استراتيجية الثورة الجزائرية في مواجهة أزمة التسليح (1958-1962)‎

Abstract EN

The issue of arming is one of the most serious challenges faced by the liberation revolution since its inception.

One of the main concerns of its field commanders is that the continuation of military operations and the maintenance of the effectiveness of revolutionary activity remained dependent on the supply of weapons.

At the beginning of 1958, the situation of the armed revolution in the field of supply and logistics was complicated by the siege policy imposed on the eastern and western borders of Algeria, which constituted the vital crossing point for weapons, especially after completion of the barbed wire project that isolated the interior provinces from their bases.

In addition to the external blockade imposed by the colonial authorities on the logistic support networks in the supply of arms and ammunition from the countries supporting the Algerian revolution, had a significant negative impact on the effectiveness of the military operations, which have witnessed a decline.

In this activity.

Thus, the question of arming became the most complex and dangerous stage for the continuation of the revolution.

Which led the leadership to develop a strategy to take a number of measures to lift the embargo on the supply of arms, and to secure their passage to the units of the National Liberation Army inside.
