Problematic

- Our main objective is to know the anthropological context of the French nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara, based on socio-historical and legal approaches.

A series of questions has been rised From this issue, that we hope to answer:

- How we can write the local and collective memory of Reggane and Iniker regions, the nuclear tests sites?

- How do the inhabitants of the two cities transmit the nuclear tests events ? And does the local and collective memory value them?

- Who are the witnesses of these events and are they only the victims?

- How can we determine the impact of the French nuclear tests in the Algerian Sahara without accessing to the military archives held by France?
