The Algerian Civil War began in December 1991, when the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) party gained popularity amongst the Algerian people and the National Liberation Front (FLN) party, fearing the former's victory, cancelled the elections after the first round. At this time the country's military, Algerian People’s National Army (APNA), effectively took control of the government, and president Chadli Bendjedid was forced from office.
