A surprise move in Algeria two weeks ago. On Monday 11 March, 82-year old president Abdelaziz Bouteflika announced that he would not seek a fifth term. At the same time, he cancelled the elections which would take place on 18 April. Citizens in Algeria have protested his candidacy since February.

It is not surprising then, that there exists fear of increasing numbers of Algerian migrants wanting to flee towards Europe.
