ALGIERS, Algeria — Five days after his election as Algeria's new president, it's clear Abdelmadjid Tebboune will not be enjoying any kind of honeymoon period.
Following the election Dec. 12-13, Algerians returned to the streets to show their determination for a complete overhaul of the ruling political class. Protesters view Tebboune, who briefly served as prime minister in 2017, as a way for the political-military regime to present a new facade while stopping far short of the overhaul protesters have sought since toppling President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in April.
