Thousands of Algerians demonstrated in the capital Algiers, demanding a delay to the country’s presidential election in renewed anti-government protests.
Last month, long-time President, Abdelaziz Bouteflika resigned after weeks of nationwide protests and under pressure from the powerful military.
Interim President Abdelkader Bensalah, appointed by the parliament to lead a transitional period, has set presidential polls for July 4th.
But protesters packed the centre of the capital Algiers for the 14th week in a row, calling for Bensalah and other key Bouteflika-era officials, including Prime Minister Noureddine Bedoui, to step down before the elections are held.
The demonstrators vowed to boycott the vote and some expressed fears of vote fraud.
