This faction gained power after 1988, especially during the Algerian Civil War. A major military reshuffle in 2000 further increased its influence (with the promotion of such Lamari protégés as Fodhil Cherif and Said Bey) at the expense of ALN fighters who had been trained in Arab countries, rather than in the French army (a faction notably including Liamine Zeroual and Tayeb Derradji.) Several of the main leaders of this faction have now retired, but remain influential. This faction is generally considered eradicationist (favouring no dialogue with Islamist guerrillas in the context of the Algerian Civil War).
