ALGIERS - Algerians took to the streets in celebration on Monday evening after ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced that he had abandoned his decision to seek a fifth term, bowing to weeks of mass demonstrations against his 20-year rule.
After the announcement, a crowd of demonstrators took to the streets waving a huge Algerian flag. Hundreds of people, young and old, joined the throng, jumping up and down with excitement. Cars beeped their horns in approval. In a series of announcements on Monday evening, the presidency said the election, previously set for April, would now be postponed. It did not set a new date.
More than 1,000 judges said on Monday they would refuse to oversee the election if Bouteflika stood. Clerics said they would not accept government orders about what to preach.

Algeria’s President Won’t Seek Fifth Term After ProtestsAlgeria’s ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika said he won’t seek a fifth term in power, bowing to popular pressure after widespread protests shook the North African nation. Thank god, despite the fact that they are dying they do not want to loosen their grip on government. And from death bed they want to be dictators. The geriatric tyranny has ended, no country for old men. Be prepared for a new Bouteflika as dictators won’t quit without reinstating their dictator-like successors.
