Algeria's former President Bouteflika dies at 84

Bouteflika, a veteran of Algeria's war for independence, had ruled the North African country for two decades before his resignation in April 2019 after street demonstrations rejecting his plan to seek a fifth term.

After Algeria's independence from France in 1962, former president Bouteflika became Algeria's first foreign minister and an influential figure in the Non-Aligned movement.

South Africans must thank Bouteflika, at the time as the President of the UN General Assembly, for an important role he played in the decision to isolate the racist government of South Africa. RIP Bouteflika dzonline AlgeriaTimes PolisarioEU
