For the 26th consecutive Friday, thousands of Algerians took to the streets of Tizi-Ouzou, defying the summer heat and holidays, to demand the release of detained protesters and reject dialogue with government officials. The protesters, armed with motivation and determination, chanted slogans and carried placards, calling for the unconditional release of those detained. The demonstrations, which began at 2 pm, started from the University of Hasnaoua and ended at the Place de la Bougie.
The protesters' main demands remain unchanged, with a focus on the release of detained protesters, whom they consider as "hostages." Photos of Samira Messouci, Lakhdar Bouregaa, and Ould Taleb Amine, among others, were displayed during the march. The protesters also rejected the dialogue initiated by the government, led by Karim Younes, aimed at organizing presidential elections. They chanted slogans, such as "No dialogue with the symbols of the system" and "No election with the ruling party."
The protesters also demanded a transition to a democratic system, an end to corruption, and an independent judiciary. They called for the departure of the government, led by Bedoui, and the head of state, Bensalah. The protesters also targeted the head of the army staff with hostile slogans. The march was marked by solidarity and civism, with no incidents reported.
The demonstrations in Tizi-Ouzou have been ongoing since February 22, with protesters demanding a change in the government and an end to corruption. The protesters have been calling for the "instauration of the second republic" and the departure of the current government. The slogans chanted during the march, such as "Klitou Leblad Ya saraqine" and "La Hiwar, la chiwar, transition obligatoire," reflect the protesters' demands for change.
