Early life
Kafi was born in El Harrouch in 1928.
Career
Kafi was one of the major figures of the Algerian underground forces that fought for independence from France from 1954 to 1962. At that time he was promoted to the rank of colonel. Kafi was the Algerian ambassador to several countries, including Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Italy.
He served as the chairman of the High Council of State (a military-backed collective presidency) of Algeria from 2 July 1992 to 31 January 1994. He was selected as chairman after the assassination of Muhammad Boudiaf.
The Council of State was intended as a transitional government. In 1992, he promised a referendum that eventually never took place.
Death and burial
Kafi died at the age of 84 on 16 April 2013 in Geneva, Switzerland. His body was buried at El-Alia cemetery.
