  • The Left and the Algerian Catastrophe
    THE LEFT AND THE ALGERIAN CATASTROPHE H UGH R OBERTS n explaining their sharply opposed positions following the attacks on the IWorld Trade Center and the Pentagon on 11 September 2001, two promi- nent writers on the American Left, Christopher Hitchens and Noam Chomsky, both found it convenient to refer to the Algerian case. Since, for Hitchens, the attacks had been the work of an Islamic fundamentalism that was a kind of fascism, he naturally saw the Algerian drama in similar terms: Civil society in Algeria is barely breathing after the fundamentalist assault …We let the Algerians fight the Islamic-fascist wave without saying a word or lending a hand.1 This comment was probably music to the ears of the Algerian government, which had moved promptly to get on board the US-led ‘coalition’ against terror, as Chomsky noted in articulating his very different view of things: Algeria, which is one of the most murderous states in the world, would love to have US support for its torture and massacres of people in Algeria.2 This reading of the current situation was later supplemented by an account of its genesis: The Algerian government is in office because it blocked the democratic election in which it would have lost to mainly Islamic-based groups. That set off the current fighting.3 The significance of these remarks is that they testify to the fact that the Western Left has not addressed the Algerian drama properly, so that Hitchens and Chomsky, neither of whom pretend to specialist knowledge of the country, have THE LEFT AND THE ALGERIAN CATASTROPHE 153 not had available to them a fund of reliable analysis on which they might draw.

  • Spoiling in Algeria and the Collapse of the FIS an Analysis of Algeria's Spoiler Problem 1994-1995
    Spoiling in Algeria and the Collapse of the FIS: An Analysis of Algeria’s Spoiler Problem, 1994-1995 The Algerian Civil War has cemented itself as a significant case study because of not only the longevity of its conflict (approximately ten years) or because of its violent and often brutal nature (over 150,000 casualties), but because of the significant spoiler problem that occurred within Algeria’s peacebuilding initiatives. These peacebuilding initiatives between 1994 and 1995 represented the most significant period of mutual dialogue between the Algerian regime and the Islamist rebel groups. There have been two common assumptions about the Algerian Civil War. The first is that the conflict is often defined by the Islamist challenge, meaning that the various armed Islamist actors have often been construed as “spoilers” to the peacebuilding measures. They are construed to value their radical ideologies over pragmatic considerations and utilize violence and terror as weapons. The other is that the Algerian Civil War consisted of primarily two sides, one the armed Islamist camp, and the other the government camp. Both of these assumptions are wrong. An analysis of Algeria’s civil war spoilers between 1994 and 1995 uncovers who spoiled these peace initiatives and why these spoilers emerged. This chapter functions as a targeted case study bound in both time and space, to focus not only on the Algerian Civil War (1991-2003), but also more specifically on the peacebuilding initiatives and spoiling behavior during the first two years of the reign of Algerian President Liamine Zéroual (1994-1995). The analysis of this conflict will use three peacebuilding initiatives as vessels to study Algeria’s spoilers.

This theme of isolation extends into Chapter 9, which focuses on the experience of homecoming and the war’s lingering effects on soldiers’ health and psychology, as well as the enduring feel- ings of guilt, shame, or resentment. Jauffret underscores the heterogeneity of memory as well as experience: the generation of the war, he argues, is ‘one of a multitude of solitudes’ (221).

    EXTERNAL (for general distribution) AI Index: MDE 28/20/93 Distr: UA/SC EXTRA 102/93 Death Penalty/Fear of execution 25 November 1993 ALGERIA Didier-Roger GUYAN (French national) Amnesty International is gravely concerned at the confirmation on 23 November 1993 by the Algerian Supreme Court of the death sentence passed on Didier-Roger Guyan. The organization fears that his execution may now be imminent. BACKGROUND INFORMATION Didier-Roger Guyan, a 44-year-old French national whose Algerian wife lives in France, was arrested on 12 June 1991 at a police roadblock as he was driving to Algiers. Firearms and explosives were allegedly found hidden in his car. At his trial Didier-Roger Guyan, a convert to Islam, reportedly stated that he had returned to Algeria in order to serve the cause of the Algerian Islamic state "which would arise from the [postponed then cancelled] elections of 27 June 1991". He was sentenced to death by the Tiaret Criminal Court on 30 December 1992 on charges of "plotting to propagate massacre and devastation" and illegal possession of firearms and explosives. Three co-defendants tried with him were sentenced to prison terms of five and eight years. At least 360 death sentences have been passed in Algeria since a state of emergency came into force in February 1992 (renewed for an indefinite period in February 1993). To date, 26 people have been executed in Algeria this year, the first executions since 1989. Amnesty International acknowledges the seriousness of the situation in Algeria and the right of the authorities to bring to justice those responsible for offences such as those Didier-Roger Guyan was convicted of.

  • Algerian Civil War 1989- 1999 Descend Into What Has Been Called a “Savage War”?
    Why did the Algerian civil war 1989- 1999 descend into what has been called a “savage war”? Explaining the nature of the Algerian civil war Cato Stensland Master thesis, (60sp,MØNA 4590) “Midtøsten og Nord- afrikastudier” Institutt for kulturstudier og orientalske språk UNIVERSITY OF OSLO Spring 2015 © Author Cato Stensland Year 2015 Why did the Algerian civil war 1989-1999 descend into what has been called a “savage war”? Author Cato Stensland http://www.duo.uio.no/ Print: Reprosentralen, Universitetet i Oslo II Abstract This paper tries to answer some perplexing questions surrounding the Algerian civil war of the 1990‟s. The country went through a civil war that descended into a bloody chaos that few can reconcile with. It is this “decent” that is explored in the paper. By relying on a set of categories and rules for these interactions set forth in the selectorate theory the negligence of the people at large by the government is sought to be explained. Particular actions like the massacres, assassinations, bombings, killings and sabotage are put into a context that however grisly it may be portrays a rationale making sense of the violence. It discusses the rationale behind the massacres that took place from 1995 and the inaction to prevent these. To find this rational it is necessary to start the paper with a political analysis that can identify the key players and to link the political happenings as an extension of politics to acts of war. Therefore the first part of the paper is primarily concerned with the reasons behind the conflict, aligning the different parties of it and describing their primary motives.
