| Algerian police disperse opposition protest |
| 2011-02-21 |
| [Maghrebia] Algerian police on Saturday (February 19th) prevented hundreds of anti-government protesters from staging another Algiers rally, local and international press reported. The march was held by the National Co-ordination for Change and Democracy (CNCD). The CNCD said earlier that the protests would proceed as planned, despite assurances from Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia to lift Algeria's long-standing state of emergency by the end of the month and adopt housing and employment measures. |
