>An Algerian civil war would create huge numbers of refugees. One analyst told me he expects 10 to 15 million Algerians will try to leave. Given Algeria’s history, they would expect to be rescued by one nation: France. In its impact on the EU, even a fraction of this number would dwarf the effect of the Syrian civil war. Given the political trauma that the refugee crisis has already caused in Europe, a massive Algerian exodus could cause tremendous insecurity. Obviously, no one knows how long Bouteflika has left. Nor do we know how rapidly civil war could develop. But were the crisis to begin before the French presidential election next April, and were Algerian refugees to start appearing on French soil — neither scenario by any means impossible — it is hard to imagine anything more likely to hand victory to Marine Le Pen and the Front National.

Stop calling them refugees like pozzed leftists. They're invaders.

Algerian here, just hoping that the military will kill all the Islamist before it comes to this. There's a reason why we have built up the strongest military in Africa.

How bad do you think it will get? What if you NATO declares the military as "terrorists" and the jihadists as "freedom fighters" like in Libya and Syria?
