	Freedom Road Socialist Organization \| Unity Statement
		This united front consists of all forces aligned against imperialism with the strategic alliance of the multi-national working class and oppressed nationality movements at its core and the proletariat in the lead.
		A socialist revolution will require the unity of the working class with the revolutionary movements of oppressed nationalities, and this united front will be the primary social force to lead the charge and usher in socialism.
		Countries that have had socialist revolutions have seen huge gains for women in terms of political representation and participation, as well as increased rights such as easier access to jobs outside of the home, easier access to divorce, and increased reproductive freedom.

	16. The PPP proposal for a National Patriotic Front
		By trying to force the Party to retract the editorial, the PNC was hoping to pressure the PPP not to oppose the cuts in subsidies in the forthcoming 1977 budget.
		It stated that the proposed National Patriotic Front and National Patriotic Front Government must include all parties and groups which are progressive, anti imperialist and wish to see Guyana take a socialist oriented or non capitalist path of development.
		Therefore, the PNC's rejection of the National Front proposal was a clear indication it was not interested in national unity and democracy aimed at alleviating the economic pressures on the people.

	Algeria POLITICAL PARTIES
		On a program favoring "the return of the Algerian people to national sovereignty," the MTLD won 5 of the 15 elected seats in the National Assembly elections of 1 November 1946; in 1948, however, the MTLD lost all its seats and was reduced to semi-illegality.
		In 1951, an Algerian Front was formed by the MTLD, the UDMA, the Algerian Communist Party, and the Society of 'Ulema, a political-cultural organization.
		The chief organs of the FLN are the Central Committee, the highest policy-making body of both the FLN and the nation, the Political Bureau and the Secretariat.

	Socialist Forces Front : To boycott Senate by-election
		Socialist Forces Front’s National Secretariat has decided to boycott next Senate by-election, M. Boufra, member of the party’s National Bureau in charge of trade unions said.
		The partaking of Socialist Forces Front in the by-election would give credit for the voting whereas the citizen and the party would gain nothing in return.
		He adds that Socialist Forces Front is convinced its activists would respect the decision; it nevertheless would seriously punish those who do not respect it.

	The Militant - June 18, 2001 -- 300,000 in Algeria protest government repression
		The march in the capital of Algiers of some 300,000 people, many of them farmers and women from the region, was called by the Socialist Forces Front, the larger of the two main opposition parties in Algeria.
		In addition to bourgeois opposition forces striving to capitalize on the widespread outrage over the recent police killings and deteriorating economic conditions, several imperialist governments have voiced "concern" over the repressive actions of the government.
		This partly stems from the fact that despite the overthrow of the workers and farmers government in 1965 the FLN avoided outright subservience to imperialism and charted a foreign policy course that aligned the country with a number of anti-imperialist struggles.

	HISTORICAL FIGURES: Hocine Ait-Ahmed
		He is included among the nine "historic leaders" of the Algerian nationalists who in 1954 founded the FLN and began the eight-year war of independence against France.
		His main organizations in the 1970's and 80's were the Party of Socialist Revolution and the Front de libération nationale (FFS) (Front of Socialist Forces).
		Ait-Ahmed and the FFS opposed the growing Islamist agitation of the Front islamique du salut (FIS) (Islamic Salvation Front), in agreement with the regime and the FLN on this particular issue.

	Algerian Crisis : A Backgroud (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		The socialist government's repressive secularism and one party rule fed a fundamentalist backlash which gave rise to widespread rioting in 1985.
		After decades of socialist incompetence and social and religious repression, the vast majority of Algerians embraced FIS doctrines and led the party to a stunning first round victory over the FLN in the December 1991 general elections.
		With the prospect of the FIS in control of the parliament after the second round of elections, the secular and military elite forced Benjedid's resignation, halted the electoral process and suspended parliament.

	The Militant - May 21, 2001 -- Berbers in Algeria demand justice, jobs
		The rally was called in response to the killing of some 80 young people by the police over the course of a week of protests in Kabylia, located in the northeast of the country.
		The massive response to the police repression forced the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), a smaller Berber-based party, to withdraw its two ministers from the coalition government of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika.
		This conflict began when Paris, the country's former colonial ruler, collaborated with the regime in Algiers to annul the national elections won by the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS), a bourgeois opposition party that promised to be less subservient to the French imperialists.

	INSURRECTION IN ALGERIA
		By the end of the first week of May, the insurgent movement began to organize itself in village and neighborhood assemblies (the aarch) that coordinate their activities through a system of apparently mandated and revocable delegates who would be bound to a very interesting “code of honor” a few months later.
		On March 25, security forces attacked a theater in Tizi Ouzou that was being used as the office of the citizen coordination and 21 delegates were arrested.
		By August, violent conflicts and an ultimatum issued by the movement forced Bouteflika to pardon all the arrested delegates of the aarch.

		As part of the building of the new party there should be an open debate of ideas for the socialist project in which everybody should "read a lot, study a lot, discuss a lot", organise meetings of the "socialist squads, socialist platoons and read".
		This mood is expressed in many different ways, the demonstration in Mérida "for Chávez and for socialism, against the bureaucracy", organised by the Front of Socialist Forces (http://venezuela.elmilitante.org/index.asp?id=muestraandid_art=2734), the demonstration of the Ezequiel Zamora National Peasant Front for Chávez and agrarian revolution (http://www.marxist.com/ezequiel-zamora-march231106.htm), etc.
		With its limited forces it tried to coordinate the activities of workers in different factories, occupied, expropriated or in struggle, and won a leading position in the Sanitarios Maracay struggle.

		The Front for Socialist Forces said its members in the area put the death toll in the massacre at 151, and the Movement for a Peaceful Society, a moderate Islamic party, said it learned the death toll was 150.
		The massacre was the deadliest since an Aug. 29 rampage in the village of Rais, south of Algiers, where attackers killed up to 300 people.
		Security forces, on orders to "eradicate" the insurgents, killed 48 Muslim militants near Chrea, the mountainous region outside Blida, and 20 others in the Djerba region, also south of Algiers, the newspapers reported.

		The two main Berber opposition parties, the Front of Socialist Forces (FFS) and the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD), along with a number of prominent opposition leaders, called for an election boycott.
		A nascent democratization process, marked by the dramatic success of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in fair elections in 1990 and 1991, was halted by a 1992 coup.
		The near-silence of US officials concerning the parliamentary elections, like the silence when Tunisia’s May 26th constitutional referendum was supposedly approved by 99.5% of voters, sends a clear message about American lack of resolve concerning political reform in authoritarian Arab regimes that are partners in the war against terrorism.

		One of the places where the anger of the rank and file of the revolution has acquired an organised expression is the Andean state of Mérida, with the formation of the Front of Socialist Forces.
		Briceño, a spokesperson for the Front, explained "our unwavering support for our president Hugo Chávez," but added that "we are sick and tired of false leaders who take their positions and forget about their responsibility towards the people, while they have lucrative appointments which allow them to buy expensive cars".

	HRW World Report 1999: Algeria: Human Rights Developments
		The Islamic Salvation Front (Front Islamique du Salut, FIS), the now-outlawed political movement that was on the verge of winning the 1992 parliamentary elections before they were halted, condemned the massacres of civilians through its spokespersons in exile.
		Survivors from Relizane—one of whom had been forced to guide the attackers before escaping into a ravine—told Algerian interviewers that the attackers were strangers to the area, most of whom did not speak the local dialect, and included some men wearing military uniforms.
		There continued to be reports of reprisal killings and extrajudicial executions committed by the security forces and the thousands of armed civilian “self-defense” groups that operated mostly in rural areas, ostensibly under military and police supervision.

	Commentary No. 65
		The Front of Socialist Forces (FFS) has also been daubed with the brush of Hizbal Franca and, like the Berbers, is threatened with marginalization in an Islamic state.
		As both sides in the civil war soon discovered, the use of naked force by one sector of society against another was not going to win the war.
		Rather it was a continuum of confrontation among clans and factions, a dreary brew of ideologists, socialists, Third Worldists and pan-Arab nationalists.

	Algeria - Ben Bella and the FLN
		A new constitution drawn up under close FLN supervision was approved by nationwide referendum in September, and Ben Bella was confirmed as the party's choice to lead the country for a five-year term.
		Under the new constitution, Ben Bella as president combined the functions of chief of state and head of government with that of supreme commander of the armed forces.

		The powerful Berber-based Front for Socialist Forces (FFS), which boycotted the elections, issued a statement on Saturday describing the boycott as a "defeat for the regime and those who offer lip-service on democracy".
		These events caused FLN's popularity to decline sharply as it was largely blamed for the state of corruption that weakened the economy and forced poverty and unemployment rates to rise.
		It was not until Ben Flis, a highly respected judge and human rights defender, was appointed secretary-general of the FLN in September 2001 that the party revived itself, winning the parliamentary and local elections in 2002.

	To Pull Algeria From the Brink
		Of the seven parties at the talks, three alone, the Islamic Salvation Front, the National Liberation Front and the Front for Socialist Forces, had polled 78 percent of the popular vote in the elections of December 1991, which were later suspended by the country's military rulers.
		The Islamic Salvation Front, or FIS, accepted the principle that political parties could alternate in power, the first time it has conceded this key principle.
		Another reason for hope comes from the presence in Rome of Abdelhamid Mehri, the secretary-general of the National Liberation Front who, two weeks ago, was able to meet the two paramount FIS leaders, Abassi Madani and Ali Benhadj, both of them under house arrest in Algiers.

		The strikes were repressed by the military with considerable force and a loss of life estimated in the hundreds.
		However, because Boumediene's socialist policies had been exacted at such a high cost to the economy, Benjedid's reforms came too late, in the opinion of many observers.
		Furthermore, the control of one party, the FLN, between 1962 and 1980 had led to an authoritarianism that was difficult to overcome and that had resulted in the rise of Islamists, particularly in the form of the FIS.

	Algeria Slides Into Civil War
		Ever since the electoral process was dramatically suspended by the army in January 1992, when the Islamic Front was poised for victory, its members and sympathizers have been driven underground, arrested by the thousands, tortured, shot or deported to the Saharan desert.
		Although the Islamic Front's share of the vote dropped to 47 percent, this was enough to win 188 seats outright and to guarantee a landslide victory in the second round.
		The huge demonstration sponsored by the Front of Socialist Forces in Algiers right after the vote, with its message of opposition to both the police state and the religious one, pointed toward a solution.
