 Combattants de la Libération

Les Combattants de la Libération (CDL), also known as "Le Maquis Rouge", were a guerrilla group established by the
Algerian Communist Party (PCA) after the outbreak of the Algerian War of Independence.The FLN did not welcome a rival on the scene and its mistrust was heightened by memories of the participation of the Algerian Communist Party in the repression after the Setif riot in 1945.
