A french armored vehicle that rubs the Algerians in the wrong way...
La capture d'écran montre une femme militaire française entrain de passer une pièce à un opérateur invisible se trouvant sur un VBCI. Ce blindé portant la mention CONSTANTINE 1837 peinte en blanc à l'avant.
Ce lieu et cette date représentent le climax de la conquête coloniale en Algérie avec la chute de la citadelle. Un an auparavant les forces d'Ahmed Bey avaient réussi à rompre le siège de la ville et repousser les forces du général Clauzel et du Duc de Nemour
A screen shot shows a French female soldier handing a shell to an unseen tankist in a VBCI. The front of thearmored vehicle is a adorned with a painted white label "CONSTANTINE 1837.
The place and the date represent the epicof the colonial conquest in Algeria and the fall of the town.. A year before, Ahmed Bey forces succeeded in in breaching the town siege and pushed back the French forces of general Clauzel antd the ones of Duc De Nemour.
Afin de mieux comprendre cette image il faut se plonger dans l'histoire de l'unité française déployée dans le cadre de l'opération Serval.
Ce véhicule appartient à une compagnie mécanisée du 92 éme régiment d'infanterie mécanisée, qui lui même fait partie de la 3 éme brigade mécanisée.
La prise de Constantine en 1837 fait partie des 14 fait-d'armes de du 92 éme RIL, qui lui même existe depuis la fin du 18 éme siècle.
Il est donc habituel de faire figurer le nom des batailles sur les équipements des unités combattantes ayant un passé "glorieux"
To understand the meaning behind the picture, we need to revisit the combat uni'st history that was deployed in Mali during the "operation SERVAL"
The armored vehicle vehicle is attached to the mecanised company of 92nd infantry mecanised regiment of the 3rd mecanised Brigade.
The fall of Constantine in 1837 was among the 14th famous 92nd RIL armed engagement . This famed unit exist since the end of the 18 century, and it his habitual in army with a glorious past, to have their vehicle sporting the name of their famous battles.
Although France's colonial past is fusing with its neo-colonialist present, does the armored vehicle at the Algerian back door is as innocent as any nondescript vehicle or is it a sign of troubled time to come?
