According to "A History of the Middle East" by Saul Friedman (a rather idiosyncratic, poorly-edited book I'm reading for research purposes), the anti-independence Secret Army during the Algerian War of Independence wanted, as a last resort, to declare independence from France and maintain colon rule on their own.

Could such a thing be pulled off? And how long could it last?

I posted a similar scenario on the old board, but I don't remember what anyone said about it.
