Some families of the Algerian veterans who fought alonside the French military forces during Word War II against the Germans called , after the France’s commitments to the independence of Algeria later, on the Algerian authorities to intervene in conjunction with their French counterparts to resolve their outstanding rights, similarly to their former comrades in arms who had received grants for their war effort.

• Sons of the Algerian combatants who fought with the French troops, and whose fathers are still deprived from grants of the military service, contacted the French authorities asking them about their social rights that resulted from years of exploitation.
• Many cases, available to Echorouk, including the case of the warrior Ahmed Lamiri, from Souk Ahras, east of Algeria, who joined the French armed forces on the 19th November 1937 until  14th October 1941 during WW II.
• Official documents by the French Defence Ministry prove all the facts. French authorities recognized them only after his death; however, his family said that they had contacted the former French president Jacques Chirac who transmitted the case to the judicial authorities and the immigration office but they are still waiting for new decisions.
