My mother was in Algeria, at this time, with her family (They are french). It is a shame to see that after all those years nobody ever talked about the french people there at this time. It was awful for the french people there. Before the Independence, everything was fine. Algerians had jobs, food, infrastructures, water... My mother was a young girl at this time, with 2 brothers... When the war started, french civilians living in Algeria, were killed by the Algerians, and didn't get any kind of support from the french government. Actually there is been a massive killing of french people, and the french army received the order not to move to help them. Algerians people were walking down the streets with the head of french people on spikes. Other were catching french men, cutting their sex and sew it in the mouth. Then when finally my family received the order to go back to France, they left everything in Algeria, memories, house, clothes, money, youth, and were allowed to travel with a luggage. They arrived in Marseilles, people were spitting on them, and they had to build their life again. Algeria is the richest and biggest country in Africa, but still, Algerians keep on immigrating in France, because their country is one the poorest in Africa. There are no jobs, no money, no democracy. French cemetery have been desecrated. Algerians do not take advantages of their resources (Gas, Agriculture). And every year, the French Government gives Algeria, huge amounts of money, otherwise the situation is Algeria would be way worse. For people who were in Algeria during the war (like my grandpa who died couple of years ago), they died without having the satisfaction of knowing that somebody cared what happened to them, or listened to what they had to say.
