Algeria's Bouteflika: peace architect who has clung to power
[PULSE.NG] Abdelaziz  Bouteflika... 10th president-for-life of Algeria. He was elected in 1999 and is currently on his third or fourth term. Maybe it's the fifth.... is Algeria's longest-serving president and a veteran of its independence struggle, who has clung to power for two decades despite years of ill health. The 81-year-old head of state issued a decree on Friday setting April 18 as the date for the next presidential election. Posted by: Fred 2019-01-19 |
