A trader and former student of the Medersa of Algiers, Djebbour was the deputy of Algiers from 1958 to 1962, in the group Unity of the Republic (first legislature of the Fifth Republic), until the end of the mandates of the deputies of Algeria in July 1962, the date of the independence of the colony.
Djebbour was injured in Paris on July 26, 1958 during an attack by the FLN, standing next to Jean-Marie Le Pen. He later escaped several attacks. Djebbour always considered that the FLN was not the right party for Algeria. He protested against the curfew which targeted North Africans in October 1961, in solidarity with the workers and not with the FLN; he considered the curfew a discriminatory measure.
After independence, he created the National Front of French Islamic Repatriates, a national association, of which he was president until 1974. His daughter, Soraya Djebbour, is the first Muslim woman elected to the Ile-de-France regional council in 1986, with Front National.
