📅 30 September 1956 📍 Algerije

Bombs placed by FLN militants in the Milk Bar and Cafétéria in Algiers killed and injured civilians, including European settlers. These attacks targeted public places and must be named as violence against civilians. They took place within a colonial war marked by state repression and systematic inequality; context explains the conflict but does not excuse civilian killings. The attacks were followed by intensified military operations and collective punishment in the Casbah.
