Ibrahim Shuqqa spoke about the consequences of the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) in Algeria.

Ibrahim Shuqqa: And from here, I mention, my Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good, when some of our brothers from Algeria came to us and we sat with them and spoke to them, reminding them and explaining to them the dangers that if they opposed the political matters, they would face many obstacles. And yet, they proceeded on this path. And today, today it happened, and I am hearing the news... By Allah, since the fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) began in Algeria, after the People's National Assembly that the Salvation Front won in was dissolved, until today, the number of killed has been ten thousand killed, of course all Muslims, and praise be to Allah, except for a few. Yes, so let us imagine this fruit. And perhaps many of those who philosophize about standing in defiance, strength, and severity against the regimes, perhaps they say that these are martyrs, thus deceiving themselves that they are martyrs. And I do not know how you interpret martyrdom if its fuel is these hundreds or these many thousands in a fitnah (trial, discord or temptation) whose beginning is unknown and whose end is unknown. And we say here to our brothers, reminding them also in Algeria and elsewhere, to fear Allah in the blood of Muslims, their honor, and their souls, and to call things by their true names, and not to deviate from the Shari'ah line that Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) has drawn, such as His saying: [Al-An'am 6:153] [Hud 11:112].
And, [moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you will be separated from His way
و أن هذا صرطي مستقيما فاتبعوه و لا تتبعوا السبل فتفرق بكم عن سبيلهSo remain on a right course as you have been commanded, [you] and those who have turned back with you [to Allah], and do not transgress. Indeed, He is Seeing of what you do.
فاستقم كما أمرت و من تاب معك و لا تطغوا إنه بما تعملون بصيرا
