Algerians Take to Streets 2 Years After Start of Historic Protests That Led to President's Resignation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Algeria, thousands took to the streets Monday, despite heavy police
presence, to mark the second anniversary of mass demonstrations which
led to the resignation of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in 2019.

Abdou: "We stopped protesting for more than a year due to the
coronavirus pandemic, but we have returned to resume the journey of the
February 22nd protests and continue until our goals are achieved, God
willing. The students will not stop and will return to the streets. Long
live Algeria."
