Biography. Ali Ammar was born on 14 May 1930 in Miliana, Algeria. He belonged to a poor family. The young Ali had a very difficult childhood during which poverty was prominent by the outbreak of the First World War, while the Algerians were already suffering the horrors of French colonization. The family's financial situation did not allow him to attend school and hence, he used to work in the fields of the settlers. Later, his family moved to Casbah. At a young age, Ali Ammar faced many hardships as he tried to help his family survive. He strongly disliked the colonial system in Algeria that oppressed his people. Ali rebelled against this injustice. When he was just thirteen, he got into trouble for standing up to a French policeman. After serving time in prison, he learned masonry in Algiers. He also enjoyed boxing at the Algiers Sports Club. However, his rebellious nature led to more prison sentences for various crimes, including theft, assault, and attempted homicide. In 1954, when the Algerian War broke out, he escaped from the Barberousse prison (Prison de Barberousse) where he was serving a two-year sentence for an attempted murder. Seeing his potential, FLN (National Liberation Front) militants explained to him that Algeria was a victim of colonialism and recruited him to their cause. After a trial conducted by Yacef Saadi to test his commitment (which he successfully passed) he was hired in the FLN. Within few months he became an important member of FLN. Ali first suggested the idea to FLN leaders of a hidden passageway that, in case of alert, would let fighters reach the terraces of the houses near hideouts quickly. This idea was used often.

When a person tries to infuence another person by showing attention or affection, this is called love bombing. It can be used in different ways, and it is possible to use love bombing either for positive or negative purposes. Psychologists say that love bombing may be part of a cycle of abuse. Love bombing has also been used in a group, to fight against a society, which is seen as hostile.

The abuser can stay in contact with the victim nearly all the tiime. A sign of love bombing can be that at the start of a relationship, there is a lot of attention during a short period of time; there also is a form of pressure for a very very rapid commitment. Another sign of love bombing is being intensely showered with affection, gifts, and promises for the future with the predator. The victim feels or is made to believe that all this is a sign of "love at first sight".

However, after the initial excitement, when the victim shows interest or care about anything beyond their new partner, the manipulator may show anger, passive-aggressive behavior, or accuse the victims of selfishness. If the victim does not comply to demands, the devaluation stage begins: the abuser withdraws all affection or positive reinforcement and instead punishes the victim with whatever they feel is appropriate—shouting, beratement, mind games, silent treatment, or even physical abuse. An article in "Cosmopolitan" explains: The expression has
