Hundreds of protesters have marched through the Algerian capital Algiers demanding President Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s immediate resignation.
Mr Bouteflika has dropped his bid for a fifth term, but protesters are demanding he step down now, accusing him of a ploy to prolong his 20-year rule.
BBC North Africa correspondent Rana Jawad says that to satisfy the protesters’ demands, a timetable for the president’s departure was needed.
