Algeria War Drains France as Battle For Independence Prolongs
As Algeria's war of independence enters year four, France sustains a 500000-man army at a cost of about three million dollars daily. Algerian FLN strength is roughly 35000 with 100000 partisans, aided by Tunisia and Morocco. Oil prospects near Ouargla sharpen the conflict. France fortifies a 150 mile electrified border fence though it is periodically breached by FLN units. The February raid on Sakiet Sidi Youssef killed 68, including 34 children, drawing worldwide condemnation and affecting U S and NATO interests in North Africa amid shifts in Western alignment.
