Thousands Protest in Algeria for 50th Consecutive Week Demanding President's Resignation
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Algeria, thousands of protesters took to the streets of the capital
Algiers Tuesday demanding the resignation of President Abdelmadjid
Tebboune. Mass anti-government protests have been demanding the ouster
of the country's political elite for nearly one year and forced the
resignation of Algeria's longtime former ruler Abdelaziz Bouteflika in
April. This is one of the protesters.

Imen: "We are protesting to completely change the regime - not to change
half of it and then half of the gang stays with the president, who is
humiliating us in front of all nations."
