Algerians rally for Bouteflika allies to quit, too

Algerians have once again taken to the streets to demand an overhaul of the political system after their pro-democracy movement forced President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to resign earlier this week after 20 years in power. Tens of thousands of people massed in Algiers and marched towards the central post office. The demonstrators now want the departure of key allies of Bouteflika, including the men who head Algeria’s three branches of power: the PM, chief of the upper house of parliament and the president of the constitutional court.
