Alors qu’il est annoncé en partance pour Genève pour un séjour médical, Bouteflika ne cesse de créer la discorde au sein de son pays. Vendredi 22 février, les rues à Alger ont en effet été investies par des milliers de manifestants qui ont scandé leur désapprobation vis-à-vis de la continuité de la présidence algérienne.

«Bouteflika, le Marocain, il n’y aura pas de cinquième mandat !» scandaient-ils. La manifestation qui s’est déroulée après la prière du vendredi, vers la Grande poste, a été encadré par un important dispositif policier et n’aurait pas connu de débordements.
