ALGIERS - The biggest demonstrations in Algeria since the 2011 Arab Spring uprising have died down since the weekend, but cracks are appearing within a ruling elite long regarded as invincible.
Several public figures have announced their resignations in a country where personnel changes normally take place behind closed doors. An anonymous call for a general strike has gone largely unheeded but the leadership faces another test - an online call for a “march of 20 million” - this coming Friday.
“Bouteflika’s men will leave, no doubt, but the political system based on consensus among the ruling elite will stay no doubt,” he said. “I can’t see an alternative to the system which will be updated as usual to adapt to the changes and demands of demonstrators.” Bouteflika has not spoken in public since suffering a stroke in 2013. He remains at a hospital in Geneva for medical checks.
