CORRECTION - An Algerian draped in the national flag takes part in a demonstration against ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in the capital Algiers on March 22, 2019. - Bouteflika said on February 22 he would run for a fifth term in April 18 elections, despite concerns about his ability to rule. The 82-year-old uses a wheelchair and has rarely appeared in public since suffering a stroke in 2013. Following initial protests, he made the surprise announcement on March 11 that he was pulling out of the race -- and also postponed the polls.

Faute de leaders consensuels pour négocier la transition, les contestataires n’ont qu’un seul mot d’ordre : "Dégagez !" Sans direction identifiée, le mouvement de rejet du régime Bouteflika risque de prêter le flanc aux provocations du pouvoir. Ou à la récupération des islamistes, qui, pour l’instant, se font discrets. Mais les prétendants au leadership peinent à se faire accepter. En refusant de démissionner de l’Assemblée nationale, l’opposition est décriée comme un "appendice du régime qui profite des mêmes privilèges que ceux qu’ils feignent de combattre". Réunis la semaine dernière, ses chefs se sont alignés derrière Kamel Guemazi, ancien dirigeant du Front islamique du Salut (FIS, dissout en 1992) pour la prière de l’après-midi. Symbole d’une alliance contre nature entre d’anciens barons du régime éjectés du sérail, et des partis sans troupes avec un parti liberticide, la vidéo de cette prière qui a fuité sur les réseaux sociaux a fait scandale.
