Algeria, Politics, 5/2/2001

The Algerian Rally for Culture and Democracy (RCD) party decided Tuesday to withdraw from the government and saying it is ready for "any consultation about the preservation and consolidation of the republican state and the democratic perspective." according to the official news agency APS.

This comes in the environment of riots taking place in the berber region by youth.

The RCD also called on the Algerians to "carry on the democratic and republican struggle by all kinds of peaceful ways and means" estimating that "the national rebuilding imposes itself as the patriotic emergency," the report said.

The Algerian President Abdelaziz Bouteflika called on Monday on "those of Kabylie who have been at the vanguard of our liberating fight, to remain mobilised for the edification of the republican and democratic state for which the past generations have not stopped to work for, and that today's youth is to defend and consolidate."
