What you need to know:

  • President Tebboune came to power in a presidential election last December after an unprecedented months-long protest movement that had forced longtime president Abdelaziz Bouteflika to resign the previous April.
  • Formerly a prime minister under Bouteflika, he has sought a constitutional referendum, ostensibly as an answer to the popular protest movement.

Algeria,

Algeria will hold a promised referendum on a revised constitution on November 1, the office of President Abdelmadjid Tebboune announced on Monday evening.
