Algerian students protest against Bouteflika’s fifth term bid
Tens of thousands of Nigerian students have joined the protests against 81-year old president Abdelaziz Bouteflika’s decision to run for a fifth term.
In the capital Algiers, there were brief scuffles with police who fired tear gas.
Reports say many more students avoided confronting by rallying on campus grounds in Algiers and other cities.
It was the fifth of protests venting anger at Mr. Bouteflika’s bid to extend his 20-year rule.
