Epicenter Of Algeria’s Pro-Democracy Protests MovesA pro-democracy movement led to the removal of Algeria’s President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, born 1937, from office in 2019. Bouteflika first came to power in 1999. Despite being ill and confined to a wheelchair he wanted to remain President. The victory of the activists was short-lived as the old guard soon made sure to thwart the democratic process following Bouteflika’s departure. The persisting demonstrations and calls for democratisation have since been met with a bloody crackdown. Now the pro-democracy movement has shifted from the capital and other major cities to the restive Kabylie region. This article is published by North Africa Post. Here is an excerpt:

Some areas in the Kabylie region have seen a turnout in the recent elections close to zero. Nationally turnout was at 30% the lowest in 20 years.
