The French Algerian Front (FAF; French: Front Algérie Française) was a political and militant movement in favour of Algeria remaining an integral part and colony of France, established in 1960 in Algiers. Its founder was Saïd Boualam.
On 11 November 1960, a demonstration called by the Front degenerated into violence. A few weeks later, the Front called for the visit of president Charles de Gaulle to be violently opposed and for the army to mutiny against the government's orders.
