You can help expand this article with text translated from the corresponding article in French. Click [show] for important translation instructions.
Machine translation, like DeepL or Google Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.
You must provide copyright attribution in the edit summary accompanying your translation by providing an interlanguage link to the source of your translation. A model attribution edit summary is Content in this edit is translated from the existing French Wikipedia article at [[:fr:Crise de l'été 1962]]; see its history for attribution.
You may also add the template {{Translated|fr|Crise de l'été 1962}} to the talk page.
Unless the copyright status of the text of this page or section is clarified and determined to be compatible with Wikipedia's content license, the problematic text and revisions or the entire page may be deleted one week after the time of its listing (i.e. after 20:48, 1 October 2024 (UTC)). Until then, this page will be hidden from search engine results until the copyright issue is resolved.
What can I do to resolve the issue?
If you hold the copyright to this text, you can license it in a manner that allows its use on Wikipedia.
To confirm your permission, you can either display a notice to this effect at the site of original publication or send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org or a postal letter to the Wikimedia Foundation. These messages must explicitly permit use under CC BY-SA and the GFDL. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Note that articles on Wikipedia must be written from a neutral point of view and must be verifiable in published third-party sources; consider whether, copyright issues aside, your text is appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Otherwise, you may rewrite this page without copyright-infringing material. Your rewrite should be placed on this page, where it will be available for an administrator or clerk to review it at the end of the listing period. Follow this link to create the temporary subpage. Please mention the rewrite upon completion on this article's discussion page.
Simply modifying copyrighted text is not sufficient to avoid copyright infringement—if the original copyright violation cannot be cleanly removed or the article reverted to a prior version, it is best to write the article from scratch. (See Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing.)
For license compliance, any content used from the original article must be properly attributed; if you use content from the original, please leave a note at the top of your rewrite saying as much. You may duplicate non-infringing text that you had contributed yourself.
It is always a good idea, if rewriting, to identify the point where the copyrighted content was imported to Wikipedia and to check to make sure that the contributor did not add content imported from other sources. When closing investigations, clerks and administrators may find other copyright problems than the one identified. If this material is in the proposed rewrite and cannot be easily removed, the rewrite may not be usable.

The crisis began after disagreements over the Tripoli Program, a document which analysed Algeria's colonial heritage and the situation facing it after independence. The controversy in the program was the section which attacked the GPRA for its mismanagement of the FLN during the Algerian war. No agreement was reached on the composition of the Political Bureau, but Ahmed Ben Bella proposed a list of seven of his supporters and included none of the prominent GPRA members, which never came to vote. The two rival groups formed after the GPRA tried to break up the coalition of its opponents by dismissing three top officers of the National Liberation Army including Houari Boumédiène. This created an alliance between the General Staff and Ben Bella who denounced the GPRA decision. Ferhat Abbas also joined the Oujda group after he was ousted as president of the GPRA by Benkhedda.[1]
On July 11, Ahmed Ben Bella entered Algeria from Morocco and took control over western Algeria. He set up his headquarters at Tlemcen and gave a speech at Oran, and after this the Oujda group was known as the Tlemcen group. Benyoucef Benkhedda also entered Algeria and set up his headquarters at Tizi Ouzou, stronghold of Algeria's Berber minority, and his group was known as the Tizi Ouzou group.[1] Ben Bella announced the constitution of the Political Bureau on July 22.[2]
Some observers believed that the ideological differences between the Tlemcen group and Tizi Ouzou group were that the Tlemcen group wanted a radical socialist state or military dictatorship while the Tizi Ouzou group wanted Western democracy and close cooperation with France. Some observers even believed that it was a conflict between Arabs and Berbers because the Tlemcen group was entirely Arab whilst the Tizi Ouzou group had large numbers of Kabyles.[3] Ideological differences were denied by the National Liberation Front on July 13.[1]
Fighting broke out near Constantine on July 25 between Si Larbi (supporter of the Tlemcen group) and Saout el-Arab (supporter of the Tizi Ouzou group), and on the same day the commander of Wilaya III (Kabylia) declared that he would not recognize the authority of the Political Bureau. This resulted in 25 dead and 30 wounded.[2] The commanders of Wilaya V (Oran), Wilaya I (Aurès) and Wilaya VI (Sahara) gave their support to the Tlemcen group because of their close contact with the Oujda group's frontier army during the Algerian war, however Wilaya II (Constantinois), Wilaya III (Kabylia) and Wilaya IV (Algiers) sided with the Tizi Ouzou group. The Wilaya leaders met in Tripoli to work out a common position but failed.[1]
Boumédiène slowly advanced from Tunisia and Morocco towards Algiers, and on July 28 Benkhedda announced that the GPRA agreed to accept the composition of the Political Bureau proposed at the Tripoli Conference.[1] On September 4, Ben Bella appeared in Algiers and declared that the crisis ended. Boumédiène advanced towards the capital of Wilaya IV at the cost of killing hundreds of members of the National Liberation Army and entered Algiers on September 9. This assured the victory of the Political Bureau (Tlemcen group).[1] In the Constituent Assembly election on 28 September, Ben Bella's cabinet was approved by 99.6% of the voters.[4]Ferhat Abbas was elected president of the Assembly with Ahmed ben Bella as prime minister. Ben Bella's new regime still did not have complete control over Algeria because Kabylia was still controlled by Wilaya forces and Si Larbi still did not surrender his lands in Constantine region.[1]
