Political Conflict, Islamism, Military Rule
From Algeria Page (An excellent Australian site)
Following bloody rioting in October 1988 the single party state in Algeria initiated a democratisation programme. One of the first parties to be legalised was the the Front de Islamique Salut (the Islamic Salvation Front or FIS). In local elections in June 1990 and then in the first round of parliamentary elections in December 1991 the FIS won the majority of seats. The army stepped in and cancelled the election process and banned the FIS.

 Algerian army and security forces,
often in very close proximity, stood by and did nothing to stop the massacres or to arrest the perpetrators. 
Since the beginning of the conflict hundreds of children and babies have been killed, victims of both targeted and random attacks. In the recent massacres children, as well as other vulnerable civilians, have been slaughtered, decapitated, mutilated, or burned alive in their homes. While these children were being massacred the army and security forces, often in very close proximity, stood by and did nothing to stop the massacres or to arrest the perpetrators..

Algerian forces kill 90 rebels Algeria, Local, Algerian troops have so far killed more than 90 rebels in a huge continuing operation, an Algerian newspaper said on July 21. Armed islamic Group (GIA) chief Antar Zouabri, 27, might be among the trapped men in a rugged area near Attatba in Blida province, about 50 km south of Algiers, L'authentique newspaper said. (ArabicNews.com Daily Story, July 22, 1997) Algerian militant leader Zouabri reportedly killed
A top militant in Algeria is reported killed
-- The head of Algeria's Armed Islamic Group (GIA), Antar Zouabri, known as one of the country's most ruthless militants, has been killed by security forces in an ambush, sources close to the security services said yesterday. ``He was killed Tuesday with other members of the armed group,'' one of the sources said, adding that he died in a tunnel in Attatba region, between Tipaza and Blida, south of Algiers. Zouabri, 27, is at least the eighth GIA chief to die since December 1992, when the group issued its first communique. One leader, Mansouri Meliani, was executed by firing squad in 1993. Algiers blames the GIA for massacring hundreds of people. Most had their throats cut, including babies, young girls and women. (Philadelphia Inquirer, REUTERS, Friday, July 25, 1997 ) ArabicNews.com Daily Story
Informed sources had said on July 27 that Antar Zouabri, head of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), was killed 48 hours earlier along with several of his lieutenants in army operation centered around Hattaba, west of Algiers. But a statement claiming to come from the GIA said Zouabri was still alive. "The allegations about the armed operations at Hattaba and the death of Zouabri are pure invention. He is alive," it said. Algerian rebel leader believed killed by troops
The Irish Times, Friday, July 25, 1997 Civil War In Algeria
The start of the Muslim fast of Ramadan has been utterly disfigured in Algeria by some of the most pitiless and ferocious incidents of terrorism and state retaliation to have been seen in the five years since the conflict started there. Alas, the fifth anniversary of the Algerian army's cancellation of elections which it expected the Islamic opposition to win holds out no prospects of an internal reconciliation between the Algerian state and its assailants. But the intensification of the conflict has raised once again the desirability of international involvement in bringing it to a negotiated settlement. If Algeria is not to become another Bosnia, Lebanon or Somalia on Europe's doorstep and if the neighbouring Maghreb and Arab states are not to be engulfed in a conflict that could easily spread beyond its borders it will be necessary to intensify the search for a basis on which such a settlement could be reached. There is no sign that President Lamine Zeroual is willing or able to make such a move towards the several opposition groups who would be ready for such an initiative. In his speech on Friday evening he promised intransigent continuation of the eradicationist policy towards the Islamic terrorist groups which led his government to boast in a lamentably premature and over-confident fashion at the end of last year that they had wiped out "all but remnants" of them. At the same time he has announced that a further round of elections will be held later this year. He has also said that Arabic will become Algeria's official language by July 1998, in an effort to distance himself from the country's French-speaking governing class. (Irish Times, Monday, January 27, 1997 )
Algerian forces prevent opposition rally on violence
The government also ordered independent newspapers on Saturday not to play into the hands of "terrorist propaganda". Algerian authorities have draconian powers over the press but independent papers have walked a tightrope in giving details of killings, uncleared by the authorities who until recently repeatedly said only "residual terrorism" remained. Algeria's main independent dailies all reported more killings in the conflict which broke out five years ago after the authorities cancelled a general election dominated by the Islamic Salvation Front. Le Matin said more than 250 people had been killed in the two weeks since the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan on January 10th. - (Reuter) (Irish Times, Monday, January 27, 1997 ) Algeria -- Fielding's DangerFinder
