The Militarized MCjihadists in Algeria used the exact same tactics used by the ones in Afghanistan, they used to throw acid on female college students, assassinate teachers, raid schools, bomb school busses, massacre villages, behead people, kidnap school girls and take them into the mountain for you know what. but their first major operation was bombing the Houari Boumedienne airport.
Looks like we watched Blowback Season 4 like before. So, it was bloody to that extent, huh
The main turning point of the situation is considered to be the military couping the elected FIS
How did the military end up fighting against them? Usually, it’s the stupid military coup men who come in and turn countries into reactionarism… such as Chile with Pinochet…
(I know military coups are a double-edged sword for revolution, but in the context of the post-USSR situation, it’s surprising)

I knew that you were here from Blowback from you saying “Algerian dirty war” lmao, so I made the paragraph around what the podcast already gave you.

The People’s army of Algeria is different than other armies in that it’s the successor of the national liberation army, it still had that name back then Khaled Nezzar (minister of defense) was a soldier during the independence war.
It was close to the Soviets, not only in weapons but also training, tactics, strategy, they knew who these were and they knew they were not good, the military even banned women from wearing the hijab in the army and the police force during that time.
the main interest of most organized militaries is being paid, the fascists in Chile were on the U.S. and western capitalists payroll so they followed what it told them, the FIS was destroying the economy by just existing so the Algerian military went against it.
coup d’etats don’t work even if they’re lead by a socialist because they aren’t proper revolutions, most of the time the people don’t even know what’s going on and are just seeing another guy come into charge, that’s why Egypt did a 180 turn when Nasser died, same thing with Iraq and general Qassim.
