Battle of Algiers on Paris Metro

Singer, Daniel | November 6, 1995 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the social condition of Algeria. Algeria's undeclared civil war, with its 40,000 dead, is now well into its fourth year; it is certain that the country's November 16, 1995 presidential poll, which will be boycotted by the Islamists and the key opposition parties, will not bring it to a close. France was bound to be affected because of the links forged during 130 years of colonial rule, including the traumatic eight years of the war of national liberation; because it is Algeria's primary trading partner and therefore the chief backer of the ruling military junta; and last but not least, because of the large population of Algerian origin living here.
