From France.

Explanation:

Algeria gained independence from France after a long war starting in the middle of the fifties, and characterized by extreme ferocity and loss of lives on both sides, through acts of terrorism (bombs, shootings), guerrilla and counter-guerrilla warfare, widespread torture and summary executions.
France came to the point of sending special troops into Algeria (paratroopers known as "lizards", for the green color of their uniforms) to fight the FLN (national liberation front) members.
