Thousands of Algerians demonstrate in major cities demanding resignation of 82-year-old President Bouteflika
Demonstrators stand atop of a vehicle as they wave national flags during a protest calling on President Bouteflika to quit, in Algiers, Algeria on March 22, 2019.
The number of protesters was much smaller than predicted by organisers, however, as rain appeared to dampen attendance on the fifth straight Friday since nationwide anti-Bouteflika protests began on February 22. Police officers stand guard as people take part in a protest calling on President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to quit, in Algiers, Algeria on March 22, 2019. Bouteflika, badly weakened by a 2013 stroke, has remained an enigma, with very few public appearances. The president returned earlier this month after two weeks in a Geneva hospital, but the exact state of his health is unclear.
