Algerian protesters march through central Algiers to demand Thursday's presidential election be cancelled
Demonstrators carry banners and gesture during a protest rejecting the upcoming presidential election in Algiers, Algeria, December 10, 2019. The banner reads:"No election on December 12, 2019."
While the military, the dominant force in the pouvoir — "the power" — has cast the election as the only way to end the stalemate on the streets, the protesters reject it as a sham designed to maintain the status quo. All five of the state-approved candidates running on Thursday are former senior officials linked to the former president Abdelaziz Bouteflika whom the army forced aside in April in response to the protests.
