Evidence

It was their ambitious aim to sever its tenuous communications with the rest of Algeria, spark off a general uprising there, and ultimately (according to Ben Bella) make it Algeria’s “principal revolutionary stronghold”. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 265 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
