Algerian Civil War: The Silent Conflict That Cost 200,000 Lives

The Algerian Civil War began in 1991 after a military coup canceled elections, triggering a violent Islamist insurgency.

Under leaders like Liamine Zéroual, the country descended into a decade-long conflict marked by widespread violence and instability.

The human cost was devastating.
Estimates suggest 150,000 to 200,000 deaths, based on human rights reports.

The economic damage was also significant.
Losses are estimated at $20 to $30 billion, reflecting disrupted industries, infrastructure damage, and long-term economic decline.

Despite receiving less global attention, the conflict left deep scars on Algeria’s society and economy.

Why it matters:
This war shows how political instability and governance breakdown can lead to prolonged violence and economic loss.

Algeria… can stability fully return after such a conflict?
