    Introduction :: Algeria

    Background :

    After more than a century of rule by France, Algerians fought through much of the 1950s to achieveindependence in 1962. Algeria 's primary political party, the National Liberation Front (FLN), w as establishedin 1954 as part of the struggle for independence and has largely dominated politics since. The Governmentof Algeria in 1988 inst i tuted a mult i -par ty system in response to publ ic unrest , but the surpr is ing f i rs tround success of the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) in the December 1991 balloting led the Algerian army tointervene and postpone the second round of e lect ions to prevent what the secular e l i te feared would be anextremist-led government from assuming power. The army began a crackdown on the FIS that spurred FISsupporters to begin attacking government targets. Fighting escalated into an insurgency, which saw intenseviolence from 1992-98, resul t ing in over 100,000 deaths - many at t r ibuted to indiscr iminate massacres of villagers by extremists. The government gained the upper hand by the late-1990s, and FIS's armed wing,the Islamic Salvation Army, disbanded in January 2000. Abdelaziz BOUTEFLIKA, with the backing of themilitary, won the presidency in 1999 in an election widely viewed as fraudulent. He w as reelected to asecond term in 2004 and overwhelmingly won a third term in 2009, af ter the government amended theconstitution in 2008 to remove presidential term limits. Longstanding problems continue to faceBOUTEFLIKA, including large-scale unemployment, a shortage of housing, unreliable electrical and watersupplies, government inefficiencies and corruption, and the continuing activities of extremist militants. TheSalafist Group for Preaching and Combat (GSPC) in 2006 merged with al-Qa'ida to form al-Qa'ida in theLands of the Islamic Maghreb, which has launched an ongoing series of kidnappings and bombingstarget ing the Algerian Government and Western interests . The government in 2011 introduced somepolitical reforms in response to the Arab Spring, including lifting the 19-year-old state of emergencyrestrictions and increasing women's quotas for elected assemblies. Parliamentary elections in May 2012and municipal and provincial elections in November 2012 saw continued dominance by the FLN, withIslamist opposition parties performing poorly. Political protest activity in the country remained low in2013, but small , sometimes violent socioeconomic demonstrat ions by disparate groups cont inued to be acommon occurrence. Parliament in 2014 is expected to revise the constitution.
