Ultra resistance reorganized as the F.A.F. after the barricades failed.
Evidence
The next day, Saturday, the battle resumed with even greater fury. F.A.F. action groups poured oil on steep hillside tram tracks, and parked cars athwart intersections. An attack was made in the direction of the Palais d’Été, where a helicopter pad had been built, and it was rumoured that de Gaulle was going to fly in. Although, as far as bloodshed was concerned, nothing comparable to 24 January had yet occurred, the forces of order were, as Jouhaud had hoped, tiring; there were cases of detachments being submerged, or even being disarmed. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1304 (

On the other hand, the F.A.F. could mark up one very useful acquisition: the Bachaga Boualem, the dedicated ally of France and leader of the “loyal” harkis, who came bringing with him the declared allegiance of 120,000 Algérie française Muslims. Thus, by the time of Tricot’s autumn visit the F.A.F. claimed a million supporters in Algeria alone. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 1277 (
