Algerian Presidency Brings Ahmed Ouyahia Back as Prime Minister

by Reuters

   ALGIERS --

   Algeria's presidency has named Ahmed Ouyahia as prime minister,
   replacing Abdelmadjid Tebboune after just three months in the job, the
   president's office said on Tuesday.

   The statement from President Abdelaziz Bouteflika's office gave no
   reason for the change. Ouyahia, 65, has already served three terms as
   prime minister and most recently was serving as Bouteflika's chief of
   staff.
