1992 Anti Islamist Coup in Algeria

The 1992 Algerian coup d'état took place on 11 January 1992. Concerned by the FIS victory in the first round of the 1991 parliamentary election, the army took action and cancelled the electoral process to prevent the forming of an Islamic state in Algeria. The army forced president Chadli Bendjedid to resign and brought in the exiled Mohamed Boudiaf to serve as the new president.
