Later, under an old porch, having place the council of notables, headed by a lieutenant-colonel, surrounded by thirty officers. The notables were obtained Aman and treated with the Alma Djellouli, Governor Bey, that they had expelled. It was understood that having any discussions, they would would go to the four corners of the city, by two or three, claiming their co-religionists there was truce and that they could leave the cellars without danger to their lives.
must say that a similar view, read by interpreters, had no effect. The officers give each significant a guard of four men, and now our party people, shouting in Arabic and inviting their countrymen to sprout.
Immediately, ten and fifteen, the Arabs unearth. More than one young soldier remains amazed and think of the countless shots that could still leave the cellars.
All these people had spent four days without food or drink, which is not excessive for an Arab who is a holy war. But they do not throw less avidly on the cups of water that the soldiers brought them.
These soldiers are like that: after angrily shot during the struggle, they rush around the wounded out of their dens on the faith of treaties.
It is likely that General Logerot come in Sfax soon to realize the situation and decide on certain measures of occupation.
troops will occupy the line of city walls, will break down the guns, the insurgents were using, raze the walls, too high, and just wait for Sfax raise their houses, if they so pleased.
On compensation, he n'on be granted only if the take over the Arabs, so the contribution of war to be imposed will she probably considerable. With the money, or compensate for losses that bombing and other acts of war have been subjected to the Europeans.
(later, the city of Sfax, was imposed for ten million dollars or about six million francs!)
One foreign warship present at the taking of Sfax, the "Monarch", British frigate . The captain was right, apparently. At the invitation of his skilful government, he offered his first contest that was belligerent declined.
Later, the commander of the Monarch sent during the action of the wings, twelve barrels of fresh water to the French soldiers, doctors and paramedics with the white flag with red cross of the Geneva Convention. He congratulated him after the action, the French officers of his rank.
Within a few days the population. Muslim begins to return, she always a little wary, but it will pass. The Arab insurgents are still refugees in the gardens of Sfax, which are six leagues in extent. It would take an army to hunt them down, but it is likely that the terrible punishment that have been Sfaxiens pacify that country.
We can imagine no doubt that France Sfax is a small town, a fortified town, about lost Arab village on the southern coast of Tunisia.
Now you must know that Sfax was, after Tunis, the largest city in the whole Regency. Comparing with Tripoli to trade oil, alfa, ostrich feathers, fruit and wheat, just before Sfax Sousse, Monastir and before Mahdia before, these three export ports of Tunisia, also unknown to Parisians that 'they are frequented by traffickers Mediterranean, Greeks, Maltese, Algerians and others. Fifteen thousand
wealthy inhabitants lived in Sfax. After the act of war, they begin to return. The Colonel has never allowed back in town, but on the condition of being accompanied by their wives and their children: singles are carefully excluded, a review board chair at this yard and sits permanently in place.
Following the decision of Sfax, there was a small market on the outskirts of the city. It is sold to the troops and the squadron of grapes and poultry, is the beginning of relaxation. An order from the Colonel never prescribed the indictment yesterday, before the council of war, any soldier that would exempt a object homes now reopened.
Deputy Governor resumed his duties, pending Djellouli dares to take his. The old governor of the city is still refugees aboard the Alma, he returns to town tomorrow, when hundreds of families will be reinstated. Those who have already returned are given possession of their houses, or at least what remains: they are part of the "Meals on" with the troopers as they can do is generally not a fork or a cup. Everything has blown up or has melted in the fire.
the eve of the taking of Sfax, between midnight and one o'clock, there was a warning: one hundred horsemen of the plains is about came to attack the camels of a group of Sfax, encamped near the city and ready to go home at daybreak. These Arabs are likely to Gabes and need transportation, they have vigorously attacked the Sfaxiens that, all armed, defended themselves. Our guards were in turn attacked by horsemen that Sfaxiens had repulsed, and volleys well fed threw many shore.
discontinues These alerts do not nocturnal, they maintain the soldier's concern, because every night we hear gunfire around the city. French troops have built near the walls of the trenches Arab land and shoulders, in case of aggressive return of Ali Ben Khlifa, the great leader of the whole matter of Sfax, with Ali Sharif, the former commandant.
