Algerian students took to the streets of Algiers for the 32nd consecutive week, protesting against the current government and demanding radical change. The protesters, comprising university students from various faculties, gathered at the Place des Martyrs before marching towards the city center. They chanted slogans opposing the government, including calls for the release of detained protesters and an end to military rule.
The protesters expressed their opposition to the upcoming presidential election scheduled for December 12, chanting slogans such as "No election with the current regime" and "No vote, no pardon." They also demanded an independent judiciary and a free press. The students reiterated their commitment to continuing the protests until their demands are met, with one protester stating that they will not stop until their goals are achieved.
The protests drew support from many citizens, who joined the students in their march through the city. One student expressed her desire for a better Algeria, where the rule of law is upheld and living conditions are improved for all citizens. Another protester emphasized the need for the departure of symbols of the old regime to build a new Algeria.
This week's protest was part of a long-standing movement that began in February, with students organizing weekly marches and national strikes. The students have consistently shown their support for the people's demands, and their protests have become a regular occurrence in the capital.
The protesters' demands are centered around achieving a democratic and free Algeria, with a focus on releasing detained protesters and rejecting the current government's attempts to hold elections.
