Question: Name of the Algeria’s president who resigned after 20 years is;
[A].
Abdelaziz Bouteflika |
[B].
Rachid Nekkaz |
[C].
Djamel Ould Abbes |
[D].
Ramtane Lamamra |
Answer: Option A
Explanation:
Algeria’s long-serving president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced his resignation, after mass protests demanding an end to his rule, and after a call from the army for him to be declared unfit to hold office. Bouteflika came to the presidency after its darkest period, the 1990s Islamic insurgency. After taking power in 1999, he managed to bring back stability to a country devastated by killings and distrust. Mr Bouteflika has not publicly spoken and has been wheelchair-bound since a stroke in 2013. Bouteflika is accused of failing to create an economy that could offer enough jobs, despite the nation’s vast oil and gas wealth. Abdelkader Bensalah took charge as interim leader for a maximum of 90 days as elections are organised.
