As for the GIA when shit hit the fan it was swiftly infiltrated by the military to stage false flag terrorist attacks, target political opponents within the military and further demonize the Islamic party. The same military that got the green light from the ex-colonizer to stage the coup in the first place.

Then in 1999 after 250,000 people died and the FIS and Islamists’ images were totally destroyed, the government gave the “terrorists” amnesty and cash in exchange for peace. No jail, no criminal record, no legal. proceedings whatsoever. Almost like family.

Most people don’t care about democracy. Even the US who has waged countless wars in its name ironically has like a 55% avg voter turnout.
