘awkward’.

Although once an artist with frequent and tight album releases, with years the gap between Etemadi’s albums has increased and today after almost 2,5 years of semi-absence he has composed and produced an opus entitled “Aasheghi Harki Harki Shod”.
If you are a fan of the 70’s and 80’s ballads, you’ll probably detect a few familiar fragments in this lovely track.
The music that sounded great back in the relatively completion-free 1997-2000 era is today merely average in comparison with the new arrivals and rivals on the market!
