The Algerian National Liberation Front (FLN) has shifted its headquarters from Nasser's propaganda-saturated Cairo to the relatively French-friendly atmosphere of Tunis, and also showed a willingness to accept the standing mediation offer of Tunisia's Premier Habib Bourguiba and Morocco's moderate Sultan Mohammed V. Quick to understand the significance of the FLN move, French Foreign Minister Christian Pineau dispatched young (31) Foreign Affairs Ministry Aide Jean-Yves Goëau-Brissonnière to a trade...
