Political earthquake in Algeria

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

I would have expected Bouteflika to have more control over his Army and Party to circumvent any challenge at the worst of times.

Bouteflika seems to barely have any control over his own head and body himself, the former tough guy in the army that was supposed to control everything, 'Toufik', seems to have left in 2015, who knows who controls what since then.

I only followed it from very far away, but seems that what's noticeable is that it looks like quite different demonstrations than what Algeria usually shows since the end of Civil War, which mostly oftentimes were very violent short enough rioting that were often sorted out by giving a bit of oil money, just like those that happened in the same time that Tunisia had started its first demonstrations that later led to Révolution, or big social movements more or less of the French kind, some big ones also took place during 'Arab Spring', but the attempt at jumping into Arab Spring itself been very short and very quickly kept under control with big police forces, the fear of Civil War was still there apparently, this fear might be a bit less now...

All of this would have helped this movement to have gained some stuffs already, and hopefully to gain still more...

Algérie : le chef d'état-major de l'armée demande que le président Bouteflika soit déclaré inapte https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/afrique/algerie/election-presidentielle-en-algerie/algerie-le-chef-d-etat-major-de-l-armee-demande-que-le-president-abdelaziz-bouteflika-soit-declare-inapte_3251023.html#xtor=CS2-765-[autres]-

U might sort out something with google for translation

Army is abandoning Bouteflika apparently, it would now belong to Constitional Council to open the procedure stating that Bouteflika is unable to be Président, apparently the president of this Council is a Boutef' friend though

The best possible result out of this procedure would be new elections without Bouteflika in less than 6 months

Hopefully they get something better than the Egyptian scenario, which is what it looks like with this

DIRECT. Algérie : le parti RND, principal allié du président Abdelaziz Bouteflika, réclame sa démission https://www.francetvinfo.fr/monde/afrique/algerie/election-presidentielle-en-algerie/direct-algerie-le-parti-rnd-principal-allie-de-bouteflika-reclame-sa-demission_3252181.html#xtor=CS2-765-[autres]-

Main political party allied to Boutef', RND, is officially asking him to resign, the military and the current dominating political parties would be trying to organize buisness as usual with putting someone else in the wheelchair

What's fine to see though so far is that through all echoes i have Algerians don't seem to be naive about the military at all, unlike the way it could have been with Egyptians at some point

Military asking Bouteflika to resign right now

They're trying to bag protests apparently, especially the big chief of staff Ahmed Gaïd Salah personally, but since that latter one seems to look just like Bouteflika with other clothes in the eyes of most protesters, by trying to save the system through his own personality he might just end up doing the exact opposite to that brilliant system ^^

When Ahmed wants something...

Bouteflika officially resigned, now that will become interesting...

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Amusing to see State TV displaying all the way people celebrating in the streets, would be interesting to see what they display next Friday ^^

That clearly shows as a 1st victory of the 1st battle for people anyways, so may they enjoy and may it helps them to get further
