Some thieves and criminals become Robin Hoods, do not hesitate to rush in order to help the poor weak people.
- The reader must question the purpose of writing about the « macho » and « strong-minded » as they are also called. It is in order to describe an everyday reality that « Ennahar » wanted to put in light this society phenomenon.
- They are fugitives from justice and victims of social circumstances before being seen as a source of fear and danger to society. Is it true what they say about them as crooks who should be underground rather than on land, they are considered as the evil itself and through which they pass the grass grow back?
- The "Rodjla" (macho) as they are called in Algiers, known as "El Goumania" east of Algeria, is a world apart. A world that has its own rules and laws. An earring, scars on hands, cigarette burns on arms, a particular approach, eyeing a look and a hoarse voice emitting strange words. And you're faced with an example of "Rodjla" a (macho).
- Who are they?
- They are young people who have chosen the wrong way causing harm to their persons and to their families, but they are also victims of an environment and conditions and social hardship.
- 'B. D." a pure « Rodjla » from Bourouba, tells us about this category of people: "there are good and bad like anywhere. There are some who have not chosen this path but for social reasons found themselves inside of this world. There are also those who play the "Mr. courage" but who ended up in this harsh world. Released early from school, they found themselves in the street and the street today is not as formerly".
- "Z. M.", merchant, mentions a "Rodjla" in his neighborhood who, like Robin hood, did not hesitate to move in different regions of the country to ease tensions in a tavern, or hunt a "Barbot", who tries to impose his law.
- Very specific projects
- In neighborhoods of Algiers, we asked young people of different ages on the "Rodjla" phenomenon. All of them say they know things and stories about the subject, they have stories to tell worthy of fictional characters.
- Among the stories we have been told, the most bizarre is that of a security member who was being protected by a "Rodjla" from another who threatened him.
- The Robin Hood who rush to rescue or defend the weak, restitute stolen goods and help the poor.
- Ennahar / Ibrahim Belmarkat
