Abstract / Summary: Since the summer we have seen the horrific slaughter of innocent civilians, reputedly by armed Islamist groups, and there are growing rumours of a coup. The central conflict between the authorities and the Islamists has given way to fierce divisions within the forces on either side. As the FIS has distanced itself from the Islamist extremists of the GIA and the security forces have reinforced their activities, the remaining militants have resorted to knives, and confusion grows.
