The Socialist Departmental Council of Seine-Saint-Denis honors an FLN bomber, Danièle Djamila Amrane-Minne

According to Le Parisien , the Seine-Saint-Denis departmental council paid tribute on July 5, 2025 to Danièle Djamila Amrane-Minne , by naming the house in the Parc de la Bergère in Bobigny after her, on the occasion of the 63rd anniversary of Algeria's independence.

At the age of 16, Amrane-Minne became an FLN activist, then a liaison agent and saboteur . She notably took part in the attack on the Otomatic brewery during the Battle of Algiers in January 1957. A bomb had been hidden in the toilet flush.

Sentenced to seven years in prison , she was released and amnestied in 1962. As an academic, she wrote a thesis on the role of women in the Algerian War . She died in 2017 in Algiers.

"The name of Danièle Djamila Amrane-Minne alone reflects the inextricable links […] between the Algerian people and the French people," declared Stéphane Troussel , the socialist president of the department. He also spoke of "a difficult, painful memory, wounded by the concealment of the crimes of colonization."
