BREAKING: Algerian Army demands immediate removal of President Bouteflika from office
The Algerian Army has stepped in to ensure the exit of President Abdelaziz Bouteflika from office.
The army chief urged an immediate adoption of the country’s Article 102, which allows for a president to vacate office if declared unfit, according to Algerian media. The protests stemmed from Mr Bouteflika’s extended medical vacation in Switzerland, which citizens said was costing the country too much in terms of state business.
Mr Bouteflika, however, postponed the scheduled presidential elections to allow for some issues to be resolved.
