Mohamed is a native of the Khachna region, which is part of Lower Kabylia, which stretches from Oued Sebaou to Oued Mazafran.[5]

The surname Deriche was attributed to the Mohamed family by the fr during the establishment of the Indigenous civil state of Algeria at the time of the governor Louis Tirman.

Algerian War

Lyès Deriche, who housed in his villa in the Algerian commune of Clos-Salembier the meeting of the Group of 22 baptized Revolutionary Committee of Unity and Action (RCUA).[15] is related to him .

On 25 July 1954, in the modest villa belonging to Elias Deriche, twenty-two Algerians spoke for the unlimited revolution until total independence. They were all elders of the Special Organization who were summoned in the second half of June 1954.[16]

Many of them were from families where there were qaids and bachaghas who had studied in the schools of the Association Of Algerian Muslim scholars.[17][18]

Elias Deriche, a friend of Zoubir Bouadjadj, was a former militant of the Movement for the Triumph of Democratic Liberties who exploited the notoriety of his family to weave a clandestine revolutionary network in Lower Kabylia. He welcomed Mohamed Boudiaf who was the revolutionary leader of Algiers, and had prepared the meal for the participants in the historic meeting.[19]

About noon the owner of the house, Deriche, invited the presents to a couscous, and after a short pause they returned to work.[20]

Independent Algeria

The son of Mohamed Deriche, Dahmane Deriche, was appointed to represent the former commune of Souk El-Had in the special delegation responsible for the new commune of Ménerville after the proclamation of Algerian independence in 1962.

Dahman previously ran a farm in Souk El-Had and maintained an intimate relationship with the Algerian National Movement.[21]
