Algeria is bracing for widespread protests as demonstrators await confirmation on whether or not President Abdelaziz Boutiflika will seek a fifth term. Crowds turned out in the capital Algiers and other towns calling on the 82-year-old Bouteflika to drop plans to run again.

Rallies demanding his resignation have been gaining momentum ahead of the deadline for contenders to officially register their candidacy.
