On the second anniversary of street protests that ousted Algeria's longtime president, thousands took to the streets to demand more change.
More than 5,000 protesters chanted: "A civilian state, not a military state" and "The gang must go" as they waved Algerian flags in the city of Kherrata.
Tuesday's protest was held to mark the second anniversary of the start of demonstrations in 2019, which began in Kherrata, east of the capital Algiers, before spreading across the country.
The town, some 200 kilometres east of the capital Algiers, was the site of a thousands-strong protest on February 16, 2019, against Abdelaziz Bouteflika's bid for a fifth term.
"We came to revive the Hirak that was stopped for health reasons. They didn't stop us. We stopped because we care for our people. Today coronavirus is over and we will get the Hirak back," said Nassima, a protester.
The Hirak movement demanded a complete removal of Algeria's entrenched political elite and continued to mobilise tens of thousands of protesters every week even after Bouteflika stepped down from the presidency.
His successor, Abdelmadjid Tebboube, elected in December 2019 in a vote that Hirak supporters dismissed as a charade, has publicly praised the movement while seeking to move past it with limited concessions including tweaks to the constitution.
The weekly mass protests stopped a year ago when the Covid-19 pandemic brought a lockdown to Algeria.

2) Smishing
The SMS equivalent of phishing. Fraudsters falsify the telephone number through “text spoofing,” so that it appears to be a genuine text from the bank.

5) Identity theft
Someone illegally obtains your confidential information, through various ways, such as theft of your wallet, bank and utility bill statements, computer intrusion and social networks.
