Revolutionary activities in Algeria information


After Algeria defeated France in 1962 and achieved independence, the country became an important hub for revolutionary activities in the Third World.[1]

Already in the course of the Algerian War for independence between 1954 and 1962, the country had gained many international sympathizers: On the one hand, because the National Liberation Front (FLN) had succeeded in freeing itself from France by force of arms. On the other hand, also because the FLN leaders already played a leading role in international affairs (especially in the African context) before independence and established good relations with already independent countries.[2] After gaining independence in July 1962, the government of the People's Democratic Republic of Algeria (RADP) continued to take international initiatives to implement the so-called Third World Project. Thus, the FLN not only played an important role in the creation of the Organization of African Unity (OAU) in April 1963, but also in maintaining global coalitions such as the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM).[3] Algeria and its international politics finally attracted foreign revolutionaries from all over the world and offered them not only hospitality but also military or material support. This went so far that even the most prominent movements such as the Black Panther Party settled in Algiers.[4]
