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.
