The FLNC-Canal Historique (Corsican: Canale Storicu; abbreviated FLNC-CS) was an armed paramilitary and guerrilla organization created in 1990 from a split within the command structure of the original FLNC.
[1] In 1999, The FLNC-CS became one of the founding members of the FLNC-Union of Combattants,[2] a guerrilla organization which remains active today following the end of a nine-year long ceasefire.
[1] One month earlier, the “Habituel Channel” (FLNC-Canale Abituale, FLNC-CA) was formed out of the dissolution of the brigade council and Orsoni’s seizure of power.
Several high-ranking officials and division leaders, such as Jean-Michel Rossi (Balagne), François Santoni (Gravona), and Charles Pieri (Borgo-Lucciana) withdrew their brigades from the FLNC and began a campaign against the organization from 1988 to 1989.
In March 1991, the FLNC-CA held a meeting in which many high-ranking officials attended where they announced a halt on actions against the French government in order to focus on targeting and dismantling the FLNC-CS.
