Algeria (Security threat level – 4): On 26 March 2019, Algeria’s army chief of staff Gen. Ahmed Gaid Salah called for President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to be officially declared unfit to rule in accordance with the country’s constitution. According to Article 102 of the constitution, the Constitutional Council may remove the president from office if he is unable to perform his duties. The leader of Algeria’s upper house of parliament will then act as interim president for at least 45 days and no more than 90 days. After the 90-day period expires, officials must organize new elections. Members of Algeria’s opposition criticized Salah’s statement, declaring it insufficient to meet popular demand, and instead called for immediate free and fair elections.
In a related development, approximately 6,000 protesters gathered in downtown Algiers to call for the resignation of President Bouteflika. The protesters were primarily students. There were no reports of violence.
