Algeria lacked the established governing structures that Tunisia and Morocco enjoyed

Evidence

Whereas, in the 1950s, Tunisia and Morocco were endowed with established systems of government and administration, when Algerian independence came her government had existed only in exile. Thus she was afflicted by a lack of cadres and a lack of experience; but, worst of all, the many latent rifts within the leadership now burst through the thin papering with which the exigencies of war had covered them heretofore. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1628
