Army chief-of-staff post shifted real F.L.N. power to Boumedienne’s hardliners

Evidence

It would soon be plain that this was where the real focus of power in the F.L.N. now lay; at the same time, the Third C.N.R.A. marked the beginning of the eclipse both of Abbas and the “moderates”, and of Krim himself. Between Boumedienne and Krim — resentful and jealous of leaving the army in the hands of the former — the antagonism would continue. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1172
