Abstract FR:
En 1849, bouzian, habitant d'un petit village des ziban, en l'occurrence zaatcha, souleve la population de sa region et son mouvement se developpe par la suite, englobant le sud- constantinois. En depit de tous les moyens mis en oeuvre, au cours des mois de mai et juin 1849, par l'autorite francaise des ziban, afin d'aneantir l'insurrection de zaatcha, le mouvement de bouzian ne cesse de s'intensifier. Au debut du mois de juillet 1849, une expedition militaire, commandee par le colonel carbuccia, gagne les ziban, dans le but de mettre fin a l'insurrection. L'echec de cette expedition permet a bouzian d'exploiter son succes, concentrant ses efforts sur l'aures afin de le faire basculer dans le mouvement, ce qui fut le cas a partir du mois d'aout 1849. Si l'insurrection de bouzian se propage dans les aures, c'est egalement grace a l'intervention des principaux marabouts de la rahmaniyya. Cet ordre apporte a l'insurrection une certaine legitimite religieuse. Le ralliement de si abd al-hafidh, permet de mobiliser des milliers d'adeptes prets a participer a la lutte armee. Mais, sa defaite a seriana (17 septembre 1849) sape la dynamique qui suivit son engagement dans l'insurrection. Dans ce contexte, une nouvelle expedition militaire, commandee par le general herbillon, arrive a zaatcha, le 7 octobre 1849. Se refusant de se plier aux menaces des francais, les defenseurs s'opposent avec vigueur. Bientot, des combattants viennent au secours de zaatcha qui devient pour un temps, un centre symbolique de la lutte contre les francais. Quant aux francais, apres un long siege fatiguant au cours desquels ils subissent beaucoup de pertes, et apres l'echec d'un premier assaut, survenu le 20 octobre, ils s'emparent de zaatcha, le 26 novembre apres un assaut de vive force, et aneantissent completement le village et sa population. L'insurrection de zaatcha est matee, mais la resistance du village ne tombe pas dans l'oubli pour autant. Durant de nombreuses annees. Le souvenir reste vivace dans la memoire des habitants du zab.
