channel4.com – Culture – Don't Panic National liberation movements often adopt violent tactics in situations where peaceful protest is seen to have failed. On some occasions, as in the case of the sabotage campaign organised by Nelson Mandela and the African National Congress (ANC), the adoption of terrorist tactics is agreed on by the whole of a national liberation movement. In these circumstances, national liberation movements frequently resort to terrorist violence, aiming to induce the occupiers to withdraw or grant greater autonomy. www.channel4.com /culture/microsites/D/dont_panic/whoare_nationallib_t.html   (306 words)

Algeria: Independence war (1954-1962) The National Liberation Front held the position of being the sole legal party in Algeria until the late 1980s, when the Algerian Constitution was finally amended to allow a multiparty system. A Committee for the Liberation of the Maghreb was created and later a National Committee of the Algerian Revolution. During the years of the liberation struggle diverse variations of the nationalist flag were used, but the majority were similar to the present national flag, notwithstanding that there are photos and reports of other flags. fotw.vexillum.com /flags/dz_ind.html   (916 words)

National Front and Capitalist Drive Toward Strong State The impunity of the National Front’s paramilitary apparatus is a function of its close ties to organs of state repression (notably the army, police, gendarmes, CRS and secret services), and the private “security” companies and professional mercenaries that are their offshoots. The answer of liberals and reformists to the National Front is to build class-collaborationist coalitions in the name of (bourgeois) “democracy.” Ultimately this leads them to vote for the arch-reactionary bourgeois “democrat” Chirac and to push for increasing the repressive powers of the “democratic” capitalist state. The National Front thugs have even occasionally attacked police with impunity, as on 21 October 1996, when several hundred FN demonstrators marched from a speech by FN leader Bruno Gollnisch to the Arc de Triomphe to stage a provocation. www.internationalist.org /nationalfront&strongstate0602.html   (4225 words)

Algerian Crisis : A Backgroud Ahmed Ben Bella, with the support of Colonel Houari Boumedienne, the National Liberation Army chief of staff, emerged as the winner and was elected the first president of Algeria in 1962. On 26 December 1991, Algerians went to the polls in the first parliamentary elections to be held in the country thirty years after independence. In a press conference held soon afterwards, the then Algerian Prime Minister Sid Ahmed Ghozali, said that the first round of the general elections had taken place "generally in an atmosphere of calm and reassurance." Independent sources confirmed that elections were free and clean. www.library.cornell.edu /colldev/mideast/algeria2.htm   (1351 words)

Papon "ordered secret Paris massacre of 1961" The Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN), which had orchestrated the attacks, responded by organising a protest march. In 1961, during the Algerian war of independence, Papon, then chief of police, imposed a curfew in the capital after the murder of 11 of his officers by nationalists. When the issue was raised in the National Assembly and the Senate, political pressure was brought to bear to ensure that no official inquiry was held. www.fantompowa.net /Flame/algerians_sunday_times.htm   (1092 words)

Guardian The second battle of Algiers On November 1 1954 the the FLN (the Algerian National Liberation Front) broadcast its proclamation calling for the "restoration of the Algerian state", coordinated with a series of armed attacks on French targets. Another crucial lesson of the Algerian war is the futility of using military force to try and crush a popular uprising for national liberation.

The Militant - June 11, 2001 -- Lessons of the Algerian Revolution The root causes of this national liberation struggle were the social consequences of the economic exploitation of Algeria. The government aided other national liberation struggles in Africa, for example, assisting in the opening of a headquarters in Algiers of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola in February 1963. Although this socialist perspective was frequently reaffirmed in the documents of the FLN, nearly half the seats on the National Committee and Political Bureau of the FLN were given to men opposed to the development of the nationalized sector of the economy, and opposed to the self-management committees. www.themilitant.com /2001/6523/652350.html   (4815 words)

Untitled Document As a National Liberation Front's delegate to many Pan-African conferences in Africa, as the Algerian revolution's delegate in black Africa, and as the Provisional Government's ambassador to Ghana, Fanon worked tirelessly to link the Algerian Revolution to the upcoming African revolution, and to forge political and solidarity links between Arab Africa and Black Africa. Since 1954 it has maintained the slogan of the national liberation of Algeria and the liberation of the African continent'.(17) It was in the context of these essays that Fanon write A Dying Colonialism to explain to African intellectuals and world public opinion the structural changes effected by the then on-going revolution in Algeria. The Algerian people, in the great struggle that they lead against colonial oppression, bring to light their own national consciousness so that an Algerian nation, based on mass participation, can no longer be deferred. pzadmin.pitzer.edu /masilela/general/essays/fanon2.htm   (5821 words)

Untitled Document Long considered iconic for anti-imperialist radicals of the 1960’s and ‘70’s, the film was written and co-produced by Saadi Yacef, an ex-leader of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN). The protesters represent the unified will of the Algerian people, and the lesson is that this outcome was inevitable. It accords with Pontecorvo’s Marxism that the film ends with this, a microcosm of the relationship between the guerrilla and the crowd: each time the policeman lunges for her, the girl skips back into the mass of people behind her. www.fluxfactory.org /otr/mitchellalgiers.htm   (1377 words)

The Daily Star - Opinion Articles - Algeria's forgotten 'mudjaheedats' On Nov. 1, 1954, 50 years ago, the Algerian National Liberation Front coordinated bomb attacks and assaults throughout Algeria; it was the start of the Algerian war of independence. By unveiling events that happened 50 years ago, Algerian feminists today aim to stress that women who were active participants in the independence and birth of their country refuse to be ignored. In 1984 Algerian women rebelled against a conservatism that resulted in a state of affairs where women who strayed outside the conservative norms dictating female dress and behavior risk anything from public censure to vigilante violence. www.dailystar.com.lb /article.asp?edition_id=10&categ_id=5&article_id=9776   (858 words)

Reader's Companion to Military History - - Algerian War Even France's "Anglo-Saxon" allies, concerned that the Algerian situation was pushing France to the brink of civil war, pressed Paris to end the conflict. Outgunned on the battlefield, the FLN won the political and diplomatic war hands down as Arab states recognized the Provisional Government of the Algerian Republic. The United Nations rejected Paris's contention that Algeria was an internal French problem and voted to debate the issue. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/mil/html/mh_001500_algerianwar.htm   (449 words)

Dissent Magazine - Winter 2002 But this is a definition that best fits the terrorism of a national liberation or revolutionary movement (the Irish Republican Army, the Algerian National Liberation Front [FLN], the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Basque Separatist Movement, and so on). This kind of Enemy is the special creation of nationalist and religious movements, which often aim not only at the defeat but at the removal or elimination of the “others.” Wartime propaganda commonly has the same effect, demonizing the other side, even when both sides expect the war to end with a negotiated peace. It isn’t a betrayal of liberal or American values to do that; it is in fact the right thing to do, because the first obligation of the state is to protect the lives of its citizens (that’s what states are for), and American lives are now visibly and certainly at risk. www.dissentmagazine.org /menutest/archives/2002/wi02/walzer.shtml   (3149 words)

BBC NEWS Europe Ex-minister sued over Algeria war Tens of thousands of them died in the brutal reprisals which followed at the hands of the victorious Algerian National Liberation Front. A lawsuit being filed in Paris on Tuesday alleges that, in a deliberately racist policy, white settlers were evacuated and pro-French Algerians were abandoned to their fate as the independence war drew to a close. Mr Messmer has said that Algerians who fought for France were offered the choice between integration into the French army or a small pay-off, and most took the latter. news.bbc.co.uk /2/low/europe/3239999.stm   (409 words)

Movie Gurus - The Movie Review Community “The Battle of Algiers” was filmed on location in Algeria a mere three years after the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) wrestled control of the country from France and the entaglements of 130 years of colonial occupation. The story, loosely based on the recollections of Algerian revolutionary Saadi Yacef, documents the organization of an urban Guerilla army from the inside. The FLN arranged for Pontevorco to have unprecedented access to locations in or near where the events depicted actually occurred, and was provided large crowds of extras. www.movie-gurus.com /content/reviews/t/1551   (664 words)

The Algerian war was a terrible period of history and this film relates just part of that conflict, centred on the town of Algiers, to coldly inform us, not to shock, not to entertain. The film was commissioned by the Algerian government a short while after Algeria was granted its independence in 1962, and it was directed by a renowned Italian film director, Gillo Pontecorvo, with an Italian production company. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_La_bataille_d_Alger_rev.html   (499 words)

The return of an anti-imperialist classic The film is based on the prison notebooks of Saadi Yacef, who was a leader of the Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN), an underground resistance group that fought a fierce guerrilla war against the French from 1954-57. The incredible power of the film is that while it doesn’t whitewash the violence of national liberation struggles, it stands firmly and confidently on the side of the oppressed. But ultimately even this repression is useless--as the end of the film shows mass protest of Algerians confronting tanks and tear gas to win their independence. www.socialistworker.org /2004-1/487/487_09_BattleOfAlgiers.shtml   (335 words)

After the unveiling, some centre and right-wing deputies walked out of the National Assembly in protest, after the war veterans minister replied to a question by saying the curfew was applied on the basis of physical appearance. news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/world/monitoring/media_reports/1604970.stm   (611 words)
