Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika is expected to leave a hospital in Paris and return to Algeria soon, a source close to the presidency told Reuters Monday. Bouteflika was rushed to a hospital in France on April 27 after a stroke.
The 76-year-old has ruled the North African oil and gas producer since 1999. He is part of an older generation of leaders who have dominated politics in the former French colony, Bouteflika appeared on state television on June 12 meeting his prime minister and army chief of staff at the Institution Nationale des Invalides in Paris.
