The fracture between the legalists and the putchists. in August 1962.. Youcef Ben khedda, a prominent figure of the GPRA. The provisional government of the Algerian republic set up in Egypt in 1958.
Benyoussef Ben Khedda, an Algerian nationalist leader who announced his country's negotiated independence from France on July 3, 1962, but was quickly swept from power by the revolutionary forces he had helped unleash, died on Feb. 4 at his home in Algiers. He was 82.

Mr. Ben Khedda first attracted international attention in August 1961 when he seized control of the Algerian provisional government in Tunis , from Ferhat Abbas, an early independence movement leader.

His leadership was greeted with dismay in Paris, where his frequent trips to Communist China and behind the Iron Curtain had left him branded as a leftist. But Mr. Abbas, a 62-year-old, middle-class Francophile, had made three unsuccessful attempts to negotiate a settlement with France, and the more radical Mr. Ben Khedda was seen as a more effective leader.

Mr. Ben Khedda resumed secret negotiations with Paris in October 1961, and the next year he agreed to the Evian Accords, which provided for a referendum on Algeria's independence.

But Mr. Ben Khedda's triumph was short-lived. His own position as head of the centrist faction dominating the provisional government was weakened in March, when France released five more radical members whom it had captured, including Ahmed Ben Bella.

Doctrinal differences quickly emerged, with Mr. Ben Bella calling in May for a foreign policy based on neutrality and anticolonialism.

While most of the provisional government returned to Algiers at independence, Mr. Ben Bella went to Morocco, where he joined up with a former head of the Algerian revolutionary army, Col. Houari Boumediene, whom Mr. Ben Khedda had dismissed in an attempt to assert his authority over the armed forces.

The two entered Algeria and established a rival power center at Tlemcen, leaving Mr. Ben Khedda isolated in Algiers, protected only by the city's local forces.

- Chawki Mostefai, Hocine Asselah and Chadli El-Mekki

They finally opted for the current flag, which made its first appearance "official" 8 May 1945 in Setif.

The Scout Saal Bouzid was the flag bearer and the first martyr of this standard.

The flag will appear on several other occasions:
