At the moment of his departure the balance sheet claimed that 26,600 rebels had been "knocked out", 11,000 captured, and nearly 21,000 arms recovered in that period, while Boumedienne's 10,000 strong "army of the exterior" showed every sign of being—at least temporarily—neutralised. The A.L.N. of the "interior" could no longer muster more than 8,000 men, in scattered and generally demoralised groups.
