00:00:03,792 --> 00:00:07,701
Algeria broods under ominous clouds of tension after a ceasefire
2
00:00:07,701 --> 00:00:11,106
between France and Muslim rebels brings momentary peace.
3
00:00:11,106 --> 00:00:14,348
The day the truce was announced after months of negotiations,
4
00:00:14,348 --> 00:00:18,858
Algiers and Oran were quiet, but quiet only because of a
5
00:00:18,858 --> 00:00:21,754
general strike, called by leaders of the Secret Army.
6
00:00:21,754 --> 00:00:25,845
These rightists, who want Algeria to remain French, have
7
00:00:25,845 --> 00:00:29,026
vowed to fight to the bitter end to accomplish their aims.
8
00:00:29,026 --> 00:00:31,989
Two days after France signed her pact with the rebels,
9
00:00:31,989 --> 00:00:35,751
the Secret Army renewed terror bombings, killing 32 civilians
10
00:00:35,751 --> 00:00:39,652
and police in two days. The key to orderly peace lies with
11
00:00:39,652 --> 00:00:42,740
the French army. Observers note that if they remain loyal
12
00:00:42,740 --> 00:00:45,300
to President de Gaulle and control the Secret Army,
13
00:00:45,300 --> 00:00:49,970
true peace may come about in this strife-torn African nation.
