Social unrest in Algeria
Algeria is covered with rioting youth, protesting against increased cost of living. Scenes of men barricading roads, burning tyres have been glued in the media. The media also reports that angry youth attacked police stations and torched government buildings.
The youth, aged below 30 years, account for 75% of Algeria’s 35 million people.
Wikileaks reports highlighted increased corruption in the Algeria.
Neighboring Tunisia is witnessing similar violent attacks. A Tunisian man even set himself on fire after police confiscated the fruits and vegetables he was selling, dying of his wounds a month later, according to police and medical releases.
