Ranks of police officers wearing helmets and equipped with shields tried to block the protesters and confine them to a pavement around 10 meters (yards) from the post office esplanade. But amid shouts of “Long live Algeria! Peacefully, our claims are legitimate!”, hundreds of the protesters successfully forced their way through the police cordon and headed for the esplanade. Around a dozen protesters were arrested and placed in police vans, witnesses said.Link to original article Previous Article Iran says reducing nuclear deal commitments to save it from 'total collapse' Next Article Russia intercepts US spy plane over Black Sea Print 56 Rate this article: No rating Tags: Africa Leave a comment Name: Please enter a name.
