Early life edit
Mohamed Kacimi was born in 1955 in El Hamel, French Algeria.[1][2][3] He was raised as a Muslim, and he attended both French and Islamic schools as Zawiyet El Hamel.[3] He emigrated to France in 1981, settling in Paris.[3]
Career edit
Kacimi is the author of several novels, plays and non-fiction books. His first novel, Le mouchoir, was turned down fourteen times before it was published by L'Harmattan in 1987.[3] His 2006 play, Terre sainte, received a good review from Le Figaro when it was performed in Avignon in 2013.[4] Meanwhile, Kacimi also worked as a translator and a ghostwriter.[3] He was also a contributor to Actuel, a French magazine, and he produced Les Chemins de la connaissance on France Culture.[5] In 2005, he was, with others authors such as Alain Decaux, Richard Millet and Jean-Pierre Thiollet, one of the Beirut Book Fair's guests in the Beirut International Exhibition & Leisure Center, commonly (BIEL).[6]
Kacimi is a critic of Al Jazeera.[7] In the wake of the Charlie Hebdo shooting of 7 January 2015, he wrote a Facebook post relating remarks voiced by teenagers from Val-de-Marne against Charlie Hebdo; however, he was unable to explain where he had heard them specifically, leading Marianne and other media outlets to wonder if he had made them up.[5]

Ces derniers jours, tous les esprits sont chauffés à blanc par Al-Jazira. Cette chaîne vit du commerce des cadavres. Elle a une passion pour les morgues, ses caméras ne sortent jamais des ambulances et des tombes.
