He also collaborated with the newspaper Reporters. In 2014, L’Andalou was censored several times and received many threats from the pro-government and the islamists. However, he kept publishing his dissident work on social networks. He has three albums now: E=MCA, Welcome to Algeria, L’Opium et le Béton. In 2016, he received the honour award at the international Festival of comics in Algiers (FIBDA).
