FFS co-signs the 1995 Sant'Egidio (Rome) Platform

On 13 January 1995, amid Algeria's civil war, the FFS under Hocine Aït Ahmed joined the FLN, the banned Islamist FIS and others in signing the Sant'Egidio (Rome) Platform — an opposition pact calling for an end to violence, the release of FIS leaders and a negotiated democratic transition. The regime rejected it, but it marked the FFS's signature bid to broker a political, rather than military, exit from the conflict.
