Lyès Deriche, the son of Mouhamed Deriche, housed in his villa in the Algerian commune of Clos-Salembier the meeting of the Group of 22 baptized Revolutionary Committee of Unity and Action (RCUA).[ 2]
On 25 July 1954, in the modest villa belonging to Lyès Deriche, twenty-two Algerians spoke for the unlimited revolution until total independence. They were all elders of the Special Organization who were summoned in the second half of June 1954.[ 3]
Many of them were from families where there were qaids and bachaghas who had studied in the schools of the Association Of Algerian Muslim scholars .[ 4] [ 5]
Lyès Deriche, a friend of Zoubir Bouadjadj , was a former militant of the Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties . He welcomed Mohamed Boudiaf who was the revolutionary leader of Algiers , and had prepared the meal for the participants in the historic meeting.[ 6]
About noon the owner of the house, Deriche, invited the presents to a couscous , and after a short pause they returned to work.[ 7]
