If Abd-el-Kader is destroyed, it will only be with the help of some of the tribes that are now subjected to him; his alliance must be dissolved rather than shattered.... Although he has created a force independent of the tribes, he has not destroyed the individual and collective force of those tribes. Several of them are actual nations, who in detaching themselves from him would immediately cause his downfall. The longer Abd-el-Kader's power lasts, the more improbable this event will become.

— Alexis de Tocqueville
