Algeria protests: This is what a revolution feels like
The article discusses the political situation in Algeria following the resignation of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika after weeks of mass protests. The army chief, Ahmed Gaid Salah, called for Bouteflika's removal, which was followed by celebrations from Algerians who seek a radical change in leadership and the political system. The article suggests that Algerians must continue their peaceful protests, win over passive opposition, and gain institutional support to ensure real change. It draws parallels with Serbia's Bulldozer Revolution and emphasizes the importance of nonviolence and building local capabilities for sustained action. The article also acknowledges the challenges that lie ahead in the transition towards democracy and the rebuilding of the country's institutions.
Is Bouteflika’s resignation enough for Algerians?
Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has resigned after 20 years in power due to massive street protests. The constitution mandates the speaker of parliament to take over as interim leader until elections occur. However, there is uncertainty about the duration of the transition, with protesters demanding a complete overhaul of the political system. The peacefulness of the power transition remains a concern.
What will a post-Bouteflika Algeria look like?
Algeria's President Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned following anti-government protests, leading to questions about the country's political future. In Chad, a social media ban has been in place for over a year after protests and a recommendation for President Idris Deby to rule until 2033. Ugandan activist Stella Nyanzi remains detained for her critical poem about President Yoweri Museveni, raising concerns about freedom of expression in Uganda.
A Protest Made in Algeria
The article describes the author's experience returning to Algeria to witness the protests against President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's fifth term. The protests, which have been ongoing since February 22, are notable for their peaceful and civil nature, with millions participating across the country. The movement is leaderless but organized, primarily through social media platforms like Facebook. The author captures the mood of the demonstrations, noting the chants, the presence of children, and the sense of pride among the protesters. The article also highlights the solidarity among Algerians, with volunteers helping to manage security and clean the streets. The protests culminate at la Grande Poste in Algiers, with the day ending peacefully as agreed upon by the protesters on social media.
Another Battle of Algiers - The New York Times
Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika has announced that he will not run for a fifth term and has postponed the presidential elections originally scheduled for April 18. This decision follows widespread protests across Algeria, which began on February 22, against Bouteflika's re-election bid. The president, who has been in power for two decades and has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke in 2013, also stated that there would be a national conference aimed at political and constitutional reform, with a new Constitution to be ratified via referendum. The article describes the peaceful nature of the protests and the unity between the police and the people.
Are Bouteflika’s Shake-Ups a Sign of Shifting Civil-Military Ties in Algeria?
The article discusses the significant changes within the Algerian military and security apparatus, orchestrated by President Abdelaziz Bouteflika. Over the past few months, Bouteflika has removed numerous high-ranking officials from key positions in the police, gendarmerie, and especially the army, which is a central pillar of the Algerian regime. The dismissals included senior generals and regional army commanders, with some facing subsequent imprisonment on charges of corruption. Although the dismissals seemed to have ended in September, there has been no official explanation for these actions. The article also notes a recent development where Bouteflika reportedly released five of the jailed generals.
The Stakes of Change in Algeria?
Dalia Ghanem-Yazbeck, a resident scholar at the Carnegie Middle East Center, appeared on the 'Mihawar' program on France 24 to discuss her latest study on change in Algeria. She noted the Algerian regime's ability to adapt over time, yet without showing any fundamental change. Ghanem-Yazbeck emphasized the youthful composition of Algerian society and the need for leaders to consider offering change for this generation. The interview was broadcast on France 24.
