The Algerian Civil War was an armed conflict between the Algerian government and various Islamist rebel groups which began in 1991.
The talks split the political spectrum; the largest political parties, especially the socialist FLN and Kabyle socialist FFS, continued to call for compromise, while other forces—most notably the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA), but including smaller leftist and feminist groups such as the ultra-secularist RCD—sided with the "eradicators".
The government's political moves were combined with a substantial increase in the pro-government militias' profile.
