Youcef Sahraoui (يوسف الصحراوي), born in 1939 in the Casbah of Algiers, this former employee of the RTF joined the maquis in the company of a group of Algerian technicians from the company. While they were on their way to Tunis at the request of M'hamed Yazid, Minister of Information of the Provisional Government (GPRA), they were victims of the so-called "Bleuïte" executions, the famous manipulation operation mounted by the French secret services during the Algerian War, which consisted of putting into circulation lists of alleged collaborators of the French army. Youcef Sahraoui is the only survivor of the group whose victims, Ali Djenaoui and his companions, are declared "disappeared in the maquis". Arrested and imprisoned, released thanks to independence, he then joined the RTA.
