The French Algerian Front (FAF;French: Front Algérie Française) was a political and militant movement in favour of French Algeria, established in 1960 in Algiers. Its founder was Saïd Boualam.
On 11 November 1960, a demonstration called by the Front degenerated into violence. A few weeks later, the Front called for the visit of presidentCharles de Gaulle to be violently opposed and for the army to mutiny against the government's orders.
The FAF was established on 15 June 1960[1] following a meeting between former FNN and ex-UNR[2] held at 73 Alfred Street-Leluch in Algiers.[3] Yvan Santini announced the creation of the FAF at a press conference held the same day[2] or 17 June, according to sources.[4]
Violent Manifestations and Dissolutionedit
Riot of the FAF on 11 November 1960, in Algiers. 100 wounded, 70 arrests
On 11 November 1960, a demonstration at the call of the French Algerian Front resulted in a riot in Algiers.
On 8 December, the movement called for violent opposition to the visit of General de Gaulle and, to the army, to no longer support its policy in Algeria.
Following the riots in Algiers on 9 December, the French Algerian Front was banned by the French authorities on 15 December.[5][6]
Clandestine activityedit
On 7 March 1961, a leaflet claiming a series of attacks perpetrated in Algiers was signed jointly by the FAF and the France-Resurrection network,[7] an organization separate from the OAS.[8]
