Aït Ahmed founds the FFS and launches the Kabylie revolt

On 29 September 1963 independence hero Hocine Aït Ahmed proclaimed the Socialist Forces Front (FFS) in Tizi Ouzou to oppose Ahmed Ben Bella's one-party FLN state and demand pluralism and recognition for Kabylia. Within days Ben Bella sent the army into Kabylia; the ensuing 1963–64 revolt left more than 400 dead. The FFS endured as Algeria's oldest opposition party.
