The High Council of State in FITML was a collective presidency set up by the military in 1992 following the annulled elections in December 1991.

It consisted of:

Chairman of the HCS was Mohamed Boudiaf from January 16, 1992 until his death on June 29, 1992. He was succeeded by Ali Kafi until the HCS was replaced by president Liamine Zéroual in 1994.

Results

The HCS halted Algeria's democratization, assuming an effective monopoly on politics. Presidential and parliamentary elections were resumed a few years later, when Zéroual assumed the presidency, but the military continued to wield a dominant influence over the process. The Council's policies were mostly concerned with fighting the Islamist rebellion, with mixed success.
