Hi OP, this topic may be very difficult to address in this subreddit, due to this subreddit's 20-year rule against discussing current events. The Algerian Civil War took place from 1991-2002, whereas our cutoff is 1996, which is the half-way point. Respondents are welcome to discuss the impacts of the war on society and population movements in those early years, but this may not be the sort of thorough analysis you're looking for. You might try x-posting in a current events / political science / social science sub for a broader take on refugees of this conflict.

A large number of ethnic algerians in France today are the result of immigration during the so-called "Black Decade",the civil war. But they were migrants,not refugees.Many had Post colonial and somewhat cultural ties to France,along with the french speaking parts of Belgium,and Québec. They also had connections to french citizens of algerian ancestry,which made it somewhat easier to get employed,and enjoy decent standards of living,and citizenship. I apologize if this kind of answer isn't fit for this subreddit. As an algerian I felt forced to answer. I unfortunately lack written sources,but,due to the relatively recent nature of the conflict,I have heard many accurate,detailed "stories" from older friends and relatives.
