Full name Sail Mohamed Ameriane ben Amerzaine, born 14 October 1894, Kabylie, Algeria, died April 1953.
Sail Mohamed was an Algerian anarchist who fought in the Spanish civil war. He served in the French colonial army, then moved to France, where was an activist in the Union Anarchiste (UA) and the Confédération générale du travail syndicaliste-revolutionnaire (CGT-SR) and was founder (in 1923) with his friend Sliman Kiouaneof the Committee for the Defence of Indigenous Algerians, one of the first national liberation movements in French North Africa. He was a passionate anti-Stalinist, rejecting support from the Secours Rouge International, a front organisation of the Communist Party, when he was prosecuted by the French authorities for an anti-militarist article. In 1936, he served in the Sébastien Faure Century, the French-speaking section of the Durruti Column, a libertarian anti-Francoist militia in Spain.
