Algeria opposition to hold protest

Thousands of police in riot gear were in position in the centre of the Algerian capital to stop a planned pro-democracy demonstration that could mimic the uprising which forced out Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

Officials have banned Saturday's opposition march in Algiers, setting the stage for possible clashes between police and demonstrators.

Protesters are demanding greater democratic freedoms, a change of government, and more jobs. The demonstration was set to begin at 11:00 am (1000 GMT).

"We are ready for the march," said Mohsen Belabes, a spokesman for the Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD) opposition party, which is one of the organisers of the protest. "It's going to be a great day for democracy in Algeria."

Mubarak's resignation on Friday, and last month's overthrow of Tunisian leader, Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, have electrified the Arab world.

Many are left wondering which country could be next in a region where a flammable mix of authoritarian rule and popular anger are the norm.



Libya is between Egypt and Algeria. Wonder if Kadafy(sp) is comfortable? The whole of N. Africa is revolting. Iran has cut off all news of what is happening. But they, the people, must know what is going on. Will they try again to toss Amadinnerjacket? Hope so, but could be very bloody. Even with the O we have it so good in this country.

Any Arab country is not safe from this wave of revolution with the exception of Iran and Syria.

There is an article somewhere that said Urkel gave Iran a stern warning today. I'll see if I can find it again.

Iran is probably funding most of these "revolutions'.

What happens when the Tea Party holds another million man/woman/child rally at the National Mall and don't leave until Bozo and Clueless step down?

 

Will Bozo and Clueless support their right of assembly?

Will they demand that their voices be heard?

 

Didn't think so
