In this episode of Jeel Msh Daye3, we sit down with Ines Bennacer, a writer and politics graduate from La Sorbonne who is documenting the Algerian War of Independence through a perspective often left out of historical narratives.

Drawing on family archives, oral histories, and the story of her late grandmother, Ines is writing a book that explores how women experienced, shaped, and sustained resistance beyond the battlefield. Her work asks what happens when we move history from official archives into the home, and from military narratives into personal memory.

Together, we discuss historical memory, postcolonial storytelling, women's contributions to liberation movements, and what it means for a young person today to preserve and reinterpret the experiences of previous generations.

This conversation is a reminder that history is not only found in textbooks and official archives. Sometimes, it lives in family stories waiting to be told.

In this episode, we meet with Rebecca, founder of Denizens Society and content creator. In this episode, Rebecca tells us about the story of her social and political awakening which started in New York and took her to Cairo, where she currently operates her NGO. She talks us through the process of founding your NGO, volunteering in the Egyptian borders in the early days of the war, to running multiple programmes from dental care, art therapy and rent relief to Gazan refugees in Cairo. Overall, Rebecca tells us about the importance of taking action in the momentum, starting small at each one’s level, and the role of individual action to tackle global issues and injustices.
