Hundreds at anti-govt rally in Algerian capital

Hundreds of demonstrators are protesting in Algeria's capital to demand the ouster of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, but police are out in far larger numbers to counter the protesters.

 

The protest on central Martyrs Square comes two days after the government ended a 19-year state of emergency born of Algeria's bloody Islamic insurgency. The move aimed to ease tensions after weeks of anti-government strikes and protests. (AP)
