War-weariness and compromise talk spread inside the F.L.N. after 13 May

Evidence

But at the same time the A.L.N.’s losses had been twice that number, and in trained djounoud it could ill spare. Morale among the combatants in some units was shakier than it had perhaps ever been; following the mysterious “liquidation” of Ramdane Abane, the atmosphere in the higher echelons of the C.C.E. was far from happy; inside the country war-weariness, ever latent, showed signs of taking a greater hold as the “exterior” proved increasingly incapable of supplying the “interior” with the arms it so badly needed. There was more talk about a “compromise” peace, and as morale waned within so did enthusiasm among the Muslim “brothers” abroad upon whom the F.L.N. relied for arms and support. — Horne, Alistair, A Savage War of Peace- Algeria 1954-1962, 962
