ALGIERS - Algerian war veterans said protesters demanding ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika step down after 20 years in power had legitimate concerns and urged all citizens to demonstrate, in another sign of cracks in the ruling elite.
“It is the duty of Algerian society in all its segments to take to the streets,” the influential National Organization of Mujahideen - veterans who fought alongside Bouteflika in the 1954-1962 war of independence against France - said late on Tuesday. 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 Friday.
