	Middle East Report 214: Regimes of (Un)Truth: Conspiracy Theory and the Transnationalization of the Algerian Civil ...
		The 1988 student demonstrations in Algiers signaled the transition from the generation who fought in the war for independence (and for whom the FLN represented Algeria), to one that came of age in a post-war period of increasing economic and social insecurity.
		Given this assumed congruence, it is little wonder that young Algerians now hold the government--multiparty or not--as primarily responsible for the last eight years of bloodshed, regardless of the fact that the international media has attributed most of the violence to Islamist para-military groups.
		Alleging that the military government is "pulling the strings of the war" fosters the belief that the military remains the sole, true power base in Algeria, regardless of the religious and ethnic challenges levied against it.

	Algerian Civil War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Algerian Civil War was an armed conflict between the Algerian government and various Islamist rebel groups which began in 1991.
		The Gulf War further energized the party, as it outdid the government in gestures opposing Desert Storm.
		As in previous wars, the guerrillas were almost exclusively based in the mountains of northern Algeria, where the forest and scrub cover were well-suited to guerrilla warfare, and in certain areas of the cities; the very sparsely populated but oil-rich Sahara would remain mostly peaceful for almost the entire duration of the conflict.

	Algerian War of Independence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An important watershed in the War of Independence was the massacre of Pieds-Noirs civilians by the FLN near the town of Philippeville in August 1955.
		For Algerians of many political factions, the legacy of their War of Independence acted to legitimise and virtually sanctify the unrestricted use of force in achieving a goal deemed to be justified.
		At present, the history of the Algerian War continues to be frequently invoked in the ongoing political debate in Israel, with the prospect of further West Bank withdrawal and settlement evacuation high on the public agenda.

	H-Net Review: John Calvert on The Algerian Civil War, 1990-1998
		Rather than experience a flowering of civil society, Algeria slipped into a civil war of exceptional savagery and violence, which pitted a variety of armed Islamist groups, several of them spin-offs of the FIS, against the security forces of the state.

		Martinez traces the outbreak of the civil war to the policies of repression carried out by the military government against the FIS following the cancellation of the 1992 election.
