2. Barricades Week

3. Guerilla Warfare By 1957, FLN evolved into a disciplined fighting force of 40,000 Used assortment of hunting rifles and discarded French, German, and American weapons FLN attacks were aimed at military targets, but also invested in a terror campaign against pro-French & non-Muslim civilians Resulted in acts of torture and brutal violence against all, including women and children. Specialized in ambushes and night raids and avoiding direct contact with superior French firepower, the internal forces targeted army patrols, military encampments, police posts, and colonial farms, mines, and factories, as well as transportation and communications facilities. Kidnapping was commonplace, as were the ritual murder and mutilation of civilians. French launched a counter-terror campaign More than half of FLN troops were organized and stationed in Moroccan and Tunisian sanctuaries

4. International Support Why was it vital for the FLN to receive international support? How did the media play a role in this? To increase international and domestic French attention to their struggle, the FLN decided to bring the conflict to the cities The Battle of Algiers (September 30, 1956) began when three women, simultaneously placed bombs at three sites French Army was instructed to use whatever methods necessary to restore order The publicity given to the brutal methods created doubt in France about its role in Algeria. What was originally "pacification" or a "public order operation" had turned into a colonial war accompanied by torture. FLN achieved their goal! They received media attention for their cause and international aide. French Soldier killing fleeing Algerian while journalists were present
