Due to its close proximity to the Algerian border and its historical role in the Algerian War of Independence, Kef has a significant Algerian population. Over 6,000 registered Algerian voters reside in Kef, making it the second biggest Algerian community in Tunisia after Tunis.[2] Its capital city, El Kef, was the command centre of the Front de Libération Nationale during the Algerian War of Independence against the French in the 1950s.
