In Algiers, protesters have been marching for eight consecutive Fridays against the country's leadership. They are dissatisfied with the departure of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika and demand complete political change. Anger is directed at military chief General Ahmed Gaid Salah, who initially supported Bouteflika's departure but later backed interim President Abdelkader Ben Salah, seen as part of the old regime.
