Mohamed ben Zamoum (born in Boghni on 1795 and died also in Boghni on 1843) was a Kabyle marabout who participated to the Algerian resistance against the French conquest of Algeria. His grandson Ali ben Zamoum also played a major role in the Kabyle resistance against French troupes coloniales, since 1844 til 1848. Just after the surrender of Dey Hussein on 5 July 1830 and the capitulation of the Casbah of Algiers, Sheikh Mohamed ben Zamoum organized with the marabouts of Kabylia and Mitidja a meeting of the heads of the zawiyas in the Bordj Tamentfoust in date of 26 July. Allegiance to Ben Zamoum The tribes of Mitidja and Kabylia then signed a treaty of allegiance to Sheikh ben Zamoum dated 26 July 1830  where he was proclaimed leader of the popular resistance against the forces of the French Army. When on 18 November 1830, a second column of 7,000 French soldiers invaded the town of Blida, and they found it almost deserted because most of the population had fled to the mountain of Chréa on the injunction of Sheikh ben Zamoum.
