His mother, Ghezlaoui Mansouriah, was working in a hammam in Morocco.
He lived and studied in Morocco until he joined the ALN, he could not finish his last year in high school and get a matric because of that.
The official biography omits the fact that he was born and lived in Morocco, most likely for political reasons.[1]
War of Independence
Having completed high school in 1956, Bouteflika joined the FLN that year at age 19.
He started as a 'controller' (checking the situation and making reports on what's happening in the Moroccan border and in west Algeria) and finished as the administrative secretary of Houari Boumédiène. Many leaders of the Algerian War of Independence say that some of his reports caused the assassination of several heroes of the war, such as that of Boucif.
In 1960, Houari Boumédiène nominated him to a position in Tunisia but Bouteflika was unreachable, no one knew where he was, when he showed up after a little travel in Europe with some of his friends, disciplinary actions were going to be taken against him but Houari Boumédiène decided otherwise : he nominated him to another function in Mali to open a new front. some observers see this affectation as punishment since there was nothing to "open" from a sahelian country according to the same observers.
After some weeks spent in Mali, Bouteflika disappeared again, he showed up after several months spent in Morocco with a woman. Once again he was forgiven by Houari Boumédiène.
Between 1961 and 1962 he participated in the bloodless coup which overthrew Ahmed Ben Bella's provisional Algerian government (GPRA).
