Abstract
Albert Camus died on January 4, 1960, two and a half years before the independence of Algeria on July 5, 1962. Albert Camus' position on the "events in Algeria" has been the subject of numerous discussions, multiple debates and various interpretations. The positioning of Albert Camus is representative of the many rifts that the Algerian conflict generated, in his time and afterwards, on many protagonists and analysts. Albert Camus, with his personal history related to Algeria, with his knowledge of the Algerian context and its political and socio-economic specificities, with the sharpness of his philosophical reflection, seemed well placed and equipped to understand and analyze the Algerian war since its outbreak on November 1, 1954. However the reality shows a more complex, more tormented position. Hence the resulting strange equation, which is made of misunderstandings, questions and fractured lines that still feed today a sometimes complex and embarrassed debate.
