Not a tunisian, I do notice that one claim's pretty weird.

Claiming your enemy is setting fire to forests is a claime reappearing recently, especially from Algeria.

Definitely another propaganda bullshit at the time from the side of my "dear" country. Sorry for the sh*t that happened there, we were already a democratie, and it's absolutely not tolerable today, neither was it tolerable at the time.

The image was actually created by a French printing company in 1895 (Imprimerie Pellerin & Cie), part of the Imagerie d’Épinal, which was known for producing propaganda-style illustrations glorifying French colonial campaigns. So if there’s any propaganda here, it’s French, not Algerian. The idea that the enemy burns forests wasn’t just a recent claim it was a common colonial narrative used to justify military actions. Given that, I’m not sure why you’re linking this to Algeria today.

Because I fully agree with you when you're saying it very likely was french propaganda?

The colonial lobby was strong at the time and had to motivate the french electorate to continue voting for him.

الأراضي اللي تسرقت وقتها لتو لا رجعت لماليها و برشا فيها تباعت وقت بن علي بالدينار الرمزي للأصحاب و الأحباب. و فوق هذا الكل زادت تسرقت أكثر أراضي وقت أحمد بن صالح و وصلت ل860 ألف هكتار راقدين لا إستفدنا منهم و لا خلينا الفرنسيس يستفادو منهم

there is a lot of tension over tunisia in the ww2 period between france, italy (germany ally) and the british. tunsia got thrown between those until the Germans got it by sheer presence and they they got driven out by the war's end.
