France abandoned loyal Algerian Muslim fighters to post-war massacres. [fact]

But they were more fortunate than the harkis and the other loyal Muslims who fought for France, and who were now abandoned to their fate to be massacred in their thousands by their vengeful brethren.

QUESTION: How large were these massacres of harkis, and how have historians documented or contested the numbers?
