| Description: | Image quality is not very good. Algeria Crisis: Insurgents Hold Fast, Await De Gaulle's Move "Algiers remains in a state of siege with thousands of insurgents behind street barricades in the heart of the city and army forces passive - their ultimate loyalty in doubt. Charles de Gaulle secures his position by arresting rightists in France itself, while both sides, and the world, await the next move in this major test of the Fifth Republic's authority." Men build barricade; looks like they're pulling bricks from the road to build it! Nighttime demonstration, people (mostly men) cheering or chanting. Soldiers climb onto truck. Soldiers walk through street. | |
