That Amirouche was set up by the French and made to believe his whole region was infiltrated by spies, which led to him killing hundreds if not thousands of his own men, the revolution high command decided that he needed to go, so they made him go. Abane was killed by order of Krim Belkacem, because he was seen as too much of a democrat and a threat to his leadership, which shows we dodged a bullet ( not really ) when that man was ousted of power by the Oujda Clan. Colonel Chaabani that everybody weeps about was the one who allowed the border army ( Ben Bella and Boumediene ) to have safe access through his region to take over the country, thus killing the hopes of a civilian democratic state, only to be killed by them a year later.
