FLN Congress

The FLN (Front de Libération Nationale) Congress was a major political meeting of Algeria's independence movement in the 1950s. It was held in 1958 to unify various factions fighting against French colonial rule. The Congress aimed to strengthen leadership, develop strategies for independence, and legitimize the FLN as the sole representative of Algerian aspirations. It marked a significant step in organizing resistance and establishing a cohesive political front, ultimately contributing to Algeria’s path toward independence in 1962. The Congress played a crucial role in shaping the national movement and Algeria's future sovereignty.
