The party had two major leaders representing its two bases of its support; Abbassi Madani appealed to pious small businessmen, and Ali Belhadj appealed to the angry, often unemployed youth of Algeria.

Biography He was born in Constantine, Algeria. He was a leading member of the FLN. However, after serving as head of government of Algeria he became involved in serious disputes with other party leaders who he said were too close to the army. He ran unsuccessfully as an independent in the 1999 presidential elections. As prime minister in early 1991, he attempted to limit the power of the military and security forces and was for that reason forced from power in June. A decade after the military dictatorship had denied the FIS its electoral victory, Hamrouche sympathetically described the events of 1991 as a period with its excesses necessary for a people who had just been "liberated" after "being prevented from speaking for 30 years."

PP. 10-16. The riots were "the most serious" since Algeria's independence", and involved thousands of youth who "took control of the streets".

The riots indirectly led to the fall of the country's one-party system ( Front de Libération Nationale (FLN) party had been in power since 1962) and the introduction of democratic reform, but also to a spiral of instability and increasingly vicious political conflict, ultimately fostering the Algerian Civil War. There are two dominant narratives surrounding the reasons for the October 1988 riots: ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
