algérianiser

Algérianiser means to make something Algerian, or to transfer control of something to Algerians — most notably as the historical policy verb behind algérianisation, the real post-1962 government program of replacing French colonial administrators and civil servants with Algerian nationals after independence.

• Le nouveau gouvernement a cherché à algérianiser rapidement l'administration. — The new government sought to quickly Algerianize the administration.
• Cette entreprise a été algérianisée après l'indépendance. — This company was Algerianized after independence.
• Le processus visait à algérianiser les postes autrefois réservés aux Français. — The process aimed to place Algerians in positions once reserved for the French.

Learners should know this verb is historically loaded, not a neutral geography word like 'Algerian-ize a recipe' — it refers specifically to the real, documented post-independence policy of replacing French personnel with Algerian nationals in the civil service and economy.

• politics Algérianisation de la fonction publique — The real post-1962 Algerian government policy of progressively replacing French colonial administrators with Algerian nationals — for example, ordonnance n°73-29 of 5 July 1973 mandated progressive algérianisation of certain posts before 1974, documented in historical and legal sources on Algeria's independence-era administration.
