Best Answer

The political conflict began in December 1991 when the Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) gained popularity with the people. Due to fear that the FIS would win the current election, the National Libertarian Front (FLN) party cancelled elections after the first round, and the military took control of the government. As a result, the conflict escalated.
