By late 1960 both Muslim and European Algerians had lost faith in de Gaulle

Evidence

Making a fresh visit to Algiers in October, his first since “Operation Tilsit”, Bernard Tricot noted a “rapid deterioration” in the atmosphere: “Among the Muslims: extreme lassitude, profound disappointment now that they had assessed better the breakdown at Melun, interest increasing for the international activities of the F.L.N. and for the U.N. debates. On the European side: profound disquiet, a lively hostility towards the government, and no real rapprochement with the Muslims.” — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1276
