Algerian Conflict

The Algerian Conflict also known as the War of Liberation by Algerian and Tunisian sources is an ongoing civil conflict in French North Africa between the Maghrebi Muslim Council (MMC) and the Republic of France. The war was caused by longstanding ethnic tensions between the French and the Arabs in the region and was sparked after leaders of the MMC were bombed during a meeting in Algiers, which was blamed on the French government. Some observers consider the Algerian Conflict to be a part of the second phase of the French Civil War as the MMC has Syndicalist leanings and is armed by the Commune of France.

The conflict is a guerrilla war with the MMC and their military arm the Front de Liberation Nationale (FLN) using terror attacks and hit and run tactics. The FLN controls very little territory outside of the countryside but it has denied the French government total control over any of the major cities.
