National Liberation Front
The National Liberation Front (FLN) was the Algerian nationalist armed movement that fought the 1954-1962 independence war against France, backed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, and became the country's dominant political party after independence.
The National Liberation Front (FLN) was a nationalist political party and armed liberation movement in Algeria. By 1955, the French government was facing an insurrection from the FLN, which was strongly supported by Gamal Abdel Nasser. The bloody war for independence, which resulted in 250,000 deaths, came close to destroying France over five years and inspired Arab revolutionaries throughout the Middle East.1
