In Algeria, shares of opponents of the president of Bethefliki continue, troops are pulled into the capital

In the capital of Algeria, promotions are held against the president of the country Abdel Aziz Butifliki. As Interfax reports, Buteflik called on his opponents to refrain from new performances. He warned that protests could immerse the country in chaos.

The 82-year-old president in a letter published by the APS state news agency warns that local and foreign provocateurs can be among the protesters.

In the capital of Algeria, the work of public transport was stopped, security forces and equipment for dispersing demonstrators, including water guns, are pulled into the city center.

Activists say that Buteflika is very sick and is not able to rule the country. In April 2013, he suffered a severe stroke, his state of health worsened greatly, he rarely began to appear in public. Since then, the president has been moving in a wheelchair, but in April 2014 he once again won the election.

Since February 24, the president has been in a clinic in Geneva, where he often comes to undergo medical procedures. On March 2, the Lebanese television channel AL-MAYADEEN, citing a medical source in Geneva, said that the condition of the butefliki is critical, it is in the intensive care unit.

Boris Dolgov, senior researcher at the Arab and Islamic Studies of the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, told The Insider whether there is now in the Algerian policy of the alternative to Butiflik and his environment and why the current president can still win the elections, despite his condition.
